Moviecut—Undercover Brother

I gave this a 10/10 This is the best comedy I've seen. Probably THE best I've seen since Airplane! (good comedies are far and few between, IMO. One reviewer compared this to I'm Gonna Git You Sucka and I haven't seen that so yep, this IS the best comedy I've seen since Airplane!) It was funny, original, goofy, and a great parody at the goofy cop shows and "blaxplotation" films (is that what they were called?) from the 70's. I was happy I watched this. It's a good movie so don't listen to the uptight users here saying it's racist (most white people I know like mayo, though I am and I don't...guess it's all a matter of taste.) Great movie...I recommend it if you want some good laughs and a good hour and a half to waste on a good movie! 10/10

B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D. is a secret organization battling The Man. While trying to steal bank records, they are interrupted by Robin Hood wannabe Undercover Brother (Eddie Griffin) who is erasing mortgage records. Gen. Warren Boutwell (Billy Dee Williams) is expected to run for President as the favorite to win. However, the Man and boot-licking Mr. Feather (Chris Kattan) use mind control to make him open a fried chicken chain instead. They intend to use him in Operation White Wash. Sistah Girl (Aunjanue Ellis) recruits Undercover Brother into the organization where he meets Conspiracy Brother (Dave Chappelle), The Chief (Chi McBride), Smart Brother (Gary Anthony Williams) and affirmative action intern Lance (Neil Patrick Harris). The Man sends White She Devil (Denise Richards) in to take care of Undercover Brother. It's a non-stop biting satire of 70s blaxploitation films taking on modern racial relationship. It is hilarious. The characters are fun. Comedy is subjective and racial comedy is especially subjective. All I can say is that I found it funny even after a few viewing which is rare. It is just fun.

Undercover Brother Starring: Eddie Griffin, Denise Richards, Dave Chappelle, Aunjanue Ellis, Neil Patrick Harris, Chris Kattan, Chi McBride, Robert Trumbull and Gary Anthony Williams Rated PG-13 for Language, Sexual Humor, Drug Content and Violence Genre: Action/Comedy Star Rating: ****1/2 out of 5 Undercover Brother is this silly Action/Comedy movie that is sort of like Austin Powers but yet different. Undercover Brother (Eddie Griffin) is a secret agent in the Brotherhood an all black secret agent service that levels the playing field against the all white establishment. Partnered with the sassy, stunning Sistah Girl (Aunjanue Ellis), our hero must first undergo the ultimate attitude adjustment and trade in his 'fro and platforms for tennis sweaters and penny loafers. Once the transformation is complete, he's ready to take on the evil perpetrators of Operation Whitewash--Mr Feather (Chris Kattan), Penelope Snow aka White She Devil (Denise Richards) and The Man (Robert Trumbull)! Another hilarious comedian in this movie is Dave Chappelle who also makes this movie funny besides Eddie Griffin. This movie also references a lot of other movies and TV-shows. I wonder if there will ever be a sequel to this movie? That would be hilarious if they did do a sequel! BOTTOM LINE: FLAT OUT FUNNY!

...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.

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)

If I want a good laugh, it's a sure thing when I pop this movie in. I've read some of the other critiques, and I wonder if we've all seen the same movie. For those that complain about it being racist against white people, let he who has never sinned (told a racist joke) cast the first stone. If you can't laugh at yourself, you got no right laughing at anyone or anything. Sure, it pokes fun at whites, but I think equally, or even more, as much at blacks. If you were offended by this movie you are way too sensitive; it pokes fun at everyone. Just because we can laugh at people's differences does not mean that we disrespect them. Ever laughed at something silly your kids did? Diversity and differences are good, they can also be funny as heck. Let's face it, UB is cool! He's got a cool car, cool clothes, cool moves, and some warm ladies. And the sideburns, too much. Here's the litmus test; my wife is the toughest person to make laugh out loud. We had to watch it twice in a row because she was laughing so hard we missed half the movie. My young kids love it! It's their favorite movie to watch on road trips, and I love it because I can crack up listening to it. Rent it; if you're not busting up within the first 5 minutes, you're likely not going to appreciate the rest of it. Take a chill pill and maybe watch Gandi or something. If you're crying like we were, you're in for a real treat!
