Plot

The plot begins when two FBI agents, Kevin and Marcus Copeland (Shawn and Marlon Wayans), are assigned the duty of protecting cruise line heiresses Brittany and Tiffany Wilson (parodying Paris and Nicky Hilton) from a kidnapping plot. Their supervisor, Elliott Gordon (Frankie Faison) has given them this duty as a last resort to being fired from the agency given their recent reputation. When the Wilson sisters get a facial scar in a car accident, they refuse to leave the hotel due to their appearance. In order to save their job, the Copeland brothers disguise themselves as white women in the form of Wilson sister look-alikes.

Reception

The film received mostly poor critical reviews, with film critic Richard Roeper putting the film at #1 on his list of the worst films of 2004 amongst claims of unconvincing prosthetics, and was nominated for five Golden Raspberry Awards, including "Worst Picture". However, the film was successful theatrically. It grossed $70,831,760 at the U.S. box office and $113,048,997 worldwide.
