Undercover Brother
Undercover Brother is a secret agent working for the B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D., a covert organisation dedicated to overthrowing The Man and his racist schemes. Partnered with the sassy, stunning Sistah Girl, our hero must first undergo the ultimate attitude adjustment and trade in his 'fro and platforms for tennis sweaters and penny loafers. However, Undercover Brother's skill will be tested to the limit when he encounters the White She Devil, a woman as deadly and she is seductive.

The problem is, that half the time I laughed myself silly, while the other half, I was egregiously offended.

"Undercover Brother" fares better as a blaxploitation spoof than as silly-spy shtick. Scathing but not scatological, "Brother's" withering insights are equal opportunity: Here, white guilt is as satirically punishable an offense as propping up prejudice.

Instead of packing an R-rated, politically incorrect punch, the film goes for the easy laughs without getting too raunchy or violent, and the result is mildly amusing but mostly mediocre.

Stereotype-based satire; not for young kids.

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.

Even during periods when the belly laughs subside, Griffin continues to keep it really amusing with his exuberant flair for physical comedy and mock-serious swagger.

It's breezily entertaining and culturally specific without resorting to gross-out jokes or cruelty.
