pimy95 Totally enjoyed this film. Put together at a time of promoting racial harmony, has gags and jokes performed by African American actors..who can do it..to perfection. If you are offended by this film, you need to get a life. It is awesome. Only problem with this film was that there wasn't a sequel. Eddy was hilarious, Dave chapel was fantastic, Aunjanue Ellis and Denise Richards were drop dead stunning, as well as funny. Chi McBride totally nailed the 1970s police chief character. Gary Anthony Williams was awesome as 'Smart Brother. Chris Kattan, and Neil Patrick Harris were very good as well, but the "Brother Hood" members just ruled,they were great. Well done, Malcom D Lee.

SnoopyStyle B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D. is a secret organization battling The Man. While trying to steal bank records, they are interrupted by Robin Hood wannabe Undercover Brother (Eddie Griffin) who is erasing mortgage records. Gen. Warren Boutwell (Billy Dee Williams) is expected to run for President as the favorite to win. However, the Man and boot-licking Mr. Feather (Chris Kattan) use mind control to make him open a fried chicken chain instead. They intend to use him in Operation White Wash. Sistah Girl (Aunjanue Ellis) recruits Undercover Brother into the organization where he meets Conspiracy Brother (Dave Chappelle), The Chief (Chi McBride), Smart Brother (Gary Anthony Williams) and affirmative action intern Lance (Neil Patrick Harris). The Man sends White She Devil (Denise Richards) in to take care of Undercover Brother.It's a non-stop biting satire of 70s blaxploitation films taking on modern racial relationship. It is hilarious. The characters are fun. Comedy is subjective and racial comedy is especially subjective. All I can say is that I found it funny even after a few viewing which is rare. It is just fun.

Tai Fang Had me laugh out loud! I didn't understand the mayonnaise thing but the scene('s sound) was hilarious.It's a delight to see the characters and their actors taking part in a story about racial/cultural issues - without the issues. All are smooth and stylish, energetic and confident. The puns are delivered lighthearted and at a perfect pace (thanks editor!). The only part where there is a danger of awkwardness is the cheesy scene at the end, on the beach, but this scene too contains the exact right amount of relaxed self humor. A perfect sense of how to put it, by the whole cast and the director. O and the suits are spectacular...

odanny I don't watch a lot of comedies because most seem not at all funny to me. Admittedly I'm not looking out for those films with a lot of interest in seeing them. I didn't think I'd ever see something approaching the hilarity of "Office Space" ever again until I stumbled across this film one night. I could tell in one or two minutes it was going to be funny. I was not disappointed.The humor seem to have grew throughout the film. The power of this comedy is its entire 'staying power', and with only a few exceptions it builds at the beginning and never lets up. Brilliantly done spoof that manages to strike the perfect tone of balance throughout by the characters ever outrageous pokes at stereotypes of all kinds, the sexuality of black men, especially with white women, is laughed at in all kinds of ridiculous and over the top angles, mixing in the token look of Uncle Tom in a white mans business world to the alter ego of Eddie Griffin, the title character of the movie. Dave Chappelle is fantastic, continually spoofing the angry black man with a conspiracy problem and a weed problem, never quite in on whats the subject but always funny.Billie Dee Williams character was great too and a unforgiving and harsh jab at Ret. Gen. Colin Powell, a military man who held real credentials until his one blemish, going to the UN with news he probably didn't believe (note: my opinion) I also do not know if a feeling of resentment by the black community was real or, like much of this film, just imagined and spoofed in this comparison of these two, as 'Gen. Boutwell' turns into a 'down on the farm' character in black face, dancing at the behest of the white world for profit and inclusion in the all white club. But, of course, its out of 'his control', so he is not really responsible for it. If there is a deeper message, its hidden, but I do know it's its a most clever skewering of someone. And that's a real point of the film is how to read it, how far the director is going, and what other stereotypes will be exploded in the viewers face.Whether its 'representing or just pretending' in a way, whether real, imagined, or hilariously spoofed, its all funny. Some spoofs are very artful and accurate in their intent and the complexities of the surroundings are always just as in tune with being over the top as the spirited performances of the cast. "Mr. Feather" was carried out with hilarity, and was right in line with the outrageous nature of everyone else. (Funny dance scene.) Neil Patrick Harris and Denise Richards (who was maybe featured more than she should have) were both good as well, and it struck just the right balance throughout this laugh fest of all their roles together with the rest of the cast. It stayed funny till its very end. Fantastic job goes out to John Ridley and Malcolm D. Lee on this one.
