pimy95 Totally enjoyed this film. Put together at a time of promoting racial harmony, has gags and jokes performed by African American actors..who can do it..to perfection. If you are offended by this film, you need to get a life. It is awesome. Only problem with this film was that there wasn't a sequel. Eddy was hilarious, Dave chapel was fantastic, Aunjanue Ellis and Denise Richards were drop dead stunning, as well as funny. Chi McBride totally nailed the 1970s police chief character. Gary Anthony Williams was awesome as 'Smart Brother. Chris Kattan, and Neil Patrick Harris were very good as well, but the "Brother Hood" members just ruled,they were great. Well done, Malcom D Lee.

Python Hyena Undercover Brother (2002): Dir: Malcolm D. Lee / Cast: Eddie Griffin, Chris Kattan, Denise Richards, Dave Chappelle, Neil Patrick Harris: Satire that addresses the idea that many white people wish to act in the stereotypical black fashion while blacks cannot imitate the whites. This is best demonstrated when Eddie Griffin is seen in attire that is far from his usual self. Eddie Griffin plays an agent given the title name and he belongs to the B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D. They are fighting against a white organization known as The Man. He is searching for a brainwashing device that is interrogating black people. Funny concept reduced to Griffin's wardrobe and martial arts violence. Well directed by Malcolm D. Lee with eye catching visual elements obviously inspired by Austin Powers. Griffin seems to be having fun with the role however, it is faulted by his constant self awareness as if in on the jokes. Chris Kattan has fun as a villain struggling against influence. This renders his performance the best in the film. Denise Richards begins well and then is reduced to exploiting her sexuality. Dave Chappelle also appears in a cardboard role. Here was an idea that might have seeded had it a better screenplay but instead it becomes one big stupid charade much like Spy Hard was a few years prior. It addresses racial stereotypes while screenplay should have remained undercover. Score: 5 ½ / 10

aernest This is an amazingly good-natured send-up of black and white stereotypes as exemplified in blacksploitation movies of the 70's. Great job on costumes for Undercover Brother in that sense. SOLID supporting cast, especially Dave Chappelle, who is absolutely "ass-kicking" as Conspiracy Brother. Chi McBride and Neil Patrick Harris are outstanding as well. The ONLY bad spot for me is Chris Kattan, whose over-the-top hysterics are not in keeping with the Shaft-cool vibe of the rest of the film. He is desperately unfunny. But the rest of the cast pretty much makes up for him. Great soundtrack too.

Tai Fang 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...
