6/10
Not a mean bone in its body
28 December 2008
This is an amazingly good-natured send-up of black and white stereotypes as exemplified in blacksploitation movies of the 70's. Great job on costumes for Undercover Brother in that sense. SOLID supporting cast, especially Dave Chappelle, who is absolutely "ass-kicking" as Conspiracy Brother. Chi McBride and Neil Patrick Harris are outstanding as well. The ONLY bad spot for me is Chris Kattan, whose over-the-top hysterics are not in keeping with the Shaft-cool vibe of the rest of the film. He is desperately unfunny. But the rest of the cast pretty much makes up for him. Great soundtrack too.
