Undercover Brother

 

 

 

 Starring: Eddie Griffin

 Directed by: Malcolm D. Lee

 Rated PG-13

 Genre: Comedy

 Synopsis: The MAN has been controlling the world for too long, an African-American has finally decided to run for president, and the MAN does not like that idea, so he kidnaps him and brainwashes him, it is up to the B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D. and Undercover Brother to save the day.

 My Thoughts: This movie is a spoof of all the 1970's Blaxplotation films. It is hilarious, but not a great movie per se. 

   Scorecard

     Acting- Eddie Griffin as Undercover Brother is very funny. Denise Richards as the Black Man's Kryptonite is hilarious and Neil Patrick Harris as the white man in a black mans world is pure gold. (damn affirmative action!) But the acting wasn't anything special, albeit funny, just nothing great. (1/2)

     Direction- This movie really didn't have a whole lot of direction, but flowed well enough because the story was written well. (1/2)

     Story- Undercover Brother has been hired by the BROTHERHOOD to save a presidential candidate who has been brainwashed by the MAN, hilarity ensues. (1)

     Expectations- I expected this movie to be pretty funny and entertaining. It was. (1/2)

     Boring?- I really don't remember any really boring parts to this movie. I do remember that there were parts to this movie that didn't make much sense, but overall it was not boring. (1/2)

  Final Score: 3 out of 5

 Final Thoughts: This movie was a very good spoof. Eddie Griffin knows his spoofs and seems to do well in the ones he is in. I was impressed with this movie, just because it was funny during most of the movie, while not all of it being laugh out loud funny, there are tons of little chuckle parts.
