MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Sweetigal85 I am not sure where all of the hate is coming from for this movie. I found it to be very funny and enjoyable. I see a lot of people reviewing that only children would enjoy it but I honestly don't think children are the target audience for this movie, I think they would be bored and confused by it. Molly/Brook is NOT Hannah Montana in this movie!I found myself laughing right off the bat and I found Molly to be a very strong, inspiring character. Obviously many elements of the film are far-fetched, but you just have to suspend disbelief a little bit and enjoy it. I never suspected who the real villain was throughout the whole movie and I found it hysterical that she beat her new boyfriend senseless and he had nothing to do with it at all, he was framed. The plot line with her dad was very touching and I enjoyed the way it ended with everyone getting what they wanted. Good guys win, bad guys lose! Very feel good! The only thing I would have liked to have seen more of was Molly actually bonding with Alex. It seemed like Alex was her purpose at the house but she barely spent any time with her at all. I found that to be very strange. And even as an adult, I honestly found the whole thing with the ledgers and stuff to be very confusing haha.This movie is definitely a thrilling story with lots of laughs. I wish Miley Cyrus had made more movies like this. I would definitely recommend it for teenagers and women of any age. Not sure guys would be able to sit through this though, it is very girlie!
Kristen99 So let's start by the plot.I voted 8/10 since it's a really good chick flick.The plot evolves nicely.I didn't notice any major holes.It has a well written scenario.It is easy to watch and interesting at the same time.Miley was quite good in this movie.All of the actors were good on their parts.I am quite satisfied by this movie.You should watch it.It's not a waste of time.Has some funny moments.But it's a teen movie.So nothing extraordinary or something that earns your wow.It an okay movie.Music is good.Has some quite nice songs.I loved the scene were Miley handcuffs the guy.It was a funny one,especially since we knew she was wrong about it.Out of all the movies in which Miley has played this is the best one.It is a good spy teen movie,about girl world
ironhorse_iv OMFG, This campus comedy direct-to-video movie needs to be school on, how to make a successful comedy. It's because this movie is pretty mediocre. Directed by Tom Vaughan, So Undercover tells the story of Molly Morris (Miley Cyrus), a successful private investigator who specializes in adultery cases. Gaining the respect of the FBI; Molly starts working with them under Agent Armon Ranford (Jeremy Piven)'s control. Ranford recruits her, to pose as a transferring sorority sister under the name, Brooke Stonebridge at a New Orleans college in order to cozy up to Alex Patrone (Lauren McKnight), a potential witness in an important Russian mafia investigation. Can Brooke AKA Molly protect Alex from those who are seeking to hurt her, or will the criminals get, what they want for her? Watch the movie to find out, if you really want to! Without spoiling the movie, too much, I have to say, Miley Cyrus's acting skills are so limited and green here. Cyrus's only previous successful work before this; was playing a young singer that has a double life in the 2006-2011's TV show 'Hanna Montana'. Seeing, how much that role mirror her real-life, it's not much, of a stretch in the acting field. She looks so uncomfortable, with her role, here, as if she didn't want to do it, but had to. Miley Cyrus barely had any chemistry with anybody else on screen. Her character's relationship with Nicolas Dexter (Josh Bowman) felt a bit forced. I really didn't see them, falling in love, at all. The only redeeming aspect of the movie is the tender and close relationship between Molly and her father, Sam (Mike O'Malley), but it's far too short. Worst of all, She really look like a fish out of water, big time, when she's acting with the much, much superior actor in Jeremy Piven. Who, by the way, gives a hell of a performance, here! I really surprised, how much work, he really put in, into his role and not phone it, in. He really outshine his co-star, Cyrus. Miley Cyrus in the other hand, is way too young for this role. Cyrus was 19 years old at the time, playing somebody that should had been in their mid-20s. Even, if she's playing a character that supposed to a bit older, it doesn't explain, how her character is so successful. It's clear, that her character never went to college or had any other police/military training, so where did, all her investigating skills came from? Another thing, where did she get all that equipment in the beginning? Her father, Sam? I doubt, it with his gambling troubles. Another problem with her playing Molly, is her look. Her body is such a small frame, and her face, child-like. It's a bit jarring for me, to watch her, act as if she was a badass. I never saw much Jiu Jitsu skills that she bragged about in the beginning. The whole motorcycle scenes really didn't fit, with her character. It was a bit unbelievable. Don't get me wrong, small frame actresses with a 'southern twang' had played pretty convincing FBI agents in the past; like Jodi Foster in 1991's Silent of the Lambs. So it can be done, but sadly Miley Cyrus can't pull it, off. Have you ever heard the whiny noise a cat makes after you've accidentally stepped on it? That's exactly how Miley Cyrus sounds. The rest of the female supporting cast wasn't all better. Most of them, were playing one-dimensional dumb posh blonde stereotypes. They were all somewhat likable, but a bit annoying at times. Megan Park as Cotton Roberts was funny, but her performance was so over-the-top, I couldn't say, it's good. Kelly Osbourne as Becky Slotsky was meh. It's a bit weird for her, to try to do, a Texan accent at first, and then abandoning it, throughout the film, for her normal British voice. She really got annoying, toward the end, with her b*tchy tone. Last, worth noticing is Eloise Mumford as Sasha Stolezinsky/ Suzy Walters who pretty much channeling her best queen bee, Regina George from 2004's Mean Girls, impression. She was a bit too mean-spirited to be a real character. It's not only the acting that's the only weak link, here. The whole movie has problems, like the very predictable and clichés plot. I really didn't like, how the movie like to flashbacks on things, that happen a minute, ago, as if we were too dumb to notice, the minor twists. Anybody with eyes can see it, from a mile, ago. Even the "big twist" can be deciphered halfway through the movie. Despite, not making no sense, afterwards. The action scenes in this film are limited, and not fun to watch. The humor in this movie really falls flat and wasn't funny. The only reason why, anybody would watch this, now is to see what Miley Cyrus look like, before she went overboard with not wanting to be known as Hannah Montana. So Undercover is one of the last film, Miley Cyrus did, before ditching her squeaking clean Disney image. She then, went forward in trading her country-grass singing roots for the over the top, over-sexuality, pixel hair Madonna rip-off pop star delusion persona. It's nice to see her, try to act like a normal person, here, before she gave up, and commits to being a loud, boisterous hypocrite that sleeps with anybody for attention. Overall: This movie is epitome of the recycled garbage produced by the entertainment industry. It's has little to no different, between other teen noirs film & television programs like 2007's Veronica Mars, 2007's Nancy Drew, and last, 2010's Uncovered Princesses. It's so sad, that many teen are still sucked into the hype that this is something new. It isn't. This movie isn't a party in the U.S.A. It was bad. Miley Cyrus's fans might love it, regards what I say, but for me, I don't think, I will rewatch this movie. It's not worth the climb.
pino-kindergarten I watched the movie on a Sunday morning right after a bad night. It cheered me up and that's when I understood that although not great, its message is simple - entertainment. If you are looking for an easy movie, you have arrived at the right choice. Right at the beginning of the film, I got put off the main character. Somewhere in the middle, I fell in love with her. I'm not going to summarize it for you, other people have done it already and I leave it to you to discover by yourself. What I would like to say is that if you are looking for an easy movie to spend a couple of hours, So Undercover is great. It follows the themes of Miss Congeniality and Legally Blonde. If you like any of the them, you will enjoy So Undercover,too.
