Whiteboyz

In a virtually all-white Iowa town, Flip daydreams of being a hip-hop star, hanging with Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr. Dre. He practices in front of a mirror and with his two pals, James and Trevor. He talks Black slang, he dresses Black. He's also a wannabe pusher, selling flour as cocaine. And while he talks about "keeping it real," he hardly notices real life around him: his father's been laid off, his mother uses Food Stamps, his girlfriend is pregnant, James may be psychotic, one of his friends (one of the town's few Black kids) is preparing for college, and, on a trip to Chicago to try to buy drugs, the cops shoot real bullets. What will it take for Flip to get real?

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

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.

Danny Hoch is Flip, a kid living in Iowa who believes that he is a white man trapped in a black man's body. He raps with constant yo yo yo motherf****** and the other common words used in the genre. Along with two other aspiring wiggers, the trio travel to the infamous Cabrini Green housing projects in Chicago with the intent of becoming big time drug dealers. The delusional Flip becomes entangled with some real life gangsters with interesting results. The fantasy sequences are an unnecessary distraction which interrupts the flow of the story. The acting is superb; most especially by the lead, Danny Hoch. He is Eminem with a better sense of humor. Eight Mile is a better movie, as is Gridlock'd with Tupac Shakur. Even so, White Boyz is worth the ride.

As I read reviews of this movie I just can't keep feeling like most of you just don't get it. I'm reading comments here on IMDb like "white boys trying to act like they are black (c'mon that is terrible)" or "can someone say Wigger...". You are missing the point. This movie is simply one big satire of young white teenagers who grow up in decent or rich environment (or Iowa) idolizing the ghetto life that they see on MTV and trying to mimic it. As a product of a large city public school system in the mid nineties I saw these kinds of kids every day. It's pretty depressing actually. Low self-esteem kids with terrible identity disorders trying so desperately to find themselves. Or not? Maybe most of them just don't know how to act. Whatever it is I'd have to say that this movie was on point with every aspect of this kind of lifestyle. For someone like me, who went to school with kids like this, Whiteboyz is a hilarious movie! Flip dog is just so incredibly lost in his gangster world, working out scenarios with Khalid before his talks to him, rapping in front of the mirror, etc. Khalid even tries to explain this to Flip and Flip is so lost he just doesn't understand what he is telling him. Khalid was probably the most normal kid in the movie. He respected his Mom, he has aspirations to go to college, and wasn't all about getting in trouble. What was the most revealing about what this movie was trying to do was the scene where James comes out of his "gangster" act and starts ranting racial slurs. Did James have multiple personalities? No. How could you miss the point after seeing that? There are plenty of people I'd like to show this movie to but sadly they won't get it. It's definitely one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. It was acted out perfectly and just down right hilarious. Unfortunately, most of the people just don't get it. Recommended as a wake up call to all you gangster white boys out there that grew up in a stable home. Cheers!

whiteboys, where to start with you? let's see here. first off: this film was a really great idea, and seeing as how it came out in 1999 i have to say it's ahead of it's time. in today's world where hip hop and rap rule the radio stations and kids strive as hard as they can to be "street" this film portrays that and portrays is pretty accurately. three farm boys who long to be more than farm boys, a story that has been seen before in movies like "a river runs through it" where a rural boy grows up and chooses to be a journalist but still keeps in tough with his roots. but this takes that idea, and skews it. it takes the idea and twists it in such a way that the viewer is left thinking that the director is racist, and the movie is stupid. and yet the story of kids growing up on the farm and leaving their rural roots is a story that is played over and over again, and never once really turned in such a way as this. the film takes pop culture, transposes it on these three boys, and then lets them loose. and so they ride about sippin 40's and wearing fubu. selling fake cocaine to people in night clubs and just trying to be as close to "high rollas" or "big pimps" as they can. and the fact is the characters really do show some real rapping talent and show that they can "bust a flow" but at the same time the film shows how awkward these teens are and how alientated they are in a world of trucks, and cornfields these three wear baggy pants and long to drive blinged out tractors. the film. though it is seemingly a comedy, to me seems to be so much more than that. it seems to be a lot deeper than just a simple comedy and puts forth a story that albeit sounds pretty dumb and even is pretty dumb at first glance is really much, much deeper than just a simple comedy, and much, much deeper than the typical "break away from the farm and follow your dreams" transcendentalistic stuff that is seen in so many other films. in the end i think whiteboys is a great movie, and is terribly underrated.
