My husband and I were walking along the sidewalk in the New Orleans French Quarter in the summer of 1992, when he turned and looked at a woman walking alongside us in the street and said, "Oh, my god, that's Kathleen Turner."
The plot structure is fairly typical, (other than the fact that the protagonist spies have an 8-month-old baby). The plot is very simple; 2 spies on a vacation are asked to do a job while in New Orleans.

talk about a super-fun story that is propelled by great actors and actresses, this is carried by firstly, Dennis Quaid and Stanley Tucci, along with the hilarious Larry Miller, a New Orleans Detective, (well known for his college Dean roles in the Nutty Professor I and II). If you like goofy, stupid cops (who ultimately serve a purpose), a plot and a script that bow to the gods of humor, and some excellent comedic acting, this is a movie you shouldn't miss. Things go more awry when he falls in love with a talking brain. All in all, I highly recommend this movie for a fun night! Oh, yeah the husband is an operative as well. It's "I've had a bad day and don't want to think too hard" lighthearted fun. Anyone giving this lower than a 9 isn't a comedy fan at all!

Jane Horwitz felt in her review for The Washington Post that "Dennis Quaid and Kathleen Turner act so darn cute in "Undercover Blues" that they risk fallen archness. Buy it rent it, blackmail your local cinema to show it, - but somehow get to see this wonderful movie. Trailer JustWatch. This is a great fun family film. Dennis Quaid and Kathleen Turner were very likable as Jeff and Jane Blue, ex-spies who are revelling in family life only to be enticed back for one last job. Go See The Movie, - or the boogie man will getcha! A spy couple on maternity leave in New Orleans, entertained by a mugger named Muerte, is called in when Novacek steals explosives. When a friend gets a soap part ($3600/wk), Joe lowers his standard.
7 out of 8 found this helpful This is an absolute "must see" for anyone who loves to laugh. The numbers should be at least an 8 not a mere 5+. Grow a sense of humor, people! Undercover Blues. I can only hope that someone realizes the genius of this movie and puts it on DVD, 'cause my video cassette is wearing out!
Fiona Shaw shines as the slightly demented Eastern European ex-patriot terrorist leader (and who would have thought that Aunt Petunia could be so HOT!). Dennis Quaid's easy-going manner and joyful grin are perfect for the part. A female PI babysitting for a boyfriend gets stuck with his daughter and the case of her murdered father.
You may not like this, but, then, you don't have to. The characters and their entertaining dialog are what make this film great. it is a shame they did not make a sequel the chemistry of quaid and turner reminds me of Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepard in moonlighting and nick and Nora Charles as played my William Powell and Myrna Loy in " the thin man" series of classic husband and wife comedy romance and danger.
I wish there had been one. The principal players were delightful and had good chemistry. 15 out of 16 found this helpful 5 out of 6 found this helpful
