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

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...

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.

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.
