Undercover Brother

The first time I talked to Pez about this movie, I mistakingly referred to it as "Undercover Black-man". I know I'll never make that mistake again. (I almost made it the title of this thread, but I saw it and corrected it before any damage occured)
The story of a 1970s black hero in the year 2000, Undercover Brother is a comedy about the battle for racial acceptance.
Now, if the movie sounded even the least bit sophisticated from my description, throw that conception away. It's a dull comedy with way too many bad racial jokes. The only joke I remember, and the one that kept Pez, Chewi, and myself laughing for a minute, isn't even a joke:
Security Guard: Hey, you there! Don't move!
Undercover Brother and Sistah Girl: *run away*
Security Guard: Aw, damn. They moved!
All in all, this movie isn't really worth watching, unless you're doing research on stereotypes of whites and blacks in the 1970s.
