Undercover Brother (2002)

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Sistah Girl is sexy low-key and sweet! Aunjanue Eliis is perfect as Sistah Girl. I'm not familiar with Aunjanue outside of this movie. I just don't remember her from Men of Honor which I seen many years ago. I kind of remember her from Ray which I seen many years ago. She's nice. She's really good in this comedy. She's funny, beautiful. She was also in The Help. I definitely want to see her in more movies now that I know who she is. Sistah Girl is where it's at!Conspiracy Brother is funny loud and paranoid. Dave Chappelle is perfect as Conspiracy Brother. Dave Chappelle is as funny as anybody. His comedies are some of my favorites like Blue Streak, Half Baked, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, and this. Dave specializes in stoner comedies. Conspiracy Brother is the funniest character outside of Undercover Brother by far. "So I said look, you better open the bank and give me my money. It's my money. I don't care who's bank it is. I know who's money's in it. You know I'm keeping it real. That's all I'm saying."White She Devil is sexual naughty and good, no bad, no good, yes definitely good. Denise Richards is perfect as White She Devil. Anyone out there who loves Denise Richards but doesn't know about Wild Things, where have you been all my life? I also love her in The World Is Not Enough and Starship Troopers. The catfight with White She Devil and Sistah Girl which somehow leads to both of them posing together in the shower is hilarious and super awesome. Mostly super awesome, but also hilarious.Mr. Feather is evil obnoxious and squeamish. Chris Kattan is perfect as Mr. Feather. Kattan's gifted at physical comedy. He's good in everything I see him in. I love Night at the Roxbury.The Chief is strong stoic and wise. Chi McBride is perfect as The Chief. Danny Glover would have been nice. Chi is a presence he can act. I like him in Gone in 60 Seconds.Smart Brother is smart nerdy and helpful. Gary Anthony Williams is perfect as Smart Brother. I love him from Malcom in the Middle.Lance is impassioned white and definitely not a sissy. Neil Patrick Harris is perfect as Lance. Neil is really funny. How I Met Your Mother and in the Harold and Kumars. I like him. He's in Gone Girl but he's really not all that funny in that.Gen. Warren Boutwell is greasy greedy and disheartening. Billy Dee Williams is perfect as Gen. Warren Boutwell. I love Billy Willy. I can't think of anything I've seen him in. Nothing comes to mind. Just The Empire Strikes Back! The best movie of all-time!Undercover Brother is funky heroic and solid. Eddie Griffin is perfect as Undercover Brother. Eddie's got a couple good comedies under his belt with Deuce Bigalow and this. Eddie is all-time legendary for Undercover Brother though. Undercover Brother is the best and Undercover Brother is hilarious and Undercover Brother is classic. "Brother, brother, we all love your solo enthusiasm but this is about working together. Now I've been a solo star shooting at shots that I thought would win the game, but in working with y'all i've come to realize that only a team wins a championship.""People all over the world. Join hands. Start a love train, love train."

I'm quoting a reviewer here on IMDb that said "is this film really anti-white propaganda or some silly parody?"Wow! I'm shocked that's even a question in anyone's mind. If anyone thinks this film is "anti-white propaganda" or "anti white" in any way knows absolutely NOTHING about black people. I could see coming away with that perception from a movie like Django, which is more of an example of black fantasy rage that 99% of black people would never act out in real life. But Undercover Brother is nothing but fun! The movie is based on an online comic strip meant for cubicle workers to goof off online at work. Similar to Lazy Larry. The online comic was not very funny but if you're at work and bored, it was cute little chuckle and good diversion. Now imagine someone took Lazy Larry and fleshed out a script this funny and you'd realize how brilliant this adaptation is of the online comic.If anything, the movie pokes fun at Black people while white people (and our difficult history with them) is barely a backdrop. Example: when Undercover Brother realizes that all the conspiracies that have circulated among the black community for decades are "true" but then he says "and OJ DIDN'T do it!" And the other agents all turn their heads and look uncomfortable because that's one rumor they can't confirm. That is a joke poking at all the conspiracies wcirculating in our community (some of which I personally believe too, but it doesn't change that is funny and is poking fun at black people. This movie is HILARIOUS! So to answer my fellow member's question - this is mainly a parody of 1970's blaxploitation movies as we see Undercover Brother watching a movie and obviously hero worshiping Jim Kelly, a black action star of the era.

Had me laugh out loud! I didn't understand the mayonnaise thing but the scene('s sound) was hilarious.It's a delight to see the characters and their actors taking part in a story about racial/cultural issues - without the issues. All are smooth and stylish, energetic and confident. The puns are delivered lighthearted and at a perfect pace (thanks editor!). The only part where there is a danger of awkwardness is the cheesy scene at the end, on the beach, but this scene too contains the exact right amount of relaxed self humor. A perfect sense of how to put it, by the whole cast and the director. O and the suits are spectacular...

My family and I caught this movie on TV and could not stop laughing. There are some that might say that it is insulting to blacks but there is nothing wrong in being able to laugh at yourself once in a while and accept that we do have our shortcomings along with EVERYBODY ELSE. Basically Undercover Brother is about a brother stuck in a time warp (the Seventies) and helps the black community he then gets recruited into the B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D and the story goes from there. The jokes centre around the many aspects of black life and attitudes but I believe it is done with good humour in mind however I found the funniest scene to be fight scene between the two ladies and I also found funny is the way Denise Richard's character pronounced the black girls name wrong when they were in the clothes shop. What I enjoyed is unlike most comedies Undercover Brother remained a comedy from start to finish, there are too many comedies that start of funny and then go serious films like, Big, Kindergarten Cop, Mrs Doubtfire to name a few. Just when you thought undercover brother would go the same way it did not. All in all I enjoyed this movie and I put my money where my mouth is by buying the movie on DVD. All the kids have borrowed it from me to watch it again and they are still laughing. A good movie.
