A Dysfunctional Family of Five Reviews...White Chicks!

Keenan Ivory Wayans directs brothers Shawn and Marlon, who play FBI agents posing as white society girls for a reason that six credited screenwriters still can't get us to buy into - and it doesn't even seem like they care whether we do.

Dad: That's exactly why I'll never be a transvestite. I can't even match my socks to my belt without two cups of coffee and a wicked good slap in the face.

Mom: And that's exactly what I hate about summer. You spend most of it barefoot, and I'm forced to look at that gnarly, yellow-stained toenail of yours. Cut that thing, would ya?!

Sis: Omigod! Could any of my girlfriends be an undercover black man? Becky Butler always said there was a narc in the school someplace. And she never took showers after gym class! Then again, I never take showers after gym class. Could I be one? Could I? COULD I???

Bro: Maybe I should go back to trying on Mom's clothes again. If it's that easy to disguise yourself as a girl, I could finally take that modern dance class at the Y, and no one would know it was me! BWAHAHAHAHA!

Baby: The older I get, the more I'll be able to fight back when my parents want to drag me along to see a lame movie. I wouldn't fight too hard against this one - I'd probably pick my battles and save the fight for something like Garfield. But the sad truth is, I got more laughs out of a half-hour of Chappelle's Show on Comedy Central than I did from this thrice-as-long movie.

Verdict: If you like the Wayans' past efforts, then go ahead and wait for the rental. If you absolutely have to see a comedy on the big screen this week, we'd recommend DodgeBall first.
