The Wilson sisters' ages in the film

The Wilson sisters in the 2004 comedy film White Chicks are Brittany and Tiffany Wilson, played by Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans, respectively. The film follows FBI agents and brothers Kevin and Marcus Copeland who are tasked with protecting the Wilson sisters, two hotel heiresses, from a kidnapping plot. To do this, they go undercover as the sisters, using whiteface and silicone to transform themselves from African-American men to white women.

The exact ages of the Wilson sisters in the film are not explicitly stated. However, given that the actors who portrayed them, Shawn and Marlon Wayans, were in their early thirties during filming, it can be assumed that the Wilson sisters were meant to be around the same age. Shawn Wayans was born on January 19, 1971, making him 33 years old during filming, while Marlon Wayans was born on July 23, 1972 and was 31 years old.

The Wilson sisters are portrayed as young, wealthy socialites and hotel heiresses. They are described as ditzy and are the targets of a high-profile kidnapping ring. The film also mentions that the sisters have three best friends, Lisa Anderson, Karen Googlestein, and Tori Wilson, who have a dynamic of blonde, brunette, and redhead, respectively. Tori Wilson, played by Jessica Cauffiel, is one of the Wilson sisters' rivals and is known for her role in Legally Blonde.

In the film, the real Brittany and Tiffany Wilson arrive at the hotel and discover that they have been impersonated by Kevin and Marcus. This leads to a series of comedic events, including a dance-off against the Vandergeld sisters, Heather and Megan, and a fashion show where the real and impersonated Wilsons both appear, causing mass confusion. The film received negative reviews from critics but has gained a cult following and grossed $113 million worldwide.

Plot points involving the Wilson sisters

The Wilson sisters, Brittany and Tiffany, are hotel heiresses and socialites. They are the target of a high-profile kidnapping plot, but when they refuse to go on a trip to the Hamptons, FBI agents Marcus and Kevin Copeland assume their identities to draw out the kidnappers.

At a nightclub, Kevin and Marcus learn from Karen, one of the sisters' best friends, that Warren is behind the kidnappings. The real Brittany and Tiffany arrive at the hotel and discover the deception. They head to the Hamptons, intent on exposing their impersonators.

At the hotel, Kevin and Marcus meet the sisters' three best friends—Lisa Anderson, Karen Googlestein, and Tori Wilson—and their rivals, the Vandergeld sisters, Heather and Megan. The Wilsons and Vandergelds have a dance-off, which the Wilsons win.

At the Vandergelds' annual charity auction, pro basketball player Latrell Spencer wins a dinner date with Marcus, disguised as Tiffany. Kevin, meanwhile, pretends to be Latrell and takes Denise Porter, a reporter, to Latrell's house. There, he learns that Warren has been embezzling money through his charity.

The real Brittany and Tiffany, along with Marcus' wife, Gina, arrive at the final fashion show, where the Vandergeld sisters try to sabotage their "rivals." The real sisters expose Kevin and Marcus, causing confusion. Warren begins the kidnapping but captures the wrong people, leading to a fight between the brothers and his accomplices.

The film's critical reception

Despite being a box office success, grossing $113 million on a $37 million budget, "White Chicks" received generally negative reviews from critics. The film was nominated for five Golden Raspberry Awards, including Worst Picture. Critics described the film as a scattershot comedy that's silly and obvious, with weak gags and a predictable farce that isn't very funny or original. The film's humour was criticised for relying heavily on race-based jokes, including Black-versus-White stereotyping and slurs.

However, some viewers have shared their enjoyment of the film, considering it a classic and a great time. Some have also argued that the film has aged well and was ahead of its time, suggesting that negative reviews missed the point of the movie.
