Undercover Brother (2002) User Reviews

"Mess with the Fro...you got to go!"

[MetalGeek · 7/10 · 2 August 2010]

I first saw "Undercover Brother" on cable a few years ago and since then it's become one of my favorite comedies of recent years. Though it's basically a "blaxploited" version of the "Austin Powers" concept, "Undercover Brother" is funny enough to be enjoyable on its own merits.

As the film opens, we are filled in on the ongoing battle between the black community and a super secret organization known as "The Man," who works tirelessly to negate African-American influence on the world at large. Fortunately, the black community has its own underground group, known as "The B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D." created to undermine The Man's plans to "Whitewash" the world.

Eddie Griffin stars as Undercover Brother, a funky '70s throwback hero with a huge Afro and platform shoes, who drives around in a pimped-out Caddy performing acts of Kung-Fu derring-do to aid the African American cause. Normally a lone wolf, he is drafted into the B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D. when a black war hero (Billy Dee Williams)'s plans to run for President are derailed by a mind control drug designed by The Man. Now rather than run for the White House, he runs a nationwide Fried Chicken chain instead. Ably assisted by fellow B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D. agents Sistah Girl, Conspiracy Brother, Smart Brother, and "Lance" (Neil Patrick Harris in a hilarious turn as the lone white member of the group -- he got his internship through -- what else? -- affirmative action), Undercover Brother infiltrates The Man's organization to destroy the plot, though he nearly becomes a victim of their most potent weapon, the gorgeous Denise Richards, aka "White She-Devil" (whom "The Man" calls "Black Man's Kryptonite.") along the way.

I have seen a lot of discussion on IMDb about this film being "racist" towards whites, but to be honest, I found "Undercover Brother" to be an equal opportunity offender, with no stereotype about blacks OR whites going un-skewered. The cast is excellent, especially Dave Chapelle as the eternally paranoid agent "Conspiracy Brother," and the always welcome Chi McBride as the long-suffering "Chief" of The B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D. Denise Richards looks amazing in a white leather catsuit (her catfight scene with "Sistah Girl" is worth the price of the DVD all by itself), and oddly enough, even though I usually find Eddie Griffin and Chris Kattan (who plays The Man's flunky, "Mr. Feather") quite irritating in other films, their shtick totally works in "Undercover Brother." Fast, funny, and an utterly silly good time, "Undercover Brother" is -- in the words of its hero -- "Solid."

Austin Powers watch out for Undercover Brother

[DunnDeeDaGreat · 7/10 · 1 June 2002]

Undercover Brother is a smart and sassy comedy similar to Austin Powers. Eddie Griffin stars as Undercover Brother a smooth seceret agent type cat who is out to save the world from the Man. He gets help from the brother hood who have employess with names like Conspiracy Brother & Smart Brother and Sistah Girl. The supporting cast of Chi McBride, Chris Kattan and Denise Richards are all very good but Dave Chapple steals every scene he's in. Malcom D.Lee has made a worthy follow up to The Best Man and Unisversal may have a new franchise on their hands.

Solid!

[Tony-114 · 7/10 · 16 June 2002]

OK, OK, it's basically a black "Austin Powers," but it's not claiming to be more than that, it's reasonably well made, and a good 65% is downright hilarious. But I agree completely with the member who said this is a movie you have to "get." Meaning that, as a 40-year-old A.A. male seeing this in a downtown Washington theatre with a strong presence of folks my age and slightly above (i.e., old enough to remember when all of the black references were taken seriously), then not only did I get it but so did the rest of the audience -- the perfect conditions in which to see this movie. Chances are most (under 25, non-black) folks who don't fall into at least one of these catagories better stick with "Episode II," even on the 3rd go-around. The member who tried to compare the two films is precisely what I mean by not getting it.

I realize it's an odd concept -- a summer movie that ISN'T made to appeal to absolutely everyone -- but, hey. See for yourself. What it is!

Think "Shaft" meets "Get Smart" here. :-)

[Blueghost · 31 October 2004]

There's seems to be a lot of misplaced animosity among, what I presume, are "white" commentators, regarding this film's racial thrust.

The film isn't about belittling or ridiculing "white people."

The film is about tackling prejudices: And specifically those among the U.S.'s so-called "white" and "black" populations, but told from, ostensibly, a "black" perspective, and told with humor.

Reading the negative comments on this film I wonder what movie some of the angry folks were watching. Racism is using one's own physical traits to establish social superiority over another person, or group of people, who don't look like themselves. I saw nothing of any of the African/Black/persons-of-color trying to "reverse role play" by holding themselves in a superior light over so-called "white people."

It simply wasn't there.

Myself, I hate "white guilt" messages in media of all forms. I've had enough social agenda thrust in my face. But that's NOT THE MESSAGE of "Undercover Brother."

What a lot of the "angry-white-commentators" are bothered by is the fact that they believe this film makes ALL so-called "white persons" look like evil-clowns, or condescending jerks. IT DOESN'T. If that's what you see in this film, then maybe you shouldn't be watching movies in the first place.

This film, as stated clear as day by both cast and crew, is an attempt to tackle a social problem with good humor. If you're offended by the jokes in this film, then you've completely missed the point, and are, in fact, the racist idiot that you claim this film to be (I believe psychologist call this phenomenon "projection," where someone refuses to acknowledge their own faults, and casts their own negative qualities on people they dislike).

But to the movie; it was hilarious. Myself, not being black, I couldn't help but laugh of the number of stereotypes this film poked fun at; especially "Conspiracy Brother" (played by Dave Chappell), whose loose form of illogic-thinking and one-liners had me, quite literally, falling out of my chair with laughter. And Neil Patrick Harris (Doogie Howser M.D. fame) playing the "affirmative action" intern nearly bust my gut, particularly near the end of the film. And Chris Kattan as the evil high energy second in command was just brilliant. The entire cast and film was superb. Think "Shaft" meets "Get Smart" here. :-)

What this film needed was to poke more fun at itself in a more direct manner. In a large sense this film pokes fun at itself in terms of its genre, but I think it also needed to show a couple more stereotypes. One of the great "high-profile" stereotypes in white America are black people talking in theaters, or otherwise being loud and obnoxious in places and circumstances "white" Americans thinks inappropriate. It would've been nice to see Undercover Brother cleaning up "his peoples" stereotypes, but doing so with humor before going after "the man."

I think that's a thing the film makers missed, because the other thing I believe "angry white commentators" are bothered by is the fact that there are "black" folks who have their own prejudices, and that this film might seen by that segment of black-America as a green light for ridiculing "whites." IT ISN'T.

One of the other themes the film makers missed is the coupling that that occurs between Denise Richard's character and Eddie Griffin's character. One of the primary drives of racism is the abhorrence of interracial couples. This plot point, even though it's high comedy, seemed implausible for a racially motivated antagonist. Then again, that may've been part of the film makers' strategy to show how ludicrous racial prejudice is, and can be.

The final mistake, and this is more of a minor quibble, but a profound one from a fan of this film, was the downplay of Jim Kelley's role in this film.

Where I grew up Jim Kelley was a hero, and this was amongst a circle of friends who were all white. I think the marketing decision to ace Jim Kelley's role in this film was a mistake. Not a huge one, but a mistake nonetheless.

If you're still of the opinion that this film is racist (assuming you've read this far and haven't burst a blood vessel), then I would suggest you're taking the film too personally, because the film isn't ridiculing so-called "white-people," but prejudice that, in this case, is assumed by a large chunk of white America. If you think otherwise, then you're not viewing this film with a clear mind.

Beyond that, it's one of the funniest films I've ever seen. View it with a relaxed and open mind, and enjoy some of the biggest laughs to ever hit the big screen.

A hit or miss comedy

[Agent10 · 6/10 · 8 June 2002]

Many films in the history of the cinema have been difficult to identify, and this one embodies some of the typical exasperations of critiquing film. Definitely a hit or miss film, you either have to know about the blaxploitation movement of have a very low sense of humor. Since I have both attributes, I give this movie a 6/10. Some of the moments were genuinely funny and entertaining, but overall, I probably wouldn't pay to see this film (I work at a theater, and get to see this stuff for free). Eddie Griffin was surrounded by a rather solid supporting cast which seemed to parody all of the common elements of a typical blaxploitation film. But then again, is this film really anti-white propaganda or some silly parody? It's hard to tell, which means the decision is certainly up to the viewer.

Spoof Took The Safe Way Out

[ccthemovieman-1 · 5/10 · 7 July 2006]

This was a somewhat entertaining spoof of the 1970s "blaxplotation" films. Here we have the big afro-haired hero Eddie Griffith fighting against "The Man." Wow, it seems like only yesterday we used and heard all this '60s and '70s jargon.

The film takes potshots as both white and black stereotypes, leaning more, of course, against the whites because that's a safe road for Liberal filmmakers to take. To the people who make movies, that beats being neutral or impartial, which one would think is the best way to treat people.

There are some funny moments and some funny characters but it's a little too politically-correct and too stupid to see more than once.

ya gotta love it

[awdude · 7/10 · 1 January 2004]

Social commentary, humor, big hair, cool driving with the caddy convertible, and umm umm umm Sistah Girl or White She Devil. And Conspiracy Brother - outstanding!

Okay, I liked it. Now, on the one hand I'd say it does help to have lived through those times, where Mod Squad (tv show) was current. And for sure if you liked the movie Car Wash, you'd like this. But even a generation younger than mine (my teenage kids) thought it was outrageously funny. They don't know about Parliament, Cameo, Bootsy Collins etc. but they recognize what to "give up the funk" from that genre means, even without being told.

Rent the flick and enjoy!

Austin Powers meets black power.

[BA_Harrison · 3/10 · 29 November 2012]

There are those who believe—quite reasonably, in my opinion—that Undercover Brother, an African-American Austin Powers rip-off starring Eddie Griffin, promotes reverse racism by depicting whites as evil, uncool, and dedicated to oppressing the black race via a variety of underhand means. But that isn't what I found most objectionable about the film: it was the lack of decent gags that really bothered me.

Undercover Brother's extremely lazy comedy clearly strives to emulate Mike Meyers' wacky style, but the result is a series of desperately unfunny gags that made me cringe more than laugh; a shame, because the crazy world of a funky soul-brother obsessed with the 70s is surely a potential comedic goldmine, offering more than enough material for a couple of hours of genuinely laugh-out loud silliness.

Or perhaps I just didn't find the film funny because I'm a nerdy and humourless honky with zero taste in almost everything.

Underrated Comedy

[claudio_carvalho · 8/10 · 4 June 2006]

An Afro-American organization, the B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D., is in permanent fight against a white organization, The Man, defending the values of the black people in North America. When the Afro-American candidate Gen. Warren Boutwell (Billy Dee Williams) has a weird behavior in his presidential campaign, the Undercover Brother (Eddie Griffin) is hired to work undercover in the white organization and find what happened with the potential candidate.

I do not recall the last time I laughed so much with a comedy. "Undercover Brother" is one of the most hilarious and silly comedies I have ever seen, and very underrated in IMDb. The story is a big joke with the North American racism, both white and black, with very funny situations "à la Austin Powers". I believe this is the major point of the plot, keeping a neutral position and ridiculing and satirizing racism of Caucasians and Blacks. Dave Chappelle is the funniest, but Chris Kattan, Eddie Griffin, Aunjanue Ellis, Denise Richards and the rest of the cast are also amazingly funny. I did not understand the joke with mayonnaise, but I believe that usually Afro-American people do not like this dressing, or at least there is a clichés about in USA. There are many other jokes related to the North American culture that are impossible to be understood by an overseas viewer, but anyway I loved this movie. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Undercover Brother – Com a Cor e a Coragem" ("Undercover Brother – With the Color and Courage")

Watch this Jive Talking Mo Fo of a movie now

[Kurva100 · 7/10 · 13 July 2002]

This film is bloody good !! has some fine moments of comedy splender. A bit "OTT" at times but well worth it all in all, I wouldnt go as far as to give it 10-10 more like 7-10. How ever after getting the movie from a reliable source in the industry :p .I observed various boom microphones all to willing to be movie stars , and I hope this version was pre final release :) ...Watch this movie its good, want to go watch Starsky and Hutch just to see "Huggy Bear" one mo time later

Undercover Script.

[anaconda-40658 · 5/10 · 23 June 2015]

Undercover Brother (2002): Dir: Malcolm D. Lee / Cast: Eddie Griffin, Chris Kattan, Denise Richards, Dave Chappelle, Neil Patrick Harris: Satire that addresses the idea that many white people wish to act in the stereotypical black fashion while blacks cannot imitate the whites. This is best demonstrated when Eddie Griffin is seen in attire that is far from his usual self. Eddie Griffin plays an agent given the title name and he belongs to the B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D. They are fighting against a white organization known as The Man. He is searching for a brainwashing device that is interrogating black people. Funny concept reduced to Griffin's wardrobe and martial arts violence. Well directed by Malcolm D. Lee with eye catching visual elements obviously inspired by Austin Powers. Griffin seems to be having fun with the role however, it is faulted by his constant self awareness as if in on the jokes. Chris Kattan has fun as a villain struggling against influence. This renders his performance the best in the film. Denise Richards begins well and then is reduced to exploiting her sexuality. Dave Chappelle also appears in a cardboard role. Here was an idea that might have seeded had it a better screenplay but instead it becomes one big stupid charade much like Spy Hard was a few years prior. It addresses racial stereotypes while screenplay should have remained undercover. Score: 5 ½ / 10

It Tears the Roof Off the Mother Sucker!

[EmperorNortonII · 8/10 · 29 June 2002]

I loved "Undercover Brother!" It's the movie "Pootie Tang" should have been! I found it over-the-top, laugh-out-loud funny! Eddie Griffin scores as Undercover Brother, an afrolicious version of Austin Powers. And Chris Kattan is hilarious as Mr. Feather, an evil underling of The Man, devoted to the white man's dominance, but succumbing to hip-hop influence. Other funny performances came from Dave Chappelle as the paranoid Conspiracy Brother, and Neil Patrick Harris as the clueless caucasian intern Lance. Some viewers may complain about the black stereotypes, but you must look at it as black actors and filmmakers laughing at themselves. It's all a "solid" laugh!

Undercover Brother is an Undercover Classic

[dobbin-4 · 7/10 · 15 December 2007]

Yes I know you are probably still gasping over my witting summary but it is true, this movie kicks so much arse it is astounding from its funny jokes and humour to its Cameos by such people like Chris Katten made it extremely enjoyable. The movie is about Undercover Brother who works at the all black super cool spy network. The movie is a must watch for fans of Eddie Griffin and Chris Katten as it keeps you laughing the whole way through. Overall this movie is absolutely great and even to just watch it for the but where he thinks he is white is worth the money alone. I rate this movie 68% and as I say so often thats my 2 cents from LacTheBod.

Fine premise, not-so-good delivery

[mattymatt4ever · 5/10 · 16 June 2002]

I'm pretty sure the point of this film was to make a spoof of the 70's blaxploitation flicks, like Keenan Ivory Wayans did in "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka." Good intention, but the result is all over the map. I've read a lot of comparisons to "Austin Powers," and it is in the same format as the "Austin Powers" movies--just spoofing different genres--with the weird camera angles, zoom-ins and asides to the camera, but the end result of "Undercover Brother" is much less successful. It's not a bad film, I found it watchable, but it could've been a lot funnier and more often than not took very cheap shots.

Now, I'm getting a little bit tired of these gross-out comedies that pollute modern cinema by the second, but I'm not gonna regard any movie that doesn't contain a penis or fart joke in every scene as refreshingly enjoyable. This movie doesn't contain that many crude jokes, but it uses other cheap methods to get laughs. For example, heavy-handed racial stereotypes.

Unless you're extremely sensitive to racial humor, you shouldn't be offended by any of the gags in the film. That's not the problem I had--I didn't find the jokes offensive. It's the way the jokes are handled--they're extremely forced! When Neil Patrick Harris struts into a room full of black people and says, "It looks a Source Award in here," you can just imagine a black man scribbling that line down on a cocktail napkin and giggling to himself. That's my point--most of the dialogue seems more written than said. The average sitcom seems to have the same problem. When you hear a line of dialogue that you can just picture on the script, it's either a bad joke or a mediocre joke. That's why in my Screenwriting class, we learn that if you write a piece of dialogue that you adore so much and simply leaps from the page...delete it! And I hang around with a lot of black people, so some of the stereotypes were just too broad for their own good. Like mayonaisse--Who the hell coined the stereotype that black people don't eat mayonaisse? Every joke must be based on an element of truth. However, it is a common stereotype that blacks love to eat fried chicken and drink malt liquor. So that mock commercial where Billy Dee Williams was advertising his new fried chicken shack, where you get a free 40 oz. with every meal made me chuckle. Besides, some of the racial humor has been done to death, but apparently the writers and director lost touch of that. When Richard Pryor did stand-up acts, comparing white people and black people, that was funny! It's not funny anymore! Another flaw in the humor is its ignorance of time. I forgot which character said it, but when whoever commented on Undercover Brother as "Macy Gray with pork chops" that may be funny now, but who's gonna laugh at that 2 or 3 years from now? That's why pop culture is not a great target for humor. And of course, there are some jokes that are just plain stupid. There's one scene where Neil Patrick gets furious and, for no apparent reason, starts ripping out people's hearts and intestines.

Now, I went to see this movie with a group of friends who were laughing their heads off throughout. And I think if I weren't with them, I would only receive a few chuckles. But the laughter was contagious, and I laughed too. But there were some jokes that made them laugh hysterically that simply made me roll my eyes at them. For example, in one scene Eddie Griffin is beating the crap out of a guy, and they shoot him from the waist up as cheesy sound f/x make him sound like he's snapping the guy's neck with his foot. We then find out that he's crushing a bag of Lay's potato chips. How did they get a kick out of that? Who the hell knows?

Eddie Griffin is a decent comic, and is decent in the lead role, but seeing Dave Chapelle steal the spotlight in the supporting role, I wish Dave could've been the lead. His manic energy would've fared better with audiences. Denise Richards is incredibly hot and has an incredibly hot catfight/shower scene, where she's wearing tight clothing and gets soaking wet. Need I say more? It's nifty how they used her for the marketing campaign--if you see any of the posters, Eddie Griffin is in the background while Denise is in the foreground, flaunting her voluptuous curves. Chris Kattan has yet again proved that he's better off sticking to supporting roles, his first time being "Monkeybone." He has some of the funniest scenes in the movie, and I was so much more glad to see him ham it up in a small role than in a lead role like in "Corky Romano."

I also liked the hip 70's soundtrack. Basically, this film is worthy of a few cheap laughs, but it needs a maximum dose of wit.

My score: 5 (out of 10)

Deliberately stupid and very funny movie

[Hang_All_Drunkdrivers · 31 October 2004]

In the 80s there was a film called "i'm gonna get you sucka" about a black gang led by keenan ivory wayans who bring down a white company run by Mr. Big played by john vernon. It was hilarious and "undercover brother" is the same type of movie and equally funny. Whitey has mind-controlled a black general modeled on colin powell, and turned him away from running for president. Instead they have him shill for a fried chicken restaurant that has mind control drugs in their chicken.!! Whitey wants to turn blacks into slaves and the BROTHERHOOD led by our hero UB, is out to stop them. Among the choice bits of silliness is when smart brother develops a vaccine against the drugs but says they can't use it cause it only works on one person at a time!!! Now how can a vaccine only work on one person at a time? HAHAHA. I give this movie a B+.

Not a mean bone in its body

[aernest · 6/10 · 28 December 2008]

This is an amazingly good-natured send-up of black and white stereotypes as exemplified in blacksploitation movies of the 70's. Great job on costumes for Undercover Brother in that sense. SOLID supporting cast, especially Dave Chappelle, who is absolutely "ass-kicking" as Conspiracy Brother. Chi McBride and Neil Patrick Harris are outstanding as well. The ONLY bad spot for me is Chris Kattan, whose over-the-top hysterics are not in keeping with the Shaft-cool vibe of the rest of the film. He is desperately unfunny. But the rest of the cast pretty much makes up for him. Great soundtrack too.

Racist "comedy"? Very much so.

[jtpaladin · 1/10 · 18 October 2004]

If you ever want to figure out whether a film is racist, the only thing you need to do is turn the roles around and think about whether Jesse "Shakedown artist" Jackson or Al "race-baitor" Sharpton will come and protest the studio that produced the film and the theaters that are showing it.

So does this film pass the "racist test"? Yes, it does and it is a racist film. It's unbelievable how ridiculously insulting this film is to White people. And it doesn't make Black people look too good either.

It's not even funny, it's just a stupid racist film that should never have seen the light of day. Anyone that actually put money out of their pocket to see this film should have an easy time in Small Claims Court to sue and get their money back. This movie was a flop and justifiably so. It was horribly bad. The script was simply lame and the plot was moronic. Everyone associated with this film should be put out of business forever.

Do not waste your time with this trash.

Funny as Hell

[MKS0420 · 7/10 · 1 June 2002]

I just saw this movie and DAMN it is funnnnnnnnnnyyyyyyyy, so much better than "Austin Powers but with soul" I mean it is SOLID gold, I mean I've seen Griffin do some good movies like Foolish & Double Take but this movie takes the cake, great movie and one of the few that the ads don't show the best parts of the movie; SOLID

Ohh my good it stinks!!!

[kp-39 · 1/10 · 12 August 2003]

I cant understand how a majority of the voters can find this movie good!? I usually find this sight to have pretty intelligent people with a good taste but this is really to bad for the sight when a flick this meaningless, with humor that takes the word suck to a new level can get a grade this high!!!

Funny parody

[Jim-512 · 8/10 · 30 May 2004]

I am sick of "white-man demonizing" movies, and usually wont watch them. This movie, however, was a parody on the whole. It pokes fun at both sides, and with successful comedic relief. I don't know how it rates in textbook guidelines for proper film protocol. All I know is that I chuckled all the way through it, which is rare. It was funny and fun. (The mayonnaise slurping sound effect really struck my funny bone for some reason). A lot of thought went in to the details, I think. And they pulled it off without a lot of foul language and sexual content. Good job in my opinion.

The Man (I hate mayo too)

I feel good! Pass the mayo.

[=G= · 7/10 · 16 January 2003]

"Undercover Brother" celebrates black/white racial differences while spoof-slamming stereotypes in its uproarious tale about a fro bro 007/Super Fly stylin' secret agent (Griffin) who must foil the evil "Man's" plan to make planet earth mayo white with mind control drug tainted fried chicken sold by a Colin Powell knock-off ala Col Sanders. "Undercover Brother" gets its funky self down and done in a quick 86 minutes of a-gag-a-second fun. No complaints here. (B)

I thought it was a comedy

[franciscoluis-brandao · 1/10 · 2 February 2004]

Reminds me of "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!" just another stupid movie, that tries to make you laugh. In my opinion Eddie Griffin is a swell actor, but this movie just sucks. I forced myself to watch it until the end waiting for a funny situation that comes naturally in a good comedy, that almost happened at the end, almost. Brings nothing new. If you saw Austin Powers and didn't like it, don't waste your time watching "Undercover Brother".

Good comedies don't come along very often...

[dgeer80 · 8/10 · 9 July 2004]

...Most of the time, the type of comedies we get are teen comedies that pretty much only focus on sexual topics. Not my cup of tea. It's just not funny.

But here, we have a brilliantly funny comedy about a black man mentally stuck in the 70s who's out their protecting racial equality. We also have "The Brotherhood," a secret organization doing the same thing, consisting of mostly blacks. But they stress the message that you just have to be "down" to be in the brotherhood, and you don't have to be black. At first, it seems like only blacks are welcome. But then they realize that working as an equal team is how the job should really be done, regardless of one's race. So this movie has a good message, despite all the racial jokes.

But enough of that. This movie is hilarious! The jokes they make about both black culture and white culture kept me laughing all the way through. You can't take it too seriously. If you do, getting offended will come with the territory for you, and that's not what this movie is about. What goes through my head when the jokes are cracked is, "That's exactly how it is!" And I'm a white guy.

Sure, a lot of the jokes are ones that have been used before. But the WAY they're used in this movie and the creativity behind it all is what made me laugh.

So if you don't get offended easily by culture jokes, and you're in the mood to laugh a lot, this movie is for you.

The Brother is Great!!!

[c_p_c · 7/10 · 17 February 2003]

UNDERCOVER BROTHER is one of those movies that you either really like or don't like at all. The humor is typical but may not be appreciated by everyone.

All the typical 70's/SHAFT like characters are there and the movie delivers. Following the same lines as the AUSTIN POWERS movies, UNDERCONVER BROTHER does justice for itself.

The characters are all pretty funny and the laughs are there from start to finish. Keep a lookout for some great political jokes.

UNDERCOVER BROTHER is definately funny and was a hit on my side. I give UB a 7/10

I really want to know what everyone liked about this movie.

[TakerUCW · 3/10 · 7 June 2002]

I went to see this movie, expecting a dumb, yet funny movie. I noticed that it got very good reviews from critics, which isnt always good for a comedy. Sure, this movie had its moments, most of them were scenes that looks like something from Austin Powers(GOLDMEMBER WILL RULE ALL). But, overall, this movie really had no laugh out loud comedy scenes, it isnt even that racy like everyone said it was. There are about 3 racial jokes in it, only one hits the mark(the mayo). If you want to see a good comedy that will keep you laughing for weeks, save your 7 dollars and look at the Crocodile Hunter trailer. Holy crap that movie is gonna be....pathetic. p.s.-if you dont heed my advice, the only constantly funny character is Conspiracy Brotha(Dave Chapelle), and the white intern is funny at the very end.
