Marcus and Kevin Copeland (Marlon and Shawn Wayans) are brothers and both are FBI agents who are skillful at being incompetent. After messing up a major drug bust in NYC, they decide to volunteer their services to protect the Wilson sisters when no one else is interested in the assignment. The vain, vamping sisters, Tiffany and Brittany (Anne Dudek and Maitland Ward), are heiresses to a hotel empire (familiar scenario, huh?). Intel to the FBI says that a scheme to kidnap them, as they vacation in the Hamptons, is afoot.

The sisters are involved in an automobile accident and they each get a small bloody scratch on their faces. Horrors, no Hamptons for them; they can’t be seen at the social event of the year like this. The Copeland brothers decide to let the sisters stay in NYC and use themselves as decoys for the kidnappers. Using creative makeup (let’s not ask why these makeup skills could not have been used on the sisters), they transform themselves from brown-skinned African American men to snow-white, blond sisters.

They don’t look bad; actually they look pretty good. They look and act about as ditzy as the real Tiffany and Brittany. When the guys arrive in the Hamptons they do a good job of faking it with the old girlfriends the sisters know. The sisters’ rivals for attention are stuck up, slender, nip/tuck, cover girl types. The Wilson sisters’ crew are rich girls too but they are more ordinary looking, boyfriend-challenged and less buffed and bronzed. While the kidnap plot unfolds, so does a story about values and the self-image of young women.

There are some laugh out loud moments and we liked the film, in spite of the fact that some will believe the film is racist. We don’t agree, as we believe that blacks should have the right to act stupid and make money in "American Pie," "Hey Dude, Where’s My Car" type films as whites do…a dubious equal opportunity. The difference between now and before is that there are dramatic choices ("King Arthur," "The Manchurian Candidate," etc.) for African Americans to have balance in what they do, behind the camera, and how they are portrayed in film.

The roles of Gina (Faune A. Chambers of "Breakin’ All the Rules") and Denise (Rochelle Aytes) capture some of the culture of black women (as well as many single women, regardless of race or social status) in today’s society. The manner in which the film touches upon the subject of black men’s supposed infatuation with white women is also portrayed with tongue in cheek insight.

Overall, "White Chicks" is a slapstick movie that has lots of laughs. Remember "Some Like It Hot," which this movie gives a nod to with a play on the famous last words of that film, "…nobody’s perfect."

George and Pam Agree: The biggest fault we have with the movie is that the editing is sloppy. There’s one scene where Kevin is out of his drag makeup making a play for Denise and in the next scene he’s at a nightclub with his brother Marcus, in full white girl mode. There should have been a transition.
