     Comedies aren’t my favorite type of movie, but this one of a kind parody of the "Austin Powers" series was much too hard to resist. Undercover Brother brought endless laughs and smiles. The ridiculous seventies funk antics are things I couldn’t help chuckling at. I thought this would be another mediocre rap-based teenage flick, but man was I wrong. Luckily that I saw it, I did not miss any of the laughs that the funky “Undercover Brother” produced, he was “SOLID”!

     I really enjoyed Eddie Griffin’s “FUNKY” voice, it was a completely “RETRO”. All of the laughs were created by the way he said the lines that he was provided with; and of course, his undeniably funny disco-like appearance. Overall, his performance was an eccentric, and unique masterpiece; in it's own little way.

-

     Griffin was great, but the best performance in the film was put on by Chris Kattan. He play’s a man who wants to shut out blacks from their funky ways, but every time he hears a catchy rap or R&B song he bursts out in the undeniably wonderful jives of the artist. His performance was one of the best comedic efforts I have seen in years!

-

     Denise Richards fit the film well too. She was the perfect example of a white kiss up, who has the ability to make a movie just a little bit funnier. I almost fell over after a certain sequence of jokes about mayonnaise that involved "Undercover Brother" and her character. She was a sexy fit into this film’s critically acclaimed cast of characters.

     Undercover Brother is a great comedy that almost everyone will love. The way it evolved racism into comedy was the secret of the magic; it made something incredibly serious into a laid-back extravaganza of hilaria. Undercover Brother has something for everyone, and will use this skill to please audiences around the globe.
