Critics Consensus: Fast-paced and filled with racial gags, Undercover Brother serves up plenty of laughs and sharp satire.

Reviews

Justin Brown

Chappelle is kind of a guiding light throughout this whole thing. Otherwise it's a bit of a mess.

Chappelle saves this movie in all of his scenes. I think some roles were miscast as the other performances either stifled the comedy or made it too silly.

Its occasionally muddled, and at times insidious messaging aside, 'Undercover Brother' works as a love letter to the 70s where, in the film's view, Black consciousness and Black heroes ruled the land.

Stereotype-based satire; not for young kids.

"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.
