Basically white chicks before white chicks, still honestly kind of funny. The romance isn’t really for me in it but I’d still say it was a solid flick. Not much to complain about except it’s really just not my style of film I gravitate towards.

Some Like It Hot (1959)
Some Like It Hot walked so “White Chicks” could run. I got so much praise for this film it is very funny and among the greatest comedies ever.
Another masterpiece by Billy Wilder he never seems to disappoint. Marilyn Monroe plays a dumb materialistic blonde in this film if this doesn’t make u wanna watch it i dont know what will.
Rating 5/5 🎬 ♥️
