| Undercover Brother with St. Ides Malt Liquor |
Kirk:
Sneaking a flask of St. Ides into a movie theater, does it
get any better than that? How about a cast of Doogie Howser, Principal Harper,
Corkey Romero, Denise Richards, The Godfather of Soul and Lando Calrissian?
Think of Undercover Brother as a cross between Shaft,
and Austin Powers. He teams up with the B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D. to fight ‘The
Man’ and his forces trying to caucasianize Black America. It was nice to see
Lando (If only we had picked Colt 45 instead of St Ides… <sigh> maybe
next time) back on the big screen (Where the heck has he been since Return of
the Jedi?) playing the part of a Colin Powell-like general about to run for
President. ‘The Man’, having perfected a mind-control serum, uses it on him to
further his devious plans. Lando opens a chain of fried chicken joints to
spread his drug to unsuspecting bruthas and sistahs everywhere. It’s up to
Undercover Brother to put a stop to it. That’s the plot in a nutshell: simple
and full of clichés (No ethnic group is safe in this film: the white man
dressing… well as white-folks dress; the black mans fear of mayonnaise, and his
love of white women (Yum Denise Richards!)).
I loved this film! Laughed my ass off, and the St Ides had nothing to do
with it!
MY PICK: As my handy ebonics translator says: Grab yo' 40 an' jet see dis here movie!

Rich:
I wish I could grow a 'fro like Undercover Brother. Afro picks were his
weapon of choice - need I say more? This movie was highly entertaining from
start to finish. The $6.00 matinee was well worth it. Watching Billy Dee
Williams on the big screen made me want to drink a bottle Colt 45 in a brown
paper bag. My favorite part of the movie: When Undercover Brother went
undercover by acting as a corporate white guy, his caucasianess (is that a
word?) was tested by having to answer what was on Ross's night table the
first time he kissed Rachel on the third season of Friends. I drank the St.
Ides out of a nip bottle. I only wish I could have snuck the whole forty in.
MY PICK: Taking Bad Beer Bad Movie on the road was a big risk. That risk was
eliminated by the quality bad movie that was Undercover Brother.
