(1 - 39) of 39 OFCS Rating: 81% Fresh Page   1   2.5/4 "...zips along at a frenetic pace, but the lack of plot does eventually catch up with the rest of the movie."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 2.5/4 "You may not think too deeply about Undercover Brother once it's over, but you won't be able to deny how much you laughed out loud."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 3/4 "A witty piece of genre deconstruction that's curiously drunk on pomo knowingness for both the mofo mystique of 70s blaxploitation and the mojo bull**** of James Bond."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez B "The satire is at both cultures' expenses, which is a beautiful thing."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider B- "Has the right mindset, but not always the right material."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov B "A smart, shrewd, even charming spoof...easily beats 'Austin Powers' at his own game."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/4 "There are laughs aplenty, and, as a bonus, viewers don't have to worry about being subjected to farts, urine, feces, semen, or any of the other foul substances that have overrun modern-day comedies."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2.5/4 "an enjoyably retro ride that relies more on cultural awareness for its humor than sheer gross-out"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 2.5/4 "From the opening strains of the Average White Band's "Pick up the Pieces", you can feel the love."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 6/10 "I know we're not supposed to take it seriously, but I can't shake the thought that Undercover Brother missed an opportunity to strongly present some profound social commentary."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 5/10 "One can't help but feel that either the filmmakers missed some golden opportunities or that the source material simply ran dry before the picture could run its course."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 7/10 "Imagine Austin Powers running into Zoolander at a Black Panthers meeting..."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 7/10 "The summer's first raucous comedy"   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 5/5 "There is nothing undercover about this comedy. It's Solid. Can you diggit?"   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 4/5 "(The film) uses the well-traveled conventions of racial stereotyping to make a grand little spy/action comedy."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 3.5/4 "Eddie Griffin is one of the funniest comedians in Hollywood making films right now... see why he's still a bargain for top billing."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 2.5/4 "As hard as “Undercover Brother” tries to be a black “Austin Powers”, it lacks the demented brilliance of a guy like Mike Myers."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest B- "Like any one of a number of Saturday Night Live movies, Undercover Brother is fifteen funny minutes of material stretched thin over two hours."   Countingdown.com   Larry Carroll 2.5/4 "The movie just has too much on its plate to really stay afloat for its just under ninety minute running time."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik 2.5/4 "Not particularly good, but good enough for a comedy"   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes ""It’s all just an advertisement for the funkadelic soundtrack.""   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/4 "Click to read review"   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina 3.5/5 "The sketch comedy feel works wonders."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 3/4 "Funny? Fo' shizzle."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 4/5 "The movie is filled with such high spirits and good humor that the jokes are pointed but not barbed."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow C+ "There are a lot of laughs to be found in this film."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B "...a spoof comedy that carries its share of laughs – sometimes a chuckle, sometimes a guffaw and, to my great pleasure, the occasional belly laugh."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 4/5 "An impressive balance of well-executed slapstick and insightful (albeit silly) social commentary."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg 2.5/4 "funny at parts"   sbs.is   Stefan Birgir Stefansson "A joyful mix of high and low humor, pulled off with style and an eye for glamour."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 2.5/4 "Manages in two minutes what Malcolm Lee's cousin Spike's Bamboozled couldn't in over two hours."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 3/4 "One of the best comedies of its kind."   Oscar Guy   Wesley Lovell 9/10 Read review   Modamag.com   Brian Orndorf 3/4 Read review   In the Dark   Jonathan F.
