Dennis Lipscomb, Dennis Quaid, Fiona Shaw

When fun-loving American agents Dennis Quaid and Kathleen Turner are called back from maternity leave for a special assignment in New Orleans, the spy parents decide to skip the sitter and give their ...( read more  read more... )bouncing baby girl the adventure of a lifetime. There's nothing to the dumb story about a deadly arms dealer (Fiona Shaw) in the Louisiana Bayou, but you'd be hard put to find a friskier pair of doting parents. Quaid is all dimpled grins and cocky cool and Turner is the most maternal martial arts mom you've ever seen, but Stanley Tucci almost steals the film as the hot-blooded threat thug Morty ("That’s Muerte!"). His macho mission of vengeance becomes pure slapstick silliness punctuated by girlish squeals of alarm. Dumb? Sure, but the deft comic direction of Herbert Ross and bubbly chemistry of Quaid and Turner make Undercover Blues far more fun that it should be. --Sean Axmaker

    Nothing special, just a 1-and-a-half-hour movie someone should watch when looking for pure fun. I'm not a particular fan of Dennis Quaid -in fact he pisses me off- and he didn't prove much more in this movie. Stanley Tucci, however, is rather brilliant. The story line is rather f...( read more)lat and semi-mildly interesting and missing this movie won't bring about a change in your life, but aside from that, the insanely comical traits make it a movie worth watching to kill time. And it rather is a love-it-or-hate-it film.

    Come on! You'd mess with a guy pretentious enough to call himself El Muerte wouldn't you?

    I remember all the crazy quotes me and my boyfriend used to say to each other from this movie, so much fun :D

    I thought this film was not needed. I wouldn't call this one of Dennis Quaid's best performances. The story was lacking something and I found it kind of boring.
