Movie Reviews of Undercover Blues
Movie Review: Favorite Guilty Pleasure
Summary: 5 Stars
It is what it is. This is a nice family comedy where you can take the whole family and not get embarrassed with sudden nudity or really foul language.
This is a great spy spoof. In a world where spy movies show the man as smart, strong, perfect and the woman as a ditz or always getting into trouble, this is a gem. You get a married couple, who actually love each other, where a slightly older women catches a younger man and they decide to focus on their family. Oh how horrible!!!
Kathleen Turner and Dennis Quaid (definitely under-rated) are likeable with great chemistry. Stanely Tucci steals each scene he is in with his desparate desire to be considered "Death". After watching this movie 5 times, that still gets me. Obba Babatudnde as the overzealous and clueless police LT is a great patsy foil against the Blues. Yes, the story line could have been a tad tighter. However, this is one time where the actors rose of above the material and delivered a Gem!
The movie also benefits from some great supporting actors: Dave Chappelle as Muerte's side kick, Larry Miller as the patsy's patsy and Fiona Shaw as the villaness. A toned down Tom Arnold appears with Park Overall as tourists who shares their vacation with the Blues.
All in all, it is not an Oscar winner. Just thorough entertainment!
Movie Review: I love this film. Stanley Tucci plays a great loser!
Summary: 5 Stars
I happened across this film on a cable network that will remain anonymous. I saw that Kathleen Turner and Dennis Quaid were in it, and it was a comedy, so I watched it. All I can say is....I laughed my butt off! I was shocked because I had never heard of this film. It must have been made and send directly to video, although that's no indication of it's quality."My name...is Muerte!" The supposedly streetwise thug played by Tucci says when he mugs his victims. Morty, as Quaid calls him, meets his match when he meets ex-CIA, ex-FBI agent Jeff (played by Quaid).
On vacation after the birth of their first child, Quaid and Turner go to New Orleans to enjoy some good food and music, but end up getting pulled back into service of the government when a terrorist organization is trying to buy up a lot of an experimental high explosive.
The action is good, and the comedy even better. There is no adult humor in this film, so it's suitable for even younger children, although the fight scenes might be a bit much for very young kids.
If you like any of the actors in this film, or just like comedy, you should pick this up, it's one of the best comedies out there.
Movie Review: A very enjoyable movie
Summary: 5 Stars
When Jane and Jefferson Blue arrive in New Orleans, the locals have no idea what has hit them. Though they are exactly what they appear, a couple of young professionals hitting the Big Easy to kick back and have a good time, they are actually more than that. In fact, the Blues are a couple of spies taking a well-deserved maternity leave, and their idea of fun leaves the local police flabbergasted!
I must admit, this is one of my all-time favorite movies. Kathleen Turner and Dennis Quaid share an on-screen chemistry that completely steals the movie away, taking what might otherwise be nothing more than a silly romp and making it a real fun and romantic experience. Stanley Tucci makes a good counterpoint to the Blues, playing the role of the frustrated and out-classed mugger, Muerte, to its hilarious hilt.
This is a very enjoyable movie, one that is filled with fun and action and Kathleen Turner and Dennis Quaid. Who could ask for more?
(Review of Undercover Blues starring Kathleen Turner and Dennis Quaid)
Movie Review: The Movie to Watch When You Are Feeling Blue
Summary: 5 Stars
There are great epic movies that rate 5 stars.There are also movies that are just plain fun to watch.
This is one of those.
Picture James Bond marrying a female agent that is his match.
Picture them having a baby and taking "temporary retirement" during their baby's early years.
Picture two muggers trying to mug James Bond while he is carrying the baby, and other situations that call for this couple to show their skills.
Picture a situtation that forces "the agency" to bring this couple back in -- baby and all -- while they continue their New Orleans vacation as a cover.
The tongue-in-cheek Undercover Blues is our favorite just-fun-to-watch movie. This is a movie that gets its laughs from cleverness rather than slapstick and stupidity.
My wife and I hearitily recommomend it to anyone who needs a light way to spend a couple of hours.
We are so delighted this is coming to DVD. We have worn out our VHS tape.
Movie Review: Funny BLUES
Summary: 5 Stars
What do i think of Undercover Blues? Think of the Thin Man movies with Spies, Hart to Hart with violence, Mcmillian & Wife with a child, Mrs & Mrs Smith (Brad & Anjie's Film)without the overused gun play--well you get the idea
Denis Quaid And Kathleen Turner play Jeff and Jane Blues. Jane just had a baby. So they are on Prenatal leave (read it as RETIREMENT) to watch their daughter grow up. However the idea od retirement cant keep good agents down, especially when Muerte (Great comic relief by Stanley Tucci) keeps trying to kill the Blues. Character actors Tom Arnold & Park Overall play friends who dont know the Blues are spies.
Herbert Ross directed this movie with a sense of wit about it. In the hands of others, the cute charm of this romantic comedy would be lost on other directors
so if you want a cute action comedy, get this one
