Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Even the soundtrack selections are second- or third-hand.

rotten:
Instead of packing an R-rated, politically incorrect punch, the film goes for the easy laughs without getting too raunchy or violent, and the result is mildly amusing but mostly mediocre.

The film works no matter which side of the racial divide you're on, because nothing unites an audience quite like making fun of everyone.

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

It's breezily entertaining and culturally specific without resorting to gross-out jokes or cruelty.
