Four men claim the Wayans brothers stole the idea behind the movie "White Chicks" from them.
Mario Pittore and brothers Jason, Jon and James Coppola sued last week in federal court, seeking $15 million in damages.
"We feel not only does it rip us off, but it's not even as good" as the Pittore-Coppola script, said Pittore, 30.
"White Chicks" stars the Wayans as black FBI agents who pose as young white hotel heiresses. The movie has grossed $37.3 million since it opened June 23.

The mens' script, titled "Johnny Bronx," is about a bumbling black FBI agent who impersonates a white man to infiltrate the mob.
