Mademoiselle Détective

Forget the critics and what you think you know about Miley Cyrus...she delivered a great performance in this light and funny movie. This is an entertainment. It doesn't try to be anything it isn't...it is what entertaining movies should be. It's funny, well acted...maybe a little convoluted, but it keeps you guessing anyways. We enjoyed it

Alright, well I must say that I can't claim to be overly familiar with Miley Cyrus's former work, aside from the occasional zapping across her Hannah Montana stuff on TV, and knowing that she sings as well. And I didn't realize that she was in this movie before I started to question whether or not it was actually her whilst she was doing the stunts on the hotel balconies.

That being said, then you shouldn't be intimidated or scared away from watching "So Undercover" just because Miley Cyrus is in it, because the girl can actually act, and she does have a certain charm to her as well.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, because it was fun, and it was well put together, and the story was interesting enough, despite it being a late teenage comedy. But Jeremy Piven and Mike O'Malley also helped the movie along quite nicely.

Forget about Hannah Montana and try not to let the overshadowing stereotype that Miley Cyrus is stuck in overcast your opinion when you watch this movie, because it is actually a great fun ride for people of all ages.

Here it is, March 2020, and everyone is self-isolating to stem the tide of COVID-19 infections. I found this on YouTube free streaming movies. While I am not really a big Cyrus fan I find her curious, and find that she is a very capable actress. Filming started right after she turned 18.

I started watching out of curiosity but kept watching because it is filmed in New Orleans, in many places I am familiar with. Tulane University, Audubon Park, St. Charles Avenue, Cafe du Monde, and a host of other places I know. Miley Cyrus is Molly who is hired to attend classes and join a sorority in New Orleans, to operate as an undercover investigator called Brooke.

I found the movie overall to be a bit better than its current IMDb rating of "5" would indicate. It is a well made movie with a good cast and while some of the situations are not plausible there are a few funny ones and the overall 90 minute viewing is entertaining.

I am fully aware that this movie isn't great and has a cheesy script and a stupid storyline and all that. However, sometimes it's just fun to watch a movie because of the person starring in it. And in this case, Miley Cyrus makes it enjoyable (in my opinion) to watch. There are also just a few side characters that are funny, like Cotton, who make the movie a great laugh. Once again, don't watch this movie for anything serious or thought-provoking. It's simply a silly, superficial comedy. Enjoy it for what it is.

Want a date night movie that you can have fun with? Okay - Miley Cyrus's acting leaves something to be desired. But - it's just a fun time. And a real whodunnit. You'll enjoy the other performances and get a taste of Greek Life at a private (expensive) college. Don't believe the haters...
