A man who made a very scary weapon is a medicine that will reduce the entire population to mental zombies, but black people still have a spirit. On the other hand, a man called Undercover Brother, Brother is a secret agent working for a group of good men known as the Muslim Brothers, will be set up in a completely black court to thwart the man's plan to block a presidential candidate named Colin Powell. Undercover Brother's works and exploits remain secret, a slow plot moving slowly. In the end, the arm of the right-wing leader, Mr. Feather, is discovered, the secret weapon of the plot, Penelope Snow.

Stereotype-based satire; not for young kids.

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.

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.

It's breezily entertaining and culturally specific without resorting to gross-out jokes or cruelty.

"Undercover Brother" fares better as a blaxploitation spoof than as silly-spy shtick. Scathing but not scatological, "Brother's" withering insights are equal opportunity: Here, white guilt is as satirically punishable an offense as propping up prejudice.

The problem is, that half the time I laughed myself silly, while the other half, I was egregiously offended.

Much of Undercover Brother plays as a funnier, if similarly addled, Bamboozled.

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.
