For those of you who are looking for a new hero, look no further than "Undercover Brother".

"Undercover Brother" is easily the funniest film of the year and will probably keep that honor for the rest of 2002. Austin Powers ain't got nuthin' on the Undercover Brother. Now can you dig that?

Eddie Griffin has worked his way into a franchise. Griffin plays the title role of Undercover Brother with a bravado that only a hip crime fighter from the seventies could have.

The story has "THE MAN" trying to keep a General, played by Billy Dee Williams, (think Colin Powell with a little more soul) from becoming President of the United States. "THE MAN's" top henchman is Mr. Feather, played brilliantly as always by Chris Kattan.

When Mr. Feather drugs the General it is up to Undercover Brother and the B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D. to stop him. The B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D. is a secret agency of who are trying to keep from being held down by "THE MAN".

Griffin is joined by Dave Chapelle as "conspiracy brother", Gary Anthony Williams as "smart brother", Chi McBride as "Chief" and Aunjanue Ellis as "sistah girl", as they try to stop the evil plot against them.

Denise Richards is sent in as "THE Man's" secret weapon, she is referred to as "black man's kryptonite" and the "white she-devil". She plays her role with the utmost conviction to the character and has a hell of alot of fun with it.

This film is one laugh after another with all black-white stereotypes thrown in to keep anyone on their toes. Many times throughout the film the audience was laughing so loud that I would miss the next line. There are no dead spots at all in the film. It actually has a good enough plot to get from scene to scene.

But the real stars of the film are Eddie Griffin and Chris Kattan as they face off in a series of dances, fights and facial expressions.

I would put my money on "Undercover Brother" as the top comedy of the summer.
