Keenen Ivory Wayans is definitely not Billy Wilder and White Chicks is certainly not Some Like it Hot. Wayans's humor pendulates between the mediocrely physical to the cheesy and purely fecal, which brings down the film incredibly. Admittedly, the very premise, two scruffy African-American cops as two pampered white rich women, is very bizarre, but it surprisingly worked in places. The brightest (meaning without racist overtones) spot was Terry Crews and his utterly insane character, and then the decent dance-battle in the club.
