Undercover Blues (1993)
Wednesday, March 1st, 2006See mommy picking the big lock? Someday, when you’re a big girl, she’ll teach you how to pick locks. Of course, she may still be picking this one.
I wanted to spin a New Orleans-based movie for Fat Tuesday, and this was the only Big Easy film in my collection.
Undercover Blues is a lightweight, inconsequential comedy that succeeds completely on the charisma of its stars and a thoroughly fearless comedic performance by a fast-rising actor. The plot doesn’t make a whole lot of sense and rests on the flimsiest of MacGuffins, but by the end you’re laughing hard enough not to care.
