Synopsis: When a kidnapping threat is held over two wealthy heiresses in the Hamptons, inept FBI agents Kevin (Marlon Wayans) and Marcus Copeland (Shawn Wayans), try to help out by disguising themselves as... When a kidnapping threat is held over two wealthy heiresses in the Hamptons, inept FBI agents Kevin (Marlon Wayans) and Marcus Copeland (Shawn Wayans), try to help out by disguising themselves as WHITE CHICKS in this wacky screwball comedy. With a little help from the FBI's prosthetics department, the agents don blonde wigs, blue contact lenses, and pale body paint to transform themselves into two Hamptons-bound sisters looking to live it up for the weekend. Miraculously the agents find themselves a surprise hit with the Hamptons set, providing plenty of laughs and quizzical looks as they frequently slip out of character. The lewd jokes come thick and fast, providing plenty of opportunities for the Wayans brothers to flex their comedic muscles. They poke gentle fun at a number of targets, mostly along gender and race lines, but also at spoiled teenage girls, and botox-riddled fashionistas. Scenarios are engineered to heighten the awkwardness of the disguises, including a dance competition, shopping sprees, and a fashion show. Director Keenen Ivory Wayans (SCARY MOVIE) manipulates his characters' flimsy attempts to pass themselves off as white women to provide plenty of gross-out, body-related humor, but also wraps the film up with a few salient lessons in life for the bumbling detectives.

The worst part is those fake blue contact lenses, making their eyes chilling, lifeless orbs. More than anything, it's those dead eyes that make White Chicks so horrible.

Buried beneath prosthetic makeup, the Wayans brothers look like plastic surgery addicts or robot refugees from 'Heartbeeps.' The result is more creepy than funny.

Given the core concept, two hours and a pencil, any person off the street would come up with all the same jokes...and then some. A clear case of "who cares?" script writing.

I held out hope that one of the stars from Alien vs. Predator might wander onto the set and devour all of these painfully unfunny people. Now that's comedy!

... may not exactly knock your Jimmy Choos off, but Shawn and Marlon Wayans are so mesmerizing in their Juicy Couture you'll practically forget all about the lame storyline.

Let's forget about the clunky plot and shallow characters. Let's forget about the racist undertones of the film. Bottom line, the white chicks scare me. Seriously. They're freaky looking. They are the stuff of nightmares.

The only real laugh to be had at a screening of White Chicks is during the trailer for the goofy upcoming film Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle.

You look at the trailer for White Chicks and you think, 'It can't possibly be that bad. If it's that bad, our rating scale will have to include negative numbers.'

As with every other genre, there's a right way and a wrong way to handle dude-lawman comedies. Chicks does it right a lot of the time.

The Wayans brothers are gifted actors-filmmakers, so why is it that they continually make lazy, unchallenging movies?

An army of writers reheat gender-bending slapstick with middling results.

Looks aren't evernything. But n a movie about appearances, they matter a great deal.

The Wayans brothers' easy charisma and charming good nature make up for a lot of shortcomings.

109 minutes and not one good punchline. That’s one joke less than in Schindler’s List. How is this humanly possible?
