So Undercover (2012)

Awesome Movie

As Good As It Gets

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

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!

RELEASED IN 2012 and directed by Tom Vaughan, "So Undercover" stars Miley Cyrus as a teen private investigator who's hired by an FBI agent (Jeremy Piven) to go undercover at a sorority. Mike O'Malley plays her dad, Josh Bowman her potential beau and Matthew Settle her professor. This was my first exposure to Miley as an actress (I've never seen Hanna Montana, for instance) and she's effective for this kind of role, a formidable no-nonsense detective with wit and feminine charisma. I'm not a fan of hers in any sense, but she's easily the most all-around attractive female in the cast, which is saying a lot since the events take place at a sorority. Or perhaps it's saying that the rest of the female cast is subpar as far as sex appeal goes. Other than that, they're all just fine. Bottom Line: This is a fun detective drama/adventure at a university highlighted by Cyrus as the protagonist; nothing more, but nothing less. The movie runs 94 minutes and was shot entirely in Louisiana. Writers: Allan Loeb & Steven Pearl. ADDITIONAL CAST: Eloise Mumford (Sasha), Megan Park (Cotton), Lauren McKnight (Alex), Kelly Osbourne (Becky), Alexis Knapp (Taylor) and Morgan Calhoun (Hunter). GRADE: B-

I rented this because on a typical Sat night at the red box, all other movies were gone. My child once loved all movies with Miley Cyrus so why not. At first, I judge it and thought this movie sucks, but actually it turned out to be a good rental. Got a few laughs and has a lot of familiar characters. The girl who plays Grace on Secret Life is in it, the guy who plays Daniel from Revenge, the dad from Gossip Girl are also in the movie. I would say if you have a teenage/preteen girl who still likes Miley go ahead and check it out. I actually could see the potential for a sequel and probably would watch it. Miley plays a girl named Molly who goes undercover for the FBI and goes to college for the mission. Her dad in the movie is actually the guy who plays Jimmy in Yes Dear. I say give it a shot.

In 2000 Sandra Bullock took on the role as Gracie Hart in Miss Congeniality as an FBI agent who has to protect a former contestant from a guy who is trying to kill the hostage that Bullock was protecting. Fast forward in 2012 and Miley Cyrus who I swear is morphing into Lindsay Lohan plays Molly Sims in the not so great but still worth checking out flick SO Undercover. The movie was suppose to be SO BAD it got straight to DVD in the states when it was released.Molly Sims is an average teenager who's dad played by Glee's Mike O Malley used to be a PI but retired due to addiction to gambling. So Molly tracks down love rats and uses a camera to get the love rats who are cheating on their wives. Molly soon meets a FBI agent played by Jeremy Piven who starred in Chasing Liberty with Mandy Moore and Miss Selfridge as the title charcther and hires Molly to go undercover as a college student called Brooke Stonebridge and protect a girl who has connects with the Russian Mafia.So complete with a makeover she goes to college and later has problems of her own when she falls for a cute guy called Nicolas. So all Molly has to figure out is who is after the girl that she is protecting and why??. It could be Cotton,that girl that Molly met after Cotton,the guy Nicolas or could it be someone from outside the college?Overall it was an OK film,in fact I prefer The Last Song as I thought Cyrus was A lot better in that film than here and she doesn't really fit the whole FBI scenario,for a whining teenager YES as an FBI agent NO. The story here is like a carbon copy of Miss Congeniality and it wasn't really THAT funny. Miss Congeniality was A lot better than this teen friendly version. But still it was alright,not the best Miley Cyrus movie but still worth seeing.Also I was kinda shocked over who the culprit was all along I was like are you kidding me THAT person was over it HUH??Still if you like Miley Cyrus then check it out,if not avoid.
