White Chicks (2004)

Daft comedy about two black policemen who pose as white women. Having screwed up in their normal work, they volunteer to act as bodyguards to two wealthy young woman to blend in. The women are the Wilson sisters, probably based on Nikki and Paris Hilton.

When they screw that job up as well, the girls get slight injuries, and the men persuade them to lie low for the weekend. They get the police department to provide prosthetic disguise for them, and they go to the society partying weekend. Obviously they don't know the people they are supposed to know, and their behaviour is gross in a male way, as compared to the rich bitch style of grossness.

There's no attempt to explore feminine behaviour, and there's not much attempt to provide a good script, so that the whole thing misfired.

The two actors playing the men, Shawn and Marlon Wayans, are quite small, but it is interesting to see how oversized they are when they are among women.
