I was re-watching Undercover Brother last night and realized that unlike most comedies that "shoot their wad" in the first 30 minutes this movie is humorous from beginning to end. The only downside to seeing this movie is that my wife will now look at me exasperatedly for weeks as I quote some of the more memorable parts of the movie randomly. Of course, who wouldn't get irritated at that?
First, Eddie Griffin needs to be in more movies. I laugh throughout the whole movie while the "B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D." (what does that stand for anyway? it's never explained) tries to keep "THE MAN" from keeping the brothers down. Dave Chapelle as Conspiracy Brother is hysterical as is the "Cat Fight" between Sistah Girl and White She-Devil. And let's not forget to metion Billy Dee Williams, Neil Patrick Harris and a cameo by Mr. James Brown.
Second, the music selection throughout this movie is incredible. Always something cool and funky coming out of the stereo.
Ok, this move is totally unbelievable but so what? It's a C-O-M-E-D-Y. If you absolutely can't stand racial jokes, especially those told from the black or african-american perspective, don't watch this movie. I get a kick out of this movie every time I watch it.
I hope you like it.
