The bratty, blond socialites Shawn and Marlon Wayans impersonate in "White Chicks" are vain, shallow, ignorant, addicted to designer labels, rude to people of color, and possibly soulless. But white? Not so much.
The Wayanses' brown skin and long athletic frames are hidden beneath elaborate prosthetic suits and flaxen wigs that make them look, alternately, like life-size Barbie dolls and the ceramic Michael Jackson of that famous Jeff Koons sculpture: subhumanly artificial. Their lack of physical resemblance to actual spoiled dingbats goes unnoticed by everybody in this patchy, inept satire.
