Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
... View MoreI saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.
... View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
... View MoreThere are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
... View MoreKathleen Turner and Dennis Quaid are OK as Jane and Jeff Blue in "Undercover Blues." But that's not saying much for a comedy. Their fight scenes and other antics invoke a smile, but the humor soon wears off with these repeated incidents. The film would fast fade into boredom but for one thing. It's not hard to notice that Stanley Tucci's character, Muerte, is what keeps this comedy caper going after the first 10 minutes. His is a very funny role that provides most of the laughter. And Tucci plays it to the hilt. Muerte delivers on his contracts – even if it takes years. The hit man is the only thing that keeps this film from being a flop.
... View MoreSomehow I missed this film when it first came out; watched it on a cable channel recently and it must've been cleaned up as I did not note any filthy language, which I greatly appreciate (who needs it?). I thought it was great fun and found myself laughing out loud several times. The principal players were delightful and had good chemistry. I can't get over the versatility of Stanley Tucci; he never ceases to amaze me and this time was no exception; his depiction of a street thug was particularly entertaining. Larry Miller was charmingly hilarious as was his sidekick. The baby was adorable. The cinematography and plot scenes were a nice travelogue of New Orleans. All in all, I highly recommend this movie for a fun night!
... View MoreKathleen Turner has been, since I first remember her, a solid actress that is great in serious and excels too in comedy roles, but this is a little slice of family Heaven! A Government.agent in the field, with a husband and a baby too. Oh, yeah the husband is an operative as well. The fun is just beginning! talk about a super-fun story that is propelled by great actors and actresses, this is carried by firstly, Dennis Quaid and Stanley Tucci, along with the hilarious Larry Miller, a New Orleans Detective, (well known for his college Dean roles in the Nutty Professor I and II). Stanley is fit to be tied, as a major force for evil. He is 'Death' or in Spanish Matar, but is called Muerte'. He is a seriously dangerous underworld street rat! Very scary!! Muerte' is the eyes and ears of the streets, and in that he operates throughout Orleans. Then there's Dennis Quaid. Mr Blues, he brings so much 'energy' to this part it's amazing!! Johnny on the spot in the spy business is Quaid's 'Blues' Dennis just takes over, surrounding this tale of underworld street rats and spies with his very clever wit and killer humor and speed along with sprite-strength. He is unstoppable in this movie! I laughed and so did the friends that went with me to see this fun-paced undercover action-adventure. Kathleen Turner and Stanley Tucci and Dennis Quaid make this a real treat. I recommend this as a super comedy, being somewhat hard-to-please I can recommend this without hesitation to any friend with a good sense of comedy!!Movies like this don't come along often. (*****)
... View MoreThis movie is hilarious! It isn't dumb humor like several movies. It is so funny that I'm laughing just thinking about the scenes. This movie is a #10 and don't let the rating fool you! Anyone giving this lower than a 9 isn't a comedy fan at all! Give it a chance!!!!The couple is fun and such a match. The laughter comes at the most unexpected moments.I loved the New Orleans scenery, along with the music. The actors/actresses were wonderful! They have great chemistry and Morty makes the movie! Surprises at every corner, also! There's romance, mystery, comedy, and action!
