Rating: Summary: The Movie to Watch When You Are Feeling Blue Review: 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.
Rating: Summary: Really Cute Movie Review: I caught this movie on TV by accident. But it was great. I'm not a fan of Dennis Quade but he does a great performance in this one. It's a great super spy spoof and I plan on buying it.
Rating: Summary: "Comedy is about Comedy" Review: This is a decent movie, made so much better by the tremendous cast and a director who obviously allowed them to be funny. Quaid is at his best (having fun) in this movie, and Turner provides a solid, steadying (perhaps maternal?) force. (For a token review cliche, let me say) The real gold in this treasure, though, is found in so many surprise performances. Stanley Tucci (genuis) displays his versatility as a physical comedian, and his partner in crime is played by the very funny Dave Chappelle. It is hysterical to watch Tucci unravel throughout the movie in his growing frustration with the Blues. Larry Miller is in his usual funny "character role" accept this one has a some sort of lisping, old aristocratic southern drawl. Tom Arnold is his usual numbskull self playing the more hyper half of a couple who is staying in the same hotel as the Blues. This movie will be fun for anybody at any age, and it is one that - for the price - nobody would be ashamed to have in their collection.
Rating: Summary: very funny movie! Review: The things I like about this movie, are the way the main couple keep their cool at all times. In addition, they are always in control of the situations that come up. I love the parts where Mommy is showing baby daughter, her Dad foiling bank robbers! All in all, good clean fun.
Rating: Summary: "Is it a boy or a girl?" "Gee, I hope so!" Review: Such a crack up! You have no idea how hard it is to get this movie in Australia, which is strange because it is so good! The script is good, the lines and delivery are very clever, and the plot is ok... There is no bad words- as far as I remember- and it is not one of those over-the-top stupid-try-to-be-funny kid films. 'Morty' is also so funny! His girly scream is... well, you have to see it! :)
Rating: Summary: Funny, entertaining, light hearthearted Review: Very enjoyable! I am glad I am able to order a second copy for my grownn kids who borrow mine all the time. I second most of the other reviews here - where was the sequel?
Rating: Summary: undercover blues Review: First of all with all the garbage available on DVD why isn't this great comedy?! I loved watching it and my family adores it. Your Amazon reviewer Marshall Fine, did he even see the movie? It is quite obvious throughout the film that it is a girl baby(Jane Louise or Louise Jane). Everybody else loves the film.
Rating: Summary: Witty, adult comedy Review: I discovered this movie by accident at the video store one day and fell in love with it. Kathleen Turner and Dennis Quaid are a perfect couple. Witty, charming, and great to look at. The story is funny and the acting is clever and tongue-in-cheek. This is comedy that harkens back to the days of Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn. Stanley Tucci is great as a bungling bad-guy named Muerte. It's grown-up comedy without the vulgarity and sex of movies made today. Add to it a great New Orleans jazz-style musical score, and you have a terrific package. It would make a dynamite TV series!
Rating: Summary: True Blue Comedy!! Review: This is a great comedy for any audience. The lack of profanity in the film (unlike many more recent films) makes it one of the best non-animated family films of all in my book. In my opinion, Fine has no sense of humor. My only disappointment is that it has not been released on DVD.
Rating: Summary: "Mrs. Blue, do you have a comment?" "Not at this time..." Review: I think the unfortunate thing about Marshall Fine's review of this movie is that he didn't watch it closely enough to know that the Blues' baby is a daughter, not a son. Perhaps he expected High Cinema and instead got simply a good, funny movie. Dennis Quaid and Kathleen Turner have a wonderful chemistry as Jeff and Jane Blue, Fiona Shaw is perfect as the evil Novacek, Obba Babbatunde and Larry Miller are delightful as the hapless detectives, Park Overall and Tom Arnold are great as the "normal" couple, and Stanly Tucci absolutely steals every scene as Muerte ("as in Death") the would-be mugger. Park your brain at the door, grab the popcorn, kick back, and enjoy this little gem of a movie.
