Not completely horrid, but not particularly good either. |
The Wayans family is at it once again. This time the movie is part spoof and part original story.
Marcus and Kevin Copeland (Shawn and Marlon Wayans) are FBI agents who also happen to be brothers. They have a little bit of a problem with a major drug bust they’ve been assigned to. They need to get back in good graces with their boss so they decide to volunteer to protect the Wilton (could they mean “Hilton”?) sisters, Tiffany (Anne Dudek) and Brittany (Maitland Ward). The sisters are the heirs to a hotel empire and could end up as the victims of a kidnapping scheme.
Deciding that just protecting the sisters won’t be enough to impress the powers that be, Marcus and Kevin decide to disguise themselves as Tiffany and Brittany. But it won’t be easy passing themselves off as the heiresses, especially because they are black and the girls are white. As you can imagine, hilarity and hijinks break out.
The Wayans have proven themselves to be major players in Hollywood, both on the big screen and on TV. Attaching the Wayans name to a project seems to almost guarantee success and bring in the crowds. This one should prove no exception. (Marty Doskins/BOP)
