Reviews
SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen
BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
TownRootGuy Yeah, something went horribly wrong. I gave this a 5 because it was terrible but I didn't add anybody to my list of people to avoid. 6 is the minimum rating I give for shows I'll re-watch, making 5 the max for the opposite.I can't even say it's worth seeing once. Indeed, if you liked the first one, maybe don't taint it by seeing the sequel. It has a great cast but it is just a big fail.
Desertman84 Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous is a comedy that serves as a sequel to the 2000 film Miss Congeniality.It features Sandra Bullock together with Regina King,Enrique Murciano,William Shatner,Ernie Hudson,Heather Burns,Diedrich Bader and Treat Williams. Three weeks after the events of the first film, FBI agent Gracie Hart has become a celebrity after she infiltrated a beauty pageant on her last assignment. The FBI uses her notoriety to generate positive PR for the bureau; however, Gracie would like to get back to some solid police work, especially after scuffling with fellow female agent "Sam" Fuller, who isn't impressed with Gracie. Despite their differences, the two find themselves working side by side when two of Gracie's pals from the pageant -- contest winner Cheryl Frasier and master of ceremonies Stan Fields -- were kidnapped.After the viewer is presented with a charmer in the first film,the sequel just comes up with the same formulaic screenplay that basically worked in the original.Too bad that it does not provide anything new that what Sandra Bullock does in it has basically been presented in the previous film.Overall,it just lacks something new and everything becomes basically predictable from beginning to end.
ctomvelu1 Talk about a lackluster sequel. Sandra Bullock is back as Gracie, a klutzy but shrewd FBI agent, this time on the trail of two friends who have been kidnapped. The trail leads to Vegas, which was a big mistake. Vegas is a poor choice for making a movie, with very rare exception. It's not a real city, and you can feel it. And the plot is all over the place, including having Bullock dress up as a Vegas showgirl for reasons I have mercifully, already forgotten. Benjamin Bratt is not in the sequel, which leaves Bullock with no one worth playing off here. And Bill Shatner as one of the kidnap victims has virtually no screen time, another huge mistake. Whoopi Goldberg made her Vegas-set comedy work with SISTER ACT. But Bullock, who I usually enjoy, cannot save this turkey. And a host of familiar faces, including Regina King, Eileen Brennan, Ernie Hudson, Liz Rohm and Treat Williams, are in all truth simply wasted here. MISS CONGENIALITY 2 is not quite as bad as Bullock's other big-name sequel, SPEED 2, but it's close.
Rozinda SpoilersThe guy Gracie fancied in the first story has dumped her - perhaps he couldn't cope with the enormous fame that came to her from winning the title of Miss Congeniality?!He does it in the most spiteful and offensive way, standing her up when she'd prepared a nice cosy evening, and when she asks why she's being dumped, he insults her. What a shame she didn't seize the opportunity, the moment she worked out what he was going to say, and tell him to get lost - throwing him bodily out of the flat - like straight through the window (without it having been opened first of course) would have been Gracie's style. But it's very much Bullock's style to be put down somehow, unfairly so, after being humiliated by some b.... veryone else can see is a complete jerk, and then drag herself up again and finally win out.Some of the aim of this second story is to bolster her confidence again, but the script doesn't quite succeed in that objective which left me feeling a little sad, even though things are "better than they were". I know second sequels tend to be even less effective than first sequels but I feel this story still hasn't finished yet and needs a third movie to round it off. But will the studio (or Bullock) agree and give it to us?Other than this, the movie is almost as hilarious as the original. It flags a little at times because Gracie has become too famous and too easily recognisable by all and sundry she might encounter to carry on just now as an ordinary FBI agent, so her boss makes her become an ambassador for the FBI's image. One splendid aspect of this change though is that it "is" different - not a repeat of the earlier story.She spends rather less time knocking down anyone who insults her - which had been such an hilarious feature of Movie 1! On the other hand, she now has a perfect foil in another female rogue agent who's assigned as her bodyguard but hates her. You can imagine the fun that ensues from this.There isn't a man for Gracie this time. An agent she might have fancied is like her lost beau preferring someone else. Come on, Studio, give her a guy who really values her, she deserves it. Don't leave her yearning and wondering why "no-one ever likes her" because frankly, can anyone believe no-one would like Gracie? She's wonderful and should have men falling over themselves to get near her even if she then knocks them down!
