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

Reviews

Jae-Ha Kim

"Undercover Brother" ends as you would expect. But the spirit of the film is best characterized by this exchange between two operatives: “Behind every great black man is the police.”

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.
