Undercover Brother

Pros: Slapstick and subtle humor. Really funny stuff.

Cons: If you like PC, then you won't like this one.

The Bottom Line: I'm buying my own copy, because I really loved this video.

Review: “You know what they say, behind every great black man, there's . . . the police . . . a bunch of slow white athletes . . . a cute butt . . . probable cause.” Undercover Brother tosses out that statement in the movie Undercover Brother and ...

Pros: Wow - witty, intelligent, subversive satire that's funny too!

Cons: Probably not so funny if you aren't familiar with blaxploitation flicks.

The Bottom Line: Undercover Brother is a loving homage to seventies exploitation flicks in a witty, well done comedy (a rare thing these day).

Review: What up, my brothas! Welcome to my Black Christmas (and I don't mean Q'Uanz'hah, or whatever the hell it is) write off. Come celebrate the best and worst of hard hitting, hard lovin', two fisted, no nonsense blaxploitation flicks ever offered by ...

Pros:   A movie that makes racial tensions look funny.

Cons:   The cart chase, could have gone further with the racial tension.

The Bottom Line:  

One of my more enjoyable comedies that makes fun of everyone, and makes you think too.

Review:   I don't know how to write a good comedy review without adding in spoilers. But as many of you know I refuse to put any type of spoiler in my reviews if possible. So that is my goal and I hope this review is informative and doesn't spoil it too ...

Pros: Film is so funny, even Doogie Howser and Chris Kattan are good.

Cons: There are like 5 minutes where the "sell out" bit gets old.

The Bottom Line: WE WANT THE FUNK!

Review: This had been the movie I'd been waiting a long time for. I heard about this way, way back. About the same time I heard about when ended up being that horrible piece of garbage, Kung Pow: Enter the Fist.

But, I didn't see or hear...

Pros: Great casting, a very funny film. The previews do not do it justice.

Cons: Some jokes may go over the heads of younger audiences

The Bottom Line: Finally! A comedy that doesn't need extreme profanity to be funny. Highly recommended.

Review: How did we get to this point?

My fiance (Jason) and I found ourselves with nothing to do Sunday afternoon. It was an overcast, humid day, the type that made you feel like you needed to take a shower over and over again. Jason's mom...

Pros: clever script that keeps the one-liners coming

Cons: Chris Kattan is not at his best here

The Bottom Line: A hilarious, smart comedy- distinctly different from the mediocre comedies Hollywood keeps assaulting us with

Review: When I saw previews for this movie, I wrote it off immediately and didn't see it in the theatres. Two years later, a friend lent the DVD to me, and I couldn't believe what I missed. This is seriously one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. ...

Pros: This film has no swearing and no nudity and is still funny!

Cons: You might need to be over thirty-five years old to understand some jokes.

The Bottom Line: Undercover Brother is as funny as the film "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka". I like the fact that the film was funny without putting any group down.

Review: Undercover Brother is a spoof on disco and the 1970's. If you remember Soul Train and Don Cornelius "back in the day" you will have some fun and hopefully happy nostalgic flashbacks. When was the last time you saw steel afro-picks (or afro hair styles...

Pros: comedy,storyline,the comedy of dave chappelle

Cons: nothing

The Bottom Line: Go see this movie.This movie is basically just like Austin Powers except with black people in it.This movie is the funniest movie out today.

Review:
Eddie Griffin plays the title character in this affably loopy blaxploitation spoof about a funky do-gooder who cruises in a gold Cadillac convertible and pulls off startling martial arts moves while sporting the most impressive Afro since Jimi...

Pros: More gags fly than flop.

Cons: Act III is a minefield.

The Bottom Line: An impressive balance of well-executed slapstick and insightful (albeit silly) social commentary.

Review: It's never fair to dismiss a film before it's advertised and released, but that's almost what I did with Undercover Brother. Following a year-and-a-half of painful and insulting comedies about black people (avoid How High and Snow...

Pros: It's hilarious...

Cons: ...but it's one long inside joke.

The Bottom Line: Say it loud--I'm black and I'm proud. Just don't make me eat mayonnaise.

Review: So about a million years ago, in the month of March, there was a Black History Month Write-Off. I, tjolims was supposed to write a review or essay for this commemorative event. As a matter of fact, I ,did write an Black History Month...
