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

Full Review | Jun 11, 2002

It's far from perfect -- as many jokes fall flat as succeed -- but like Undercover Brother himself, it's smarter than most, and twice as solid.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 10, 2002

A colorful, cool and completely hilarious ride that'll have you rolling through the outtakes.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | May 31, 2002

It combines relentless energy with an aura of good nature for a formula that works.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 31, 2002

A joyful mix of high and low humor, pulled off with style and an eye for glamour.

The broad physical comedy is as reliable as a brick house.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 31, 2002

A surprisingly 'solid' achievement by director Malcolm D. Lee and writer John Ridley.

Every broad stereotype and discomfiting joke carries the sting of truth.
