When a sinister underground movement threatens to overthrow the government, the Good Guys must call on the one crime fighter cool enough to infiltrate the enemy on the streets or between the sheets -- Undercover Brother. From director Malcolm D. Lee ("The Best Man") and producer Brian Grazer ("The Nutty Professor," "Liar Liar") comes "Undercover Brother," a solid comedy starring Eddie Griffin, Chris Kattan, Denise Richards, Dave Chapelle, Neil Patrick Harris and Aunjanue Ellis.

A low-rent private eye with a Seventies sense of style, UB (Griffin) trades in his Afro, shades and platforms for khakis, horn-rims and penny loafers to go undercover as preppy nerd Antoine Jackson at a multinational conglomerate. But while he and his sassy partner (Ellis) try to find out What's Going On, the leader's ruthless right arm (Kattan) discovers their deception and dispatches the conspiracy's sexy secret weapon (Richards) to eliminate the intruders.
