==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- Per WP:FILMPLOT, please keep the word count reasonable. Plot summaries for films should be 400-700 words. 704 in May 2023--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In New York City, [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agent brothers Marcus Anthony II and Kevin Copeland inadvertently ruin a [[drug]] bust. Their boss, Chief Elliott Gordon, offers them a reprieve if they safely escort sisters Brittany and Tiffany Wilson -  the rich, shallow [[socialite]] daughters of Wilson Cruiseliners CEO Andrew Wilson, whom the police suspect will become the next victims in a string of high-profile kidnappings - to a weekend-long fashion event in [[the Hamptons]]. On the drive, the sisters&amp;#039; dog Baby leaps out of the car window, causing Kevin to lose control of the car. The sisters suffer minor facial cuts, but refuse to be seen with them. Kevin sends them into hiding and has a makeup expert friend create [[prosthetic]] disguises so he and Marcus can replace them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kevin as Brittany and Marcus as Tiffany meet the sisters&amp;#039; three best friends – Lisa Anderson, Karen Googlestein, and Tori Wilson – and their rivals, Heather and Megan Vandergeld. Unbeknownst to Kevin and Marcus, they are being watched by Gordon, along with colleagues Vincent Gomez and Jake Harper, who are undercover posing as hotel staff. At the hotel, pro football player Latrell Spencer is attracted to Marcus/Tiffany, and Kevin sets his sights on &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[New York One News]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; reporter Denise Porter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the Vandergelds&amp;#039; annual charity auction, Latrell wins a dinner date at a restaurant with Marcus/Tiffany. While Latrell takes Marcus/Tiffany to a restaurant, Kevin, believing Denise likes rich men, pretends to be Latrell and takes Latrell&amp;#039;s car to drive Denise to Latrell&amp;#039;s house. There, he hears about criminal Ted Burton turning the tables on Heather and Megan&amp;#039;s father, Warren. With Kevin becoming romantically involved with Denise and Marcus/Tiffany unsuccessfully trying to reject Latrell, their combined antics put them under Gomez and Harper&amp;#039;s suspicion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At a nightclub, after winning a [[dance-off]] against the Vandergelds, Kevin and Marcus learn from a drunken Karen that Warren is penniless and has been taking loans from her father. The brothers conclude that Warren is the mastermind behind the kidnappings. The next day, the real Brittany and Tiffany arrive at the hotel and discover they are being impersonated. They arrive in the Hamptons intent on exposing their &amp;quot;clones&amp;quot;, as does Marcus&amp;#039; wife Gina, believing he is cheating on her. Realizing the Wilsons are being impersonated by men, Gomez and Harper aim to expose them, but accidentally strip down the real Brittany and Tiffany in front of Gordon. After Gomez and Harper are suspended, a furious Gordon fires Kevin and Marcus. Having lost both his job and possibly Gina, Marcus scolds Kevin for always dragging him into trouble.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, Kevin and Marcus discover that Warren had embezzled money through his charity. Marcus convinces Kevin to not tell Gordon, to redeem themselves with Gomez and Harper&amp;#039;s help. Again posing as the Wilsons, they are chosen for the final fashion show. The Vandergelds are furious that the Wilsons have replaced them on the catwalk, but the real Brittany and Tiffany also perform in the event. During the show, the Vandergeld sisters try to sabotage their &amp;quot;rivals&amp;quot;, but end up being humiliated by Karen, Lisa, and Tori.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The real Brittany and Tiffany appear and expose Kevin and Marcus, causing mass confusion. Warren begins the kidnapping, but incorrectly captures Marcus/Tiffany and Brittany. This begins a fight between the brothers and Heath and Russ, accomplices in the kidnappings. Warren soon captures the real sisters and explains his financial troubles to his wife and daughters, unaware that his confession is being filmed. In the ensuing scuffle, Kevin is nearly shot trying to protect Denise, Latrell is shot trying to protect Marcus/Tiffany, and Kevin shoots Warren in the shoulder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Marcus and Kevin capture Warren, while Gomez and Harper apprehend Heath and Russ. Afterward, their true identities are revealed. Latrell is dismayed that Marcus is not white, seemingly not bothered that he is a man. Warren, Heath, and Russ are arrested, while Gordon reinstates the brothers, Gomez, and Harper. Marcus reconciles with Gina, Kevin and Denise begin a relationship, and Latrell wins over the real Brittany and Tiffany. Tori, Lisa, and Karen admit they liked Brittany and Tiffany a lot more when Marcus and Kevin were them, and the five agree to remain friends and go shopping together.&lt;br /&gt;

In his negative review, [[Dave Kehr]] of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[New York Times]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; stated that &amp;quot;Most movies require some suspension of disbelief.
