When the FBI hires her to go undercover at a college sorority, Molly Morris (Miley Cyrus) must transform herself from a tough, streetwise private investigator to a refined, sophisticated university girl to help protect the daughter of a one-time Mobster. With several suspects on her list, Molly unexpectedly discovers that not everyone is who they appear to be, including herself.

So, Three Word Reviewer says my summary says it all! Miley, who is so out there, and so in front of all of us, like way more than what we want (tmi, Miley) is undercover! As a sorority girl, no less! Has Miley even gone to college? Does she need to? First, we're asked to believe that Miley is a private eye--more or less, someone that snaps pix of cheating couples, all in support of poor old dad, who is a boozing, gambling shell of himself since he got kicked off the police force. He's trying to get back in somehow, by being a bottom feeder private eye. Then, we're asked to believe that the FBI has seen her stellar work as a teen photog in truck stop diners, and they desperately need her to infiltrate a sorority house to help some sorority chick whose daddy is a mob boss. They're willing to pay her big bucks, which of course she has to take because old boozing daddy just lost a bucket at the racetrack. THEN, we're asked to believe that after oh what, ten minutes, no, I'll be generous, a half day of FBI training, tough-talking, motorcycle-riding Miley is ready to be a sorority girl. This is of course, a transformation, a la Eliza Doolittle, because we all know sorority girls are all the same, and they all talk, like, so unbelievably real. And they're all bitches...and dumb...and vain. (But secretly majoring in chemistry). So yeah, the story makes no sense, and it's not supposed to.It's your fault-you chose to see this movie, knowing that Miley Cyrus is a private eye that becomes an FBI agent, posing as a sorority girl. And yeah, you'd have a right to be mad if you walked into this movie not knowing that. But odds are, you knew that walking in. And so, since you knew that...guess what?? It's not that bad! She's likable...yes, I said it. And she's a better actress than Britney or Mariah. The movie is fun. You can't be mad, because it's not a serious movie. Yes, you can be mad when you are ready for a serious movie, and there are plot holes galore. But this is not a serious movie, nor does it pretend to be. So, sit back, be entertained, and don't worry about the plot holes-worry about plot holes for a serious movie. It plays, don't think about it, watch it when you're hungover and need mindless entertainment. Because that is how it works. And the Miley in this movie is the Miley we want to know...it's not a star vehicle, she doesn't sing, and she really doesn't overact. Honestly, I can see a future for the girl if she ever wants to bust out some serious acting chops.

I rented this because on a typical Sat night at the red box, all other movies were gone. My child once loved all movies with Miley Cyrus so why not. At first, I judge it and thought this movie sucks, but actually it turned out to be a good rental. Got a few laughs and has a lot of familiar characters. The girl who plays Grace on Secret Life is in it, the guy who plays Daniel from Revenge, the dad from Gossip Girl are also in the movie. I would say if you have a teenage/preteen girl who still likes Miley go ahead and check it out. I actually could see the potential for a sequel and probably would watch it. Miley plays a girl named Molly who goes undercover for the FBI and goes to college for the mission. Her dad in the movie is actually the guy who plays Jimmy in Yes Dear. I say give it a shot.

So, you gotta lower your expectations for this one. It's a Movie that's obviously made for teenagers aged 10-19. Miley Cyrus performance in this Movie was good, her acting is pretty well, even though sometimes she's underacting and sometimes overacting she still does a pretty good job. So Undercover is not much of an action Movie, more of a Comedy and mostly a drama. LOL was a good Movie, but it had no story. This one has, and i gotta say i was entertained even though i'm a guy. For this Movie i Think it's mostly a chick-flick but teenage boys can also watch this Movie. It's a Movie for all genders. And i Think teenagers will have a great time, while more adult individuals will Think this Movie is lame. But that's what this Movie is made for, teenagers. So you gotta turn off ur brain for a while and just enjoy the Movie.

Well I watched this movie hoping it would be a comedy but to be honest,it was OK for watching it once, I wouldn't watch this twice.Miley Cyrus is dry at my opinion, maybe it isn't her fault, maybe the director told her to act that way but I didn't like her much, she seems like a smart-ass in this movie, like "Oh I know everything and you are dump", On the other hand, this movie has certain scenes copied from Miss Cngeniality, like the moment where she is been insulted while on make-up, and when she finds out her name is Brook, she feels ashamed like Sandra Bullock did when she found out her name was Gracie Lou, We also have that Cotton Girl that is the dump person like the blonde one was in Miss Congeniality.The only reason I gave this a 6-star is because it was enjoyable, not Oscar material but also not so much of a comedy, poor jokes...
