Plot: Undercover Brother began life as an animated series on the Internet. The satirical cartoon was created by novelist and screenwriter John Ridley (Three Kings) for the website {/urbanentertainment.com}. Ridley wrote the screenplay with Michael McCullers, co-writer of the Austin Powers sequels, and it was directed by Malcolm D. Lee (Spike Lee's cousin, and the writer/director of The Best Man). The film stars Eddie Griffin (of TV's Malcolm and Eddie) as Undercover Brother, he of the gold Cadillac convertible and huge Afro, who uses gadgets and disguises to steal from the rich and give to the poor. His activities are discovered by the B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D., a spy organization devoted to subverting The Man (Robert Trumbull) and his henchman, Mr. Feather (Chris Kattan), who use their power over the media to demean black people and destroy racial unity. The spy organization is run by The Chief (Chi McBride), who is constantly screaming at his subordinates. They include Sistah Girl (Aunjanue Ellis), a beautiful martial artist, Conspiracy Brother (Dave Chappelle), who sees white supremacist plots everywhere, and Smart Brother (Gary Anthony Williams, who provided the voice of Undercover Brother in the cartoon), who supplies the operatives with gadgets and information. When a popular black political figure, General Boutwell (Billy Dee Williams), calls a press conference, presumably to announce his presidential candidacy, and instead announces that he's opening a chain of fried chicken restaurants, the B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D. rightly suspects foul play, and recruits Undercover Brother to look into it. He goes undercover as an uptight buppie to work for The Man, but his cover is soon blown, and the seductive White She Devil (Denise Richards) is sent in to use her feminine wiles to destroy Undercover Brother. ~ Josh Ralske, All Movie Guide

Stop being so serious...it's a comedy!
Added 5/20/2008
Funny...funny...funny. Guaranteed to stop a spousal spat, or cheer you up when you're down. Nice twists and turns. I'm an avid movie watcher and I didn't see every plot twist ahead of time. It's nice seeing people of color in big budget motion pictures with great promotions teams behind them. The pomeranian is priceless! Stop being so critical and kick back, relax, and enjoy. It's even funnier after a couple of daiquiris :) Buy it! Don't bootleg it!!

Utter waste of time
Added 4/1/2008
This was the second worst movie I saw in 2001. Orlando Jones & Eddie Griffin are wasted in a movie that was made for teenagers as all the jokes are safe black humor. If the film had more action and had been rated R maybe it would have been okay but it was just horrible. George Gailo who had input on Bad Boys and Midnight Run should be ashamed of himself for this stinker.

Funny bodies, sexy viewing
Added 9/10/2009
Funny parody on parody, it is a sexy comedy of kind Afro-American folks had taken over a gang of heartless white co-citizens.

Nice bodies, funny tricks, passing time easy.

Solid!

It is good to see people laugh at themselves and others, and not take themselves too seriously.

undercover brother review cover
Added 3/25/2009
The cover above is the correct cover for this movie. Richaerson at the time this movie was made had more credentials than the other actors. However, the African American Actress should not be on the back of the package as in the case of my purchase. The original package should not be changed.

Thank you
