“White
Chicks” (2004) is a comedy about two FBI agents on the brink of losing their jobs.
After a faulty bust of ice cream vendors, Marcus and Kevin Copeland (Shawn and Marlon
Wayans) do the unthinkable: they become white girls and rule the Hamptons. When
the Vandergelds, a rich family, become jealous of the attention that the
Copeland brothers are getting, they seek to ruin their newfound reputation
through sabotage. Keenen Ivory Wayans directs his latest hit since Scary Movie and
Scary Movie 2 in this stereotyping, racist comedy. A shoddy production with
some funny jokes, “White Chicks” was a mediocre use of 3 hours.
Will
the Wayans family ever leave the spotlight of Hollywood? Starring in the early
nineties TV show In Living Color, the
Wayans have earned their way to multigenerational success in the film and
television industry. The 2004 film “White Chicks” is the product of the
family’s history of comedy and acting experience. Director Keenen Ivory Wayans
casts two of his brothers, Shawn and Marlon Wayans, as his lead actors and sets
the tone that this is his family’s movie.
