When brothers and fellow FBI agents Marcus (Marlon Wayans) and Kevin Copeland (Shawn Wayans) accidentally ruin an otherwise painstakingly executed drug bust, getting back into the good graces of their boss becomes a high-priority assignment in itself. With this in mind, Marcus and Kevin take on a case far beneath their usual standards when they agree to escort socialite sisters Brittany (Maitland Ward) and Tiffany Wilton (Anne Dudek) from a private terminal at JFK Airport to their hotel room in the Hamptons. Once there, two considerably higher-ranking agents will take over the girls' protection. The extra security is no mere perk of wealth, however, as it appears that Brittany and Tiffany have been targeted by a serial kidnapper. The FBI hopes to apprehend the perpetrator by using the girls as bait, unbeknownst to them. The plan may have worked if it weren't for Kevin and Marcus, who manage to let the sisters in on the secret. Understandably, neither of them want any part in the process, so they force the brothers to come up with a radical solution: With the help of an FBI lab scientist, the very much African-American Kevin and Marcus will be transformed into two white women who could pass for Brittany and Tiffany. The agents must keep the charade up long enough to lure the kidnapper, but fooling everyone involved will be the job of their lives. Directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, White Chicks also features James King and Lochlyn Munro. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide

| What is going on in America? A crummy comedy (not even up to the by-the-numbers level) about cross-dressing (man to woman, black to white) can fool audiences into thinking they're seeing something FUNNY?! The make-up and prosthetics here are so bad that the Wayans brothers resemble the zombies from the new "Dawn of the Dead" (which coincidentally is being released on video this same week). It is one thing to consistently go for the most obvious choices, but to do this without any observsble charm or wit becomes a downer--fast. There are MAYBE half a dozen laughs (if you're feeling generous), and every chance to aim for something clever or surprising is lost. Worse, the movie goes all sentimental and gooey as though it suddenly imagines it's on Oprah. Please! These two bros need a good whomp upside the face. |
