i watched it just because it was on TV & i had nothing to do assuming that i wouldn't enjoy it, and surprisingly i LOVED IT! It is Hilarious! Wouldn't suggest it for easily offended people but if u enjoy offensive humor and u know it is just humor then u will enjoy it! It is silly, funny, the editing is bad which makes it even funnier, the cast are good and energetic.

This movie uses the great imagery of the seventies black style along with amazing material to keep you laughing until you cry. The lines are peppered with in your face truths, great music, big Afros and a heavy dose of Chappelle magic. Our family purchased the DVD several seasons ago and we watch it at least 4 or 5 times a year. What's with the 5.7 stars? First of all, it should be a 10. What were they thinking? Our hope is that Dave is inspired by some white folks near Savannah Ga who think he is the greatest and comes back with Undercover Brother II! For now, we will keep watching the reruns and Undercover Brother DVD's until the next work arrives. We are dedicated.You have buy the film and see for yourself!

I watched this movie as a kid, 9 years old. I'm a white, dutch guy so I back then, I had no idea what I was watching. I laughed a lot at the standard comedy jokes and it became a piece of nostalgia to me.For a very long time I didn't know what the movie was called. But my solid memory left me with the main character's name "Undercover Brother", which made tracking the movie at the age of 17 an easy task.I watched it again and yeah, it's pretty funny. It's Austin Powers like; witty comedy, sometimes just random but always well presented. It doesn't really anything new to the concept of comedy and there's nothing to say about the plot, because it's a satire of the cliché plot (as is Austin Powers), so I won't talk about that. Saves me the trouble of talking around spoilers.What I thought was just amazing is the cast and the feeling behind this movie. No, not any of the obvious characters, I'm talking James Brown, but mainly, Snoop Dogg at the end. That's right, Snoop Dogg rapped the end theme of the song.To me, this really goes to show how much connectivity black people have. There may much diversity among them, but for some reason, they all share something us whiteys just don't understand, and probably intimidates the hell out of some of us.What can I say. They got soul and so does this comedy.

This movie is well worth the rental(I bought it). Comedy, Action and beautiful acting are some of the reasons... If you are a fan of James Bond and the Mission Impossible genre...and can laugh....This movie is somewhat at the same level as Austin Powers. The movies theme has an ethnic twist which I was very skeptical about at first. But I was soon won over by the writing. Lots of social commentary poking fun at the political correctness and a reverse-racial statements. Chris Kattan is solid in his portrayal of the evil guy who is forced to listen to his conscience. If you like him this is a must see. Heather Graham in leather is another reason....but maybe not worthy of comment compared to the shower scene... Enjoy this fun well written romp.
