If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Blistering performances.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I have heard others criticize this film for it's campy humor and the sometimes outrageous action scenes but it is one of my favorite films and I cannot recommend it too highly. I am typically not fond of the use of tacky humor but this passes all of my requisites, but from an objective standpoint I am able to see where others might be quickly annoyed with the humor and scripting of this film. The acting could be more convincing but the story itself is not convincing so it's hard to condemn the film for that. You have to go into the plot with a willingness to suspend disbelief, but it doesn't fit into the same bracket as films like Joe Dirt as far as humor is concerned. Other than some potentially objectionable language I think this film is a great bet especially if you need a good laugh. It should also be noted that the people that I know personally who did not enjoy this film went into it with more serious expectations. It is important to realize before you watch that the plot does not center around the action so much as it does the humor. I have owned it since it came out and rarely do I enjoy a film more than twice but this is one I have watched twice a week on occasions when I have needed cheering up! Obviously rent before you purchase. Orlando Jones and Eddie Griffin both do an incredible job and I can't even imagine what the outtakes would be like. That would be something to see!

An all around great movie. It was clever in the way Orlando Jones and Eddie Griffith switched characters and the jokes were all solid. There was a lot of depth to the characters that you usually don't get from comedies. A must see. Avoid Undercover Brother! See this instead.

Though billed as a Rush Hour action-comedy, it is not funny at all, except for one scene at the end. Even though the actors were good, this movie is not recommended from me. It could have had funnier moments. My rating: 4/10

Phony Feds, fake CIA agents; double crossing, double dealing where either nobody was who they said or lied about what their business was. The antics of Freddie Tiffany had me rolling at times, he was way beyond cool. Not a bad picture and it offered up some good comedy, but wasn't anything special.
