Storyline
A white faceless corporate despot known only as "The Man", has the power to unleash a terrifying top-secret weapon: an irresistibly packaged psycho-hallucinogenic drug that will reduce the entire population to mindless zombies. but black folks have soul. But with enough funky sense of style, a smooth way with the ladies and an absolute hunger for justice, with his Bruce Lee moves, Cadillac attitude and an arsenal of outrageous disguises and gadgets, Undercover Brother is recruited by the group of Good Guys, know as the B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D. an all-black justice league to foil the Man's plan to derail a Colin Powell-like presidential candidate, and Undercover Brother's undercover exploits keep the slim plot moving. But while he and his sassy cat-fighting partner known as Sistah Girl tries to find out what's going on, the leader's ruthless right arm, Mr. Feather, discovers the conspiracy's sexy secret weapon, Penelope Snow.

I don't thing I stopped laughing for more than ten seconds while I watched this really funny movie. True, the jokes were predictable, and often rather juvenile, thankfully without the usual vulgarity, but the actors presented them so innocently, and even credibly, that I just had to laugh. The premise, even though absurd and rather racist, had little bearing on the movie itself, and was little more than a small and little noticed prop. I expected Billie Dee Williams and Chris Kattan to be excellent in their roles, and I was not disappointed, but even better, the supporting actors brought a freshness and delight to their parts. And importantly, the producers liked the concept of the movie, and had the business sense to invest enough money into the scenery, the costumes, and the locations to make this hilarious comedy a great success!
