Rating: Summary: should be a cult classic Review: If it isn't in your video library already, it ought to be. Funny, clever, consistent, and just a little over the top, this flick had me laughing until my sides hurt, and I'm a hard sell. A caution: the word f--- is used once.
Rating: Summary: Great entertainment -- top notch humor and action Review: Watch "Undercover Blues" and meet an amiable husband and wife spy team (played by Turner and Quaid) who are on leave in New Orleans soon after the birth of their first child. Turner is a crack shot and master of disguise, and Quaid is, well, he's just a bit cracked. Along the way Quaid meets up with a local wanna-be bad guy (played by Tucci - the hidden jewel of the movie!) who calls himself "Muerte," and their paths continue to cross throughout the movie. The scenes with Muerte provide laugh-out loud comic relief. You'll love their first meeting -- including the knife fight.Well, it's not long before Quaid and Turner are called back into service to take care of a potential international incident involving former eastern block intelligence agents and smuggled military secrets, among other things. This part of the story is pretty ho-hum, but Muerte keeps things hopping. You'll also enjoy the good old time that they have with the New Orleans Police! Great fun. This movie is definitely worth 5-stars for fun, but other aspects of the storyline drop the overall score to around 4 stars. My favorite line is when a police lt. says to Quaid, "You think you're smarter than us don't you!?" Quaid responds, "Oh, not much." Have a great day....
Rating: Summary: glad it's finally on DVD! Review: Wow, this is one of my favorite funny movies, no matter what the critics say!! It's obvious that other viewers feel the same. I've watched it many times since the first time I saw it 9 years ago, and always laugh 'till my sides hurt. The way Turner and Quaid interact is great, and I love the people they meet throughout the movie (such as Morty I mean Muerte). The music is great, and I like the New Orleans scenery. I'm always quoting these lines: "That's funny" "Funny ha-ha or funny strange?" Buy it and enjoy!!
Rating: Summary: My name is muerte . . . Morty. Review: I have been waiting for a long time for this movie to come out on DVD. I almost gave up hope but then, it is here. As the other reviews have already said this movie is incredibly funny. But what brings it home to my kind is the references it makes towards the LARP group out thier. Come on you have all met the "Mr. big shot" who has based everything on his name. In this case we have Meurte (it means death, I kill you) Who is tron to pieces by a non-chalant Blue. The comedy is intense, so get out of the hollow mountain and buy yourself a copy.
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.
