10 Awesome Movie Scenes Trapped In Awful Movies
8. Latrell's Love Song (White Chicks)
White Chicks is an utter abomination: from its unconvincing, nightmarish prosthetics to its silly lowbrow humour and crass tone, it would have completely (and deservedly) faded out of the public consciousness by now were it not for one man, one song, and one short scene.
As basketball player Latrell Spencer, Terry Crews effortlessly steals every moment he appears onscreen. That's partly due to him being the most likeable actor in the whole movie, but also because he fully commits to making his character as lovably dumb as possible, with his unintentional aggressiveness being a particularly funny quirk.
Latrell's best moment overall is his rendition of A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton, sung from the driver's seat of his convertible. This scene has been a prolific meme for years now, and it's not hard to see why: there's something unnervingly captivating about watching this huge greasy muscly dude nailing a bouncy love ballad.
Like with Fist Fight's final scene, this is hardly comedic genius, but it's easy to chuckle at, which is more than can be said for the rest of the movie. It's also hard not to feel sorry for Crews, since the funny spark he brought to the film deserved so much better than this cinematic train wreck.
