Undercover Brother movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Renee Graham, Boston Globe: The most excruciating 86 minutes one might sit through this summer that do not involve a dentist drill. Read more
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: Feels like one of those movies lifted from a Saturday Night Live skit and then stretched way thin. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: The movie isn't just hilarious: It's witty and inventive, too, and in hindsight, it isn't even all that dumb. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: 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. Read more
Susan Stark, Detroit News: There's an anarchic energy to this movie and a commitment to reality-based foolishness that wins you over. Read more
Mark Caro, Chicago Tribune: It's breezily entertaining and culturally specific without resorting to gross-out jokes or cruelty. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: The one-liners are clever enough and the physical comedy and pop-culture goofing sufficiently dumb and broad to make Undercover Brother ... a reasonably pleasant experience. Read more
Melanie McFarland, Seattle Times: A colorful, cool and completely hilarious ride that'll have you rolling through the outtakes. Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: Every broad stereotype and discomfiting joke carries the sting of truth. Read more
Paul Tatara, CNN.com: A spy movie-blaxploitation picture spoof that repeats itself so often, and hits its targets so erratically, you'd swear it was adapted from a Saturday Night Live skit. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Traffics in the kind of prechewed racial cliches that have already been through the corporate stand-up-comedy mill. Read more
Jason Anderson, Globe and Mail: A live-action version that's as funny and savvy as the original, even if one leaves the theatre exhausted by its barrage of pop-culture references, and perhaps disappointed by its softness as satire. Read more
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News: It's short, painless and likely to make even tough comedy customers laugh out loud a few times. Read more
Mark Olsen, L.A. Weekly: 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. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: 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. Read more
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com: A joyful mix of high and low humor, pulled off with style and an eye for glamour. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: It combines relentless energy with an aura of good nature for a formula that works. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: It's about keeping it funny, and on that score Undercover Brother is right on. Read more
Joe Leydon, Variety: 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. Read more
Dennis Lim, Village Voice: Much of Undercover Brother plays as a funnier, if similarly addled, Bamboozled. Read more
