So Undercover starring Miley Cyrus: Review


Miley returns to the big-screen in this feel good flick about a private eye turned sorority girl..

So what’s it about then?
Teen private-eye Molly is hired by the FBI to go undercover in a college sorority – despite the fact she’s happier riding a motorbike in converse than making girlfriends and wearing high heels. Think Miss Congieniality meets Mean Girls.
Anyone good in it?
A pre-haircut Miley Cyrus plays Molly, and oh how we’ve missed her on the big screen. Kelly Osbourne also makes an appearance as Molly’s English roomate, and HOT DAMN HE’S GORGEOUS Joshua Bowman fills the role of ‘love interest.’
If it won any Oscars they would be for…
There’s actually a fairly good twist at the end of the film – and it’s not as predictable as we’d orignally expected. If you’re looking for a cinematic experience with some depth and meaning, this probably isn’t the film for you. If this were a food, it would be candy-floss; sweet, light – but not much substance.
But these bits should have been left on the cutting room floor:
There are some TOE CURLINGLY cringey moments that had us reaching for the sick bucket, and we’d have preferred the film without such a large side order of cheese. The soppy ‘we’re sisters’ scenes for example, were a little overdone.
Topless moments?
DEVASTATINGLY, the hot hot Josh Bowman does not remove his top at any point in this film. It’s probably best you prepare yourselves for that now, actually, because from the minute he appears on screen – you’ll want a glimpse of his nipples. Sigh.
Actual ‘ohmygod I nearly wet myself laughing’ bits?
We’re going to be honest here – we laughed A LOT. There’s hilarious one-liners dropping every 2 minutes, and sorority gal Cotton is comedy gold – even if she is clearly based very heavily on Mean Girl’s Karen. Molly pointing a gun at the sorority sisters who try to surprise her one night had us chuckling into our popcorn buckets for quite some time too.
Face-covering from fear bits?


Being a private investigator means that Molly finds herself in some pretty sticky situations – and being the absolute wimps that we are, we were a little tense at points. MYSTERIOUS SHADOWS ON WALLS ARE FREAKY AS SH*T, OK? But no, it’s not a scary one.
Notes from the fashion police: 
We can’t actually decide which Miley look we like more – the casual jeans and flannel top combo, or some of the ‘sorority-style’ dresses she wears while undercover. It’s a dilemma, people.

After watching this, on the manly-man scale (of Louis Tomlinson – Sylvester Stallone) we felt like:Adam Lambert. He paints his nails but he could still kick our ass.
Overall verdict: 8/10. A funny, feel-good flick that does exactly what it says on the tin.
