Quotes:

Kevin Copeland: [as Brittney Wilson] Oh, my god! Look who's here. It's that beautiful...
Section Chief Elliott Gordon: Save it!
[walks in the room]
Section Chief Elliott Gordon: Because of you, I had to suspend two of my best agents!
Kevin Copeland: But Chief, I can explain.
Section Chief Elliott Gordon: I don't wanna hear it! You're just lucky we caught Burton before he could strike.
Kevin Copeland: But Burton is not our guy!
Section Chief Elliott Gordon: Let me guess: Woman's intuition? You're both fired. Turn in your guns and your badges. This operation is over!
Kevin Copeland: Come on, Chief! You can't fire us.
Section Chief Elliott Gordon: I just did.

It's Tricky

Easy White Chocolate...

I would have never seen this movie if it wasn't for younger siblings. It's the kind of movie you don't think you will ever see and I saw it and I laughed again and again.

I didn't find it racist because I found the comedy mostly geared toward differences between men and women and the most hilarious aspects of the film come from the Wayan's brothers dressing up as the girls and the tribulations they have.

Personally I can understand how anyone over the age of twenty might not find it as funny. It's a comedy mostly geared toward younger people in the way of Night at the Roxbury or even Clueless. My advice would be to see it but don't expect too much...maybe you'll like it.
