I have seen a lot of discussion on IMDb about this film being 'racist' towards whites, but to be honest, I found 'Undercover Brother' to be an equal opportunity offender, with no stereotype about blacks OR whites going un-skewered. agents Sistah Girl, Conspiracy Brother, Smart Brother, and 'Lance' (Neil Patrick Harris in a hilarious turn as the lone white member of the group - he got his internship through - what else? - affirmative action), Undercover Brother infiltrates The Man's organization to destroy the plot, though he nearly becomes a victim of their most potent weapon, the gorgeous Denise Richards, aka 'White She-Devil' (whom 'The Man' calls 'Black Man's Kryptonite.') along the way. Ably assisted by fellow B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D. Now rather than run for the White House, he runs a nationwide Fried Chicken chain instead. when a black war hero (Billy Dee Williams)'s plans to run for President are derailed by a mind control drug designed by The Man. Normally a lone wolf, he is drafted into the B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D. Eddie Griffin stars as Undercover Brother, a funky '70s throwback hero with a huge Afro and platform shoes, who drives around in a pimped-out Caddy performing acts of Kung-Fu derring-do to aid the African American cause. Fortunately, the black community has its own underground group, known as 'The B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D.' created to undermine The Man's plans to 'Whitewash' the world. As the film opens, we are filled in on the ongoing battle between the black community and a super secret organization known as 'The Man,' who works tirelessly to negate African-American influence on the world at large. Though it's basically a 'blaxploited' version of the 'Austin Powers' concept, 'Undercover Brother' is funny enough to be enjoyable on its own merits. I first saw 'Undercover Brother' on cable a few years ago and since then it's become one of my favorite comedies of recent years. Title (Brazil): 'Undercover Brother Com a Cor e a Coragem' ('Undercover Brother With the Color and Courage') There are many other jokes related to the North American culture that are impossible to be understood by an overseas viewer, but anyway I loved this movie. I did not understand the joke with mayonnaise, but I believe that usually Afro-American people do not like this dressing, or at least there is a clichés about in USA. Dave Chappelle is the funniest, but Chris Kattan, Eddie Griffin, Aunjanue Ellis, Denise Richards and the rest of the cast are also amazingly funny. I believe this is the major point of the plot, keeping a neutral position and ridiculing and satirizing racism of Caucasians and Blacks. The story is a big joke with the North American racism, both white and black, with very funny situations 'à la Austin Powers'. 'Undercover Brother' is one of the most hilarious and silly comedies I have ever seen, and very underrated in IMDb. I do not recall the last time I laughed so much with a comedy. Warren Boutwell (Billy Dee Williams) has a weird behavior in his presidential campaign, the Undercover Brother (Eddie Griffin) is hired to work undercover in the white organization and find what happened with the potential candidate. Austin Powers clone it may be, but Undercover Brother delivers hard hitting, stereotype ridden comedy, every bit the equal of the original Powers movie.An Afro-American organization, the B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D., is in permanent fight against a white organization, The Man, defending the values of the black people in North America. Yet, the laughs are undeniable, despite the sometimes-annoying lulls that bottom out between them. Undercover Brother IS little more than the black Austin Powers. The comparisons are inevitable, and impossible to ignore. Garbed in full-bodied Afro and slick 70's leather, it's up to Undercover Brother (Eddie Griffin) and the BROTHERHOOD (an organization of black super-spies) to stop 'The Man' from further undermining the future of the Black Man.įortunately, Griffin has finally struck gold in a mostly hit and occasionally miss screenplay by Michael McCullers, whose credits, perhaps not surprisingly, include work on the original Austin Powers flick. Now, the Great Black Hope, a Colonel Powell like presidential candidate, has dropped out of the political arena to open a chain of chicken franchises.

Since it's peak in the 70's, Black culture has been wussified by the likes of Steve Urkel and Dennis Rodman. You see, “The Man” has taken over the system.
