'''''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.

It was nominated for the Razzie Award for Worst Picture, but lost to ''Catwoman''.

Trivia

* In White Chicks, the two agents refer to their commander as "Chief", although the FBI does not use this term. The real person in charge would be a SAC, or Special Agent in Charge.
* When all the 5 girls seem to drive in a BMW E46, they are actually the BMW E46 and E30. In the widescreen angles and inside it is the E30. But when a girl presses a button to change the radio, its an E46, and when the girl in front is filmed it is an E30.
* Even though the Wayans brothers have the last name Copeland, the film never mentions their characters being brothers.
* Baby, the dog that belongs to Brittany Wilson (Maitland Ward), is held by Marcus Copeland (Marlon Wayans), who is disguised as Tiffany Wilson (Anne Dudek). The character of Kevin Copeland (Shawn Wayans) should have carried Baby.
