Undercover Brother [P&S Collector's Edition] [DVD] [2002]

Starring Eddie Griffin, Chris Kattan, Denise Richard and Dave Chapelle, Undercover Brother is a wildly over-the-top comedy spoof like no other! He's badder than Bond. He's cooler than any international man of secrets. He's Undercover Brother, a globe-trotting disco-dude of intrigue with more cool spy gadgets up his sleeve than you can shake a rocket-launching cigar at. Now, this Kung-Fu-fighting, Caddy-convertible-driving super-secret agent is swinging into action against a deliciously twisted plot to brainwash all of humanity. Rocking to a solid-gold '70s soundtrack, Undercover Brother is the funk-fueled comedy free-for-all!

Malcolm D. Lee's comedy Undercover Brother comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer that fails to preserve the original theatrical aspect ratio. Closed-captioned English soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1, while a French soundtrack has also been recorded in Dolby Digital 5.1. Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include commentary from the director as well as from star Eddie Griffin, a blooper reel, an alternate ending, deleted scenes, a music video from Snoop Dogg, and a selection of the original short movies that inspired the feature length film. This is a fine release for what it is, but the same extras are available on a different disc that offers a widescreen transfer of the film. That version is preferable to this one.
