Molly (Miley Cyrus) works with her dad (Mike O'Malley) as a private investigator. She was "practically raised by the Dallas police force" which gives her the superhuman skills and savvy of a woman far older. With her dad in a fix, Molly accepts a job from the FBI (Jeremy Piven) to protect a crime figure's daughter, Alex (Lauren McKnight) who may be a target.
Molly goes undercover aka "Miss Congeniality" and enters a sorority to get next to Alex. She doesn't quite fit in with this crowd of "plastics" which makes for the fun of the film. And of course Molly develops a love interest. The story has a nice twist too.
This is a fun film. The acting was a little cheesy by design. There is humor in the film, poking fun at the younger generation's language and mannerisms. Weak outtakes during the end credits. This is Miley Cyrus who is no Jennifer Lawrence and thankfully no Kristen Stewart. A film you can watch with your teen daughter and enjoy without feeling embarrassed during any scene.
Parental Guide: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity. Girls in bra tops and slo-mo car wash.

OMFG
Actually quite good...
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.
good
It is great and she may be undercover as a private investigator, but her skills and power are not hidden for long.
