White Chicks ** (2004, Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Jamie King, Frankie Faison, Lochlyn Munro, John Heard, Busy Philipps) – Classic Movie Review 10,366

Director Keenen Ivory Wayans’s 2004 crime comedy White Chicks stars Shawn Wayans and Marlon Wayans as disgraced FBI agents Kevin and Marcus Copeland, who go undercover as white chick debutantes Brittany and Tiffany Wilson, spoiled daughters of a tycoon, at a swanky Hamptons resort to probe Warren Vandergeld (John Heard)’s abduction ring.

The jokes in this bold but iffy whiteface cross dressing comedy run the whole gamut from from the dismal to the dodgy to the okay and on to the hilarious in this typically outrageous Wayans Bros romp, with much of the fun coming from the Wayans brothers dressing up as white girls.

Also in the cast are Jamie King, Frankie Faison, Lochlyn Munro, John Heard, Busy Philipps, Terry Crews, Brittany Daniel, Eddie Velez, Jessica Cauffiel, Maitland Ward and Anne Dudek.
