Brothers Shawn and Marlon are on the lookout for money and success, though the two are complete opposites. Shawn is responsible and conservative while Marlon is free-spirited and liberal. They are not immune to sibling rivalry, but frequently enjoy being each other's partner in crime.

Sergio Pereira Screen Rant A big part of its success was the inclusion of John Witherspoon as Pops, the brothers' zany father. May 7, 2019 Full Review Ross Bonaime Paste Magazine Despite the fact that it was very low-concept, The Wayans Bros. worked incredibly well, largely due to the hilarious dynamics between the Wayans, Witherspoon and characters like Anna Maria Horsford's security guard Dee.
