Whiteboyz (1999)

Great Film overall

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

just writing this to inform the guy that wrote he wanted to puke after hearing Flip's birthmark comment it's a comedy and best viewed if blazed up. In fact if you expect a deep introspective look into white guys acting black this movie is not it. It's a movie with a couple gimmicky lines and i actually LOL'd my ass off thru most of it with my buddies the year it came out. If you're 16-24 you're going to laugh regardless of skin tone. If not thats cool too but why watch the whole thing and just get racist angry? Peace everyone and God Bless! 6 out of ten mostly cause i had a really nice bag of the chronic and it was epic funny.

"White Boyz" has a good premise with the concept of white suburbans that are enticed by the ghetto lifestyle. The story and characters are under developed and loses pacing with the music videos and day dream fantasies. The acting of the lead is weak which makes the film fail. In addition to this the genre of it being a comedy is lost as it moves between bland serious drama with sprinkles of comedy. Almost all the scenarios in this film are serious and don't have any funny characters or light score music or songs to create a comedic tone of any kind. There has been better white boys acting black in movies like "Malibu's Most Wanted" or the character that Seth Green plays in "Can't Hardly Wait". Ultimately it was a good idea with very poor execution.

I love this movie. It hits the nail on the head portraying suburban white kids trying to be thugs by imitating rappers from MTV. You tend to find more of these kids in backwoods towns and deep in the suburbs than in the inner city and this movie seems more like a non-fiction representation of that ridiculous subculture. They even address the fact that these kids weren't dressing the same years ago or listening to the same music. Basically, acting like these kids is similar to deciding to dress like a cowboy because you start to like country music.Anyone who doesn't like or appreciate this movie - the joke's on you, thug life with a North Carolina jersey.

First of all, not only am I embarassed to say that I saw this movie, I'm even more embarassed that I sat through the whole thing. This is the kind of movie that you watch and just get mad, whether your white or black. So I guess these kids are unhappy about where they live (Iowa) and what kid isn't when they're young. Now, if my daughter ever brought home a guy like Flip I would disown her. The guy is a born loser and just wants to be black. Black people don't even act the way that he does. I'm white, but if I was black I would of wanted to pound this guy, just like his one black friend in the movie does.The best part of the movie is when they take a trip to Chicago for a "drug deal" and bring $100 and get laughed out of the apartment. Little reality check white boys. And the part where Flip claims that his birth mark is his real skin color and the rest of him is a birth mark made me want to puke in my soup.I guess the only people that would like this movie are other loser white kids that want to be gangstas and wear K-Mart FUBU jerseys. I can't believe I watched it once and never would again. Kids like that should pickup and baseball or basketball and quit being losers that are going to amount to nothing. If the world has less people like the 3 idiots in this movie, it would be tremendous, for all of us.
