Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting/vehicle crash/bodily functions/drugs/animal biting/romantic intent with an animal/medical/references to racism, sexism, sexual assault implications and Russia/those from the rainbow community may or may not find this film offensive.

In one way or another this is a family project: briefly; we have these two FBI Agents; Agent Kevin Copeland/other characters and Agent Marcus Anthony Copeland [Shawn & Marlon Wayans:] these two brothers/agents go undercover to hopefully solve this case as Brittany Wilson and/or Tiffany Wilson whilst the real versions of these people stay in his hotel getting there are very minor yet catastrophic in their minds injuries repaired and on a quick side note; Keenen Ivory Wayans: Writer story by and screenplay by/Producer/Director Shawn Wayans Writer story by and screenplay by/Producer Marlon Wayans Writer story by and screenplay by/Producer yes just to cover my back I am not being racist here I have looked into it they are all family.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 109 minutes film is good; as it sticks to its outlay and just gets on with moving the film at a good pace.

Comedy, art and action; obviously we have these two brothers in different disguises, a young mother back and forth comedy skit or much later a dance off, which from an artistic perspective is smoothly executed, but there is a few comedy references that have not aged that well at all such as singing along to a song that uses the African-American terminology where without being racist, but making my point yes I am fully aware that 99.9% of the time the Wayans brothers can use this expression, but not when they are under cover as a couple of caucasian women and I will make reference to the other unpleasant comedy reference later on in this content, even though the other unpleasant comedy reference has a let's just say suitable outcome.

Character developments and performances; they are good versions of what they are meant to be, to be fair when or if you choose to see this film, this is one of those occasions where, I can't criticise them too much based on they are designed that way as in our lead partnership of FBI Agent Kevin Copeland/Brittany Wilson/other characters: Shawn Wayans and/or FBI Agent Marcus Anthony Copeland/Tiffany Wilson/other characters: Marlon Wayans. Meaning if they don't start off where they start off from how are they meant to learn and consequently evolve as individuals into better people. So as you can see/read they use the outlay of their partnership character developments individually speaking of course to have this richer for the experience narrative naturally available to them throughout this film. The cast of performers are all good as well, but it is down to the brothers to be the driving force behind this title, because without them, this film would have been unspeakably worse by no stretch of the imagination

This film receives: 7/10, this film is good; yes it has some outdated and unacceptable bits in it and before I hear "But this film is roughly 20 years old." Even with that being the case talking about and actively participating in date sexual assault drug drink spiking even back then was still unacceptable. But putting that to one side as I have chosen in this content in one where another it shows how women are even extremely harsh on themselves and each other or how is some cases they tried to be noticed by the opposite sex, but the opposite sex having clearly no idea of how much they have to go through to do these things, so there is clearly some good substance here, you just may have to look past the not so good segments or elements of this film to find them. This film has some awards to its name and I may as well tell you from the very beginning; that most of them are negative. Positives first; 3 Winners; that includes BET Comedy Awards 2004 BET Comedy Awards  Outstanding Directing for a Box Office Movie Keenen Ivory Wayans and from the same award ceremony/event Outstanding Writing for a Box Office Movie Keenen Ivory Wayans Shawn Wayans Marlon Wayans Andrew McElfresh Michael Anthony Snowden Xavier Cook. 13 Nominees continuing from the same award ceremony/event Outstanding Box Office Movie and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Box Office Movie Marlon Wayans. Negative Winner: The Stinkers Bad Movie Awards Stinker Award Most Painfully Unfunny Comedy and now onto the Nominees from the same award ceremony/event  Worst Sense of Direction (Stop them before they direct again!)
