After messing up a major drug bust in New York City, two African American FBI agents (who are also brothers), Marcus and Kevin Copeland (Shawn and Marlon Wayans), try to impress their boss by volunteering to protect the Wilton Sisters, Tiffany (Dudek) and Brittany (Ward), the heiresses of a hotel empire, from a kidnapping scheme during a short trip from JFK to the Hamptons. Deciding to change the strategy drastically, the brothers use themselves as bait, wearing lots of pale makeup and dresses to pass as the Wilton sisters, while the real sisters are hidden away, safe from harm. Now, the agents just have to convince the world (including their coworkers who are now protecting *them* and the Wiltons' friends and family) that they're actually young, rich, white heiresses.
or Blazing Saddles...
Or drunk white female newspaper columnists.
In Living Color was one of the funniest shows that ever graced the tube. Do you remember Jim Carrey as Fire Commissioner Bill?
Is that them? Well sheeee it, they don't look bad as white chicks. They better be careful where they go out lookin' like that.
My kids want to see it, but I still call it a waste of good electricity....
yes, I find it distasteful. I found Soul Man boring. I don't plan on seeing white chicks. I just find them gross. The previews I find disgusting.
LOL Most anything kids would want to see probably would be. At least these guys aren't pitching for the death of civilization as we know it. ;^O
I never got the point of blackface back then. I was watching a movie about Bojangles and in order for him to perform in front of white people HE had to wear black face.
I can totally see your side of this. On the other hand, this movie looks funny. It doesn't offend me, a white female. They did a brilliant job with the makeup and the Wayans are quite talented. I would like to see this. I think this schism of mine is defined as "cognitive dissonance".
Saved on "My Pictures." Thanks.
I agree. They are pretty talented and made fun of everyone across the board.
