Undercover Brother

 

The MM - "Funky comedy starring afro wearing Eddie Griffin who is the only man cool enough to foil the fiendish plot of "The Man" to brainwash the African American population. With the soul of Shaft and the style of Superfly Undercover Brother takes us  on a laugh filled journey that makes fun of almost every stereotype in both black and white American culture. It's hard to make a movie where every scene is funny and Undercover Brother does hit some snags, especially (this reminds me of a trip I took recently down the mighty Nooksak where my partner and I were nearly capsized by a supposed rescue vessel. Remind me to tell you that story during a later review if I forget) in the second half. Not to be viewed with even an ounce of seriousness (I just remembered that I was supposed to pick up some milk on the way home) Undercover Brother's rapid fire approach will tickle your funny bone."  "
