Kathleen Turner and Dennis Quaid are OK as Jane and Jeff Blue in "Undercover Blues." But that's not saying much for a comedy. Their fight scenes and other antics invoke a smile, but the humor soon wears off with these repeated incidents. The film would fast fade into boredom but for one thing. It's not hard to notice that Stanley Tucci's character, Muerte, is what keeps this comedy caper going after the first 10 minutes. His is a very funny role that provides most of the laughter. And Tucci plays it to the hilt. Muerte delivers on his contracts – even if it takes years. The hit man is the only thing that keeps this film from being a flop.

A husband and wife team of ex-Spies arrive in New Orleans on maternity leave with their baby girl. TBut they are hassled by muggers, the police and their FBI boss, who wants them to do just-one-more job.....I don't know what this film is,and why it exists, but it does and its a really strange film. Quaid and Turner have been kidnapped, and been replaced by robots who have no personality and spout out inane one liners one after the other.They become embroiled in some set up or another featuring Fiona Shaw with a silly accent, and all the while being chased by a wonderfully silly Tucci who wants revenge on Quaid because of a foiled mugging.The film tries to be clever, but ends up just too weird for its own good. It's too dark for family viewing, but it's just too silly and immature for its target audience.When this was released, Quaid and Turners stars were fading, and films like this didn't help them.Well worth missing.

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!

I could watch this film over and over! Stanley Tucci takes stereotype to hilarious new heights. Quaid is cute and never falters from his role, and Kathleen Turner... what can one say. Her voice alone should be recorded for phone sex lines. The plot is so contrived that it adds to the comedy, and the Eastern European villain is delicious. She affects an accent that is worthy of an academy award (Meryl Streep got one for "Sophia's Choice," didn't she?). Park Overall is under-rated in everything she does, and she is an excellent foil for the Blue's hi-jinx. Even the baby has some great scenes. I loved the backdrop of New Orleans, my favorite city in the US, and I even recognized several spots. If you like goofy, stupid cops (who ultimately serve a purpose), a plot and a script that bow to the gods of humor, and some excellent comedic acting, this is a movie you shouldn't miss. I can only hope that someone realizes the genius of this movie and puts it on DVD, 'cause my video cassette is wearing out!
