Starring : Eddie Griffin, Chris Kattan, Denise Richards, Aunjanue Ellis, Dave Chappelle, Chi McBride, Neil Patrick Harris, Billy Dee Williams
Director : Malcolm D Lee
Running Time : 82 mins

Undercover Brother (Griffin) is a seventies style crime fighter who is hired by the secret organisation known as The Brotherhood to help fight against the evil plans of The Man, whose latest notion to set back race relations is to brainwash a successful black politician, General Boutwell (Williams), into giving up politics to sell fried chicken, but there's something even more sinister behind this basic plan, and Undercover Brother plans on finding out what it is.

This is such a silly movie that it really does tickle at some points, although there are also moments that aren't so funny. Dave Chappelle is brilliant as Conspiracy Brother, continually making everything out to be a conspiracy to keep black men down, while Griffin puts in an over the top, energetic performance as the eponymous hero.
