Undercover Brother

See this film and laugh your ass off, and in between your tears of joy learn the true cause of racial and ethnic division.

A joyful mix of high and low humor, pulled off with style and an eye for glamour (Danielle Hollowell deserves special praise for her costumes; she's the high priestess of fitted snakeskin).

The film works no matter which side of the racial divide you're on, because nothing unites an audience quite like making fun of everyone.

The picture is crammed with shameless satire, engaging moments of pure silliness and jokes that border on the outrageous. It combines relentless energy with an aura of good nature for a formula that works.

This is a smart, spirited spoof that will leave you with a smile on your face - and an appetite for some serious '70s funk to play on the eight-track in your solid gold Cadillac convertible.

The one-liners are clever enough and the physical comedy and pop-culture goofing sufficiently dumb and broad to make Undercover Brother, a reasonably pleasant experience.

Tries to wring laughs from just about every dusty stereotype about blacks and whites imaginable. But it's all cheap, lazy, and unoriginal.

Undercover Brother contains a lot of the same tropes as an all-black Austin Powers spin-off, which isn't surprising considering it shares the same screenwriter. But disregarding the obvious cliches, viewers can find an honest racial underpinning essential to the comedic action.

Occasional chuckle screenplay, high quality production allows for some interesting action sequences. Really enjoyed the funky music, costumes and cast performances. Direction is fair although the pacing feels quite slow at times. Story is probably the weakest area with very little depth to what's going on in the undercover brother universe. If you're in the mood for some light entertainment or are a fan of the action comedy genre then this might be for you!
