GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Kingslaay Undercover Brother is a great film and the comedy is effortless. The cast give very good performances and viewers are treated to a simple and humorous plot. In every essence this is a 'feel good' movie, it is not made to be intellectually complex or thought provoking. Nor is there any expectation to claim an Oscar. Feel good movies make you feel light-hearted and very satisfied that you watched it, these are the kind of movies you love to watch and keep a copy to see it again. It cannot be compared to Schinder's list which is Oscar worthy but not something you feel like seeing again. The plot is simple and the villains are hilarious in order to convey the light-hearted nature of what would be a serious issue in any other context. Talented and intelligent writers make the material tale a big leap. Eddie Griffin is fantastic and does a great job as the lead actor and Denise Richards is stunning. This is a very strong feel good film that will both entertain and make you feel good. 8.5/10
BA_Harrison 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.
aernest 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.
dobbin-4 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.
