Sadly Over-hyped
hyped garbage
n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

View MoreRELEASED 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-
View MoreSo, you gotta lower your expectations for this one. It's a Movie that's obviously made for teenagers aged 10-19. Miley Cyrus performance in this Movie was good, her acting is pretty well, even though sometimes she's underacting and sometimes overacting she still does a pretty good job. So Undercover is not much of an action Movie, more of a Comedy and mostly a drama. LOL was a good Movie, but it had no story. This one has, and i gotta say i was entertained even though i'm a guy. For this Movie i Think it's mostly a chick-flick but teenage boys can also watch this Movie. It's a Movie for all genders. And i Think teenagers will have a great time, while more adult individuals will Think this Movie is lame. But that's what this Movie is made for, teenagers. So you gotta turn off ur brain for a while and just enjoy the Movie.
View MoreIn 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.
View MoreWhen I went to watch this movie, I had pretty low expectations because of its rating of 4,2 here on IMDb. I was surprised to find out it is not as bad as I thought it would be.This is not one of those unforgettable movies that get stuck in your head for about a week, but it is not trash either.Miley is not terrible here. Her character is a little too plain and I wish there was more depth to it, but that is the writer's fault, not hers. Her acting is okay.The story itself is interesting. There are some unexpected plot twists that make the movie not as bad as it could be.If you're looking for a light movie that still has some mystery, action, comedy and romance, this might be the right movie for you. It is definitely nothing special, but it is not as weak as it is made out to be.
