Undercover Blues (1993)

Very disappointed :(

ridiculous rating

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Somehow 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!

This movie is one of our family favorites. We rented it one day and bought it the next. Dennis Quaid is at his smarmy, sarcastic best in "Undercover Blues". I've never been much of a Kathleen Turner fan, but she plays well off of Quaid, and their banter is funny, engaging and witty. The star of the movie is indeed Stanley Tucci, as the bumbling Muerte. I've never hear any guy scream as funny as Tucci when he's in trouble. I am sad that this movie has the obligatory "F" bomb, because it wasn't needed to further the plot or help with character development. If you want to laugh out loud with your friends or family at a movie night at home with pizza and sodas, this is the movie to watch.

Jeff and Jane Blue (Dennis Quaid, Kathleen Turner) are retired spies vacationing in New Orleans. Jane just had a baby girl and they want to raise her in a normal environment. However they're called in to a case they can't resist and get involved with terrorists and Muerte (Stanley Tucci) who's out to kill them.Light, breezy and just LOTS of fun. It's a combination mystery/thriller and comedy with the accent on comedy. Quaid and Turner turn up the charisma and smile nonstop through this movie even when they're fighting the villains. They work very well together and effortlessly throw off some very funny one liners with ease. The movie almost never takes itself seriously which is precisely why it works so well. Also it was shot in New Orleans which adds color to the story. The script is also great--as I said before it has VERY funny one liners and also throws in the mystery occasionally. The only misstep is Fiona Shaw as the villain Novocek--she overacts horribly and is not even remotely funny. Also I could have lived without seeing her and Turner mud wrestling. But those are minor points here.This came out in 1993 and was dumped by the studio. The critics savaged it (I still can't figure out why) and it quickly faded away. I was one of the few people to actually see it in a theatre and loved it. It still holds up over 10 years later. Another great movie awaiting rediscovery.

an awful lot of fun. it is a shame they did not make a sequel the chemistry of quaid and turner reminds me of Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepard in moonlighting and nick and Nora Charles as played my William Powell and Myrna Loy in " the thin man" series of classic husband and wife comedy romance and danger.quaid always delivers a good performance but he excels in this with a comedic flair that is delivered with superb and appearing effortless timing. turner is solid. Stanley tucci is excellent as a local hoodlum and even the chief spy is well cast. a great romp.*******enjoy. this is a fun movie.
