White Chicks is a 2004 American comedy film directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans and written by Keenen Wayans, Shawn Wayans and Marlon Wayans. The plot begins when two disgraced black FBI agents (Shawn and Marlon Wayans) go undercover in an effort to protect cruise line heiresses Brittany and Tiffany Wilson (parodying Paris and Nicky Hilton) from a kidnapping plot. They dress up as white women.
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 $69,148,997 at the US box office and $113,048,997 worldwide.
