White Chicks

Two brothers working as FBI agents, Marcus and Kevin Copeland, find themselves near the bottom of the bureau's pecking order after a botched undercover operation. When wealthy sisters Brittany and Tiffany Wilson become the targets of a kidnapping plot, the high-profile assignment goes to the brothers' rivals, leaving Marcus and Kevin with the thankless task of escorting the young women from a New York airport to their hotel in the Hamptons. A minor mishap leaves the sisters unwilling to appear at a major social event, and with their careers on the line, the brothers decide to impersonate the two women themselves, disguising themselves to move through the world of lavish parties and high society while trying to identify whoever is behind the threat.

Keenen Ivory Wayans directed and co-wrote the film with Marlon and Shawn Wayans, who also produced and star as the two brothers.
