So Undercover (2012)
8/10
A fun little film
30 April 2022
I don't get the hate this movie gets. Sure it wasn't the greatest or most original movie ever made, but I thought it was a fun little film. So Undercover follows The film follows Molly (Miley Cyrus), a tough, street-smart private eye who is hired by the FBI to go undercover in a college sorority. It's your basic tomboy girl who has to fit in with a group of college girly girls to solve a crime. Miley Cyrus does a good job as the lead in a more adult/ teen comedy, and you can tell that she was trying really hard to get away from the Hanna Montana Label. While I thought all the other girls did a good job, too, Alexis Knapp steals the show as Taylor. Alexis basically plays Taylor just like Stacie from Pitch Perfect, as the pretty and sexually active college girl. However, as someone who loved Pitch Perfect, I loved seeing Alexis in this type of role again. Especially since Stacie often got placed in the background in Pitch Perfect. She also had some of the funniest one-liners in the movie, such as "they are so lucky they had bad childhoods" and "You are so pretty I want to kill you. I think about killing you all the time." Also, her joke about the neck message and getting caught exercising naked was hilarious. The one weakness of the film is that, at times, the plot gets pushed to the back and that it really isn't that interesting in comparison to Molly just hanging out with the girls. However, it is a comedy, and it's probably best not to think too much about the plot. With that said, I would say ignore the haters and watch this one for yourself if you need a good laugh.
