On the other hand, the edgy little touches these moments give the film steer it away from the usual saccharine `tweetness that Hollywood applies to anything with darling little rugrats in it. With a few simple trims the picture could have nailed a family audience.
#Movie with kathleen turner and dennis quaid movie
But - there are a couple of moments of bad language and violence (involving the comedy-relief "Morty" character) which have hitched the movie to its new 12 rating (although last time out it was saddled with a 15). On the one hand you have a movie about two really cool folk with a cute baby who fight international terrorists - this face of the movie could toddle home with a PG rating for all the family. The adventures of Jeff and Jane are a real romp, but if the film has any kind of failing, it`s falling between two stools. Sawyer (Babatunde) is questioning Jane Blue (dammit!) and the look little Michelle gives him is priceless. In supporting roles are a whole host of fun characters but the scene stealer par excellence in the movie has to be little Michelle Schuelke as baby Jane Louise. Obba Babatunde and Larry Miller play the cops detailed to follow the Blues and who are foiled at their attempts to curb the Blues` enthusiasm by their freinds in high places. The villainess of the piece is Czech Secret Police Nutball Paulina Novacek (Fiona Shaw), operating out of a salt mine in the bayous and planning to ship some incredibly high explosives out of the US for her terrorist buddies. It doesn`t help that Jeff insists on calling him "Morty" either. There is sterling support from Stanley Tucci as "Muerte", a would-be mugger who starts a vendetta against Jeff Blue when Jeff single-handedly (literally, he`s holding baby Jane in the other) and comprehensively kicks his ass. With the original working title of "Cloak and Diaper", the movie is a starring vehicle for Kathleen Turner and Dennis Quaid as the Blues. Treading on the toes of the local law enforcement and cracking heads of some local lowlifes they attract a lot of attention.
Jeff and Jane Blue are a married couple with a difference - they`re spies, and they`re down in New Orleans with their baby Jane-Louise on a spot of maternity leave when the Company asks a favour. Introduction "Undercover Blues" is a little gem of a movie.
