Okay… bend me over
and call me Jo Jo… here’s my first overt pull-quote in a long
while…
“Take it from this white boy, Undercover Brother is
easily the funniest movie I’ve seen this year.”
What
can I tell you? I laughed and I laughed and I laughed some
more. I laughed so
much that I was a little embarrassed after a while.
The screenplay, written John Ridley and Mike
McCullers (of Austin Powers screenwriting fame),
is sensational. Malcolm D. Lee does a nice job behind the camera, but the
screenplay… it’s so good that I am going to go out of my way
to track down John Ridley’s only directorial effort,
which he also wrote, Cold Around The Heart.
