OMFG, This campus comedy direct-to-video movie needs to be school on, how to make a successful comedy. It's because this movie is pretty mediocre. Directed by Tom Vaughan, So Undercover tells the story of Molly Morris (Miley Cyrus), a successful private investigator who specializes in adultery cases. Gaining the respect of the FBI; Molly starts working with them under Agent Armon Ranford (Jeremy Piven)'s control. Ranford recruits her, to pose as a transferring sorority sister under the name, Brooke Stonebridge at a New Orleans college in order to cozy up to Alex Patrone (Lauren McKnight), a potential witness in an important Russian mafia investigation. Can Brooke AKA Molly protect Alex from those who are seeking to hurt her, or will the criminals get, what they want for her? Watch the movie to find out, if you really want to! Without spoiling the movie, too much, I have to say, Miley Cyrus's acting skills are so limited and green here. Cyrus's only previous successful work before this; was playing a young singer that has a double life in the 2006-2011's TV show 'Hanna Montana'. Seeing, how much that role mirror her real-life, it's not much, of a stretch in the acting field. She looks so uncomfortable, with her role, here, as if she didn't want to do it, but had to. Miley Cyrus barely had any chemistry with anybody else on screen. Her character's relationship with Nicolas Dexter (Josh Bowman) felt a bit forced. I really didn't see them, falling in love, at all. The only redeeming aspect of the movie is the tender and close relationship between Molly and her father, Sam (Mike O'Malley), but it's far too short. Worst of all, She really look like a fish out of water, big time, when she's acting with the much, much superior actor in Jeremy Piven. Who, by the way, gives a hell of a performance, here! I really surprised, how much work, he really put in, into his role and not phone it, in. He really outshine his co-star, Cyrus. Miley Cyrus in the other hand, is way too young for this role. Cyrus was 19 years old at the time, playing somebody that should had been in their mid-20s. Even, if she's playing a character that supposed to a bit older, it doesn't explain, how her character is so successful. It's clear, that her character never went to college or had any other police/military training, so where did, all her investigating skills came from? Another thing, where did she get all that equipment in the beginning? Her father, Sam? I doubt, it with his gambling troubles. Another problem with her playing Molly, is her look. Her body is such a small frame, and her face, child-like. It's a bit jarring for me, to watch her, act as if she was a badass. I never saw much Jiu Jitsu skills that she bragged about in the beginning. The whole motorcycle scenes really didn't fit, with her character. It was a bit unbelievable. Don't get me wrong, small frame actresses with a 'southern twang' had played pretty convincing FBI agents in the past; like Jodi Foster in 1991's Silent of the Lambs. So it can be done, but sadly Miley Cyrus can't pull it, off. Have you ever heard the whiny noise a cat makes after you've accidentally stepped on it? That's exactly how Miley Cyrus sounds. The rest of the female supporting cast wasn't all better. Most of them, were playing one-dimensional dumb posh blonde stereotypes. They were all somewhat likable, but a bit annoying at times. Megan Park as Cotton Roberts was funny, but her performance was so over-the-top, I couldn't say, it's good. Kelly Osbourne as Becky Slotsky was meh. It's a bit weird for her, to try to do, a Texan accent at first, and then abandoning it, throughout the film, for her normal British voice. She really got annoying, toward the end, with her b*tchy tone. Last, worth noticing is Eloise Mumford as Sasha Stolezinsky/ Suzy Walters who pretty much channeling her best queen bee, Regina George from 2004's Mean Girls, impression. She was a bit too mean-spirited to be a real character. It's not only the acting that's the only weak link, here. The whole movie has problems, like the very predictable and clichés plot. I really didn't like, how the movie like to flashbacks on things, that happen a minute, ago, as if we were too dumb to notice, the minor twists. Anybody with eyes can see it, from a mile, ago. Even the "big twist" can be deciphered halfway through the movie. Despite, not making no sense, afterwards. The action scenes in this film are limited, and not fun to watch. The humor in this movie really falls flat and wasn't funny. The only reason why, anybody would watch this, now is to see what Miley Cyrus look like, before she went overboard with not wanting to be known as Hannah Montana. So Undercover is one of the last film, Miley Cyrus did, before ditching her squeaking clean Disney image. She then, went forward in trading her country-grass singing roots for the over the top, over-sexuality, pixel hair Madonna rip-off pop star delusion persona. It's nice to see her, try to act like a normal person, here, before she gave up, and commits to being a loud, boisterous hypocrite that sleeps with anybody for attention. Overall: This movie is epitome of the recycled garbage produced by the entertainment industry. It's has little to no different, between other teen noirs film & television programs like 2007's Veronica Mars, 2007's Nancy Drew, and last, 2010's Uncovered Princesses. It's so sad, that many teen are still sucked into the hype that this is something new. It isn't. This movie isn't a party in the U.S.A. It was bad. Miley Cyrus's fans might love it, regards what I say, but for me, I don't think, I will rewatch this movie. It's not worth the climb.

The story goes like this: Molly is a private investigator who is hired by FBI to protect a girl. And so she has to become a sorority member in order to be close to her and discover who is set to kill her. While reading the description of the film one can not fail to be intrigued to watch it. It sounds fun and entertaining, maybe a little thrilling. And at the beginning, it brings you the feeling that the movie not be just a comedy for teenagers, but it will present a deeper perspective of the characters and their lives. However that feeling soon is being corrected, as the rest of the movie is about sororities, girl problems and teenage love stories. Not even about spying. The performances were bad and the script didn't help them improve. And so, because of all that I am rating this movie with a 2 out of 10.

The box touts that Miley Cyrus is a "tough as nails, street smart private investigator.", so naturally there's a need for a HUGE suspension of disbelief going in to 'So Undercover'. That said, Cyrus really does have a more mature bearing than one would expect fresh off of a teeny bopper show like 'Hannah Montana'. I don't know that anyone is going to buy her as a P.I., but she does pull off street smart with enough credibility to make it work.'So Undercover' is occasionally amusing fluff, and though she's no Meryl Streep, Miley Cyrus makes for a likable and energetic lead in a film that is often neither itself.

Well this is a must see really great movie! it is well thought out and well planned! Miley who played Molly/Brook went undercover for a man who claimed he was with the FBI. But then it takes a surprising turn! I loved that the Kappa girls or as they would call themselves sisters helped out and came together to help out a fellow sister...well now you all see the saying never leave a man behind well in this case they never left a sister behind!...I also loved that Nicholas stuck with her although she smacked him for what he didn't know about some boys wouldn't go near girls after all that!! she also never left the kappa after she finished the job!
