Thehibikiew Not even bad in a good way

SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

paulclaassen By now most of you probably know (or noticed) I'm not a big comedy fan, as I generally don't find them funny. (I refuse point blank to watch spoofs like Scary Movie, Meet the Spartans, etc). I must admit, though, I enjoyed this film more than anticipated. Maybe mostly thanks to Sandra Bullock's naturally funny acting. Maybe because Sandra Bullock is one of my favorite actresses (just not in 'Murder by Numbers', where she ruined the film in my opinion!). I also immensely enjoyed Michael Caine in this film. The interesting-ish plot was wonderfully done, me thinks. I did find Sandra's bad girl impression a bit forced, as it doesn't really suit her, but the 'transformation' was fun to watch. The whole set-up of Candice Bergen's character together with her son's evil plot was a bit silly, though, and not really believable. It could have been done so much better. Oh, and I loved Bosson's version of 'One in a million' at the pagaent! Beautiful song.

Predrag Comedy starring Sandra Bullock as Gracie Hart, a tough girl cop who is obsessed with her job, doesn't have time for relationships and despises anything girly. After bungling a police operation, Gracie is consigned to go undercover as Miss New Jersey in the Miss USA beauty contest, resulting in hilarious elocution and posture lessons from an etiquette coach, excellently played by Michael Caine. As she just about convincingly gets through the extensive eliminating rounds, the cynical Gracie gets to know some of the other girls and is gradually transformed in her outlook to femininity and love. Inevitably she spots the saboteur, saves the day and ends the film as a more understanding heroine.The plot idea is extremely thin and it's only the charming performance of Bullock that gets the viewer through. She's ably assisted by the wonderful Michael Caine who pops up in the great role of Victor Melling, the man that must transform Gracie into a beauty queen and William Shatner makes good work of his role as Stan Fields the master of ceremonies. It's great to see these two old actors hamming their parts up for all they are worse. I'll also mention the cute and appealing Heather Burns who as Miss Rhode Island personifies every cliché of the pageant scene and yet still makes a lovely character. It's not a classic comedy by any stretch of the imagination, but it's still immensely delightful and immensely watchable.Overall rating: 8 out of 10.

slightlymad22 "Miss Congeniality" is easily my favourite movie with Sandra Bullock in a leading rolePlot In A Paragraph: Disgraced FBI agent Gracie Hart (Sandra Bullock) goes undercover at the Miss USA Beauty Pagent to prevent a bombing.Bullock proves she is more than capable of carrying a movie, and re-teaming after the "Demolition Man" Bullock and Benjamin Bratt are a lot of fun and have genuine on screen chemistry. Candice Bergman is always a lot of fun (though this is the first time I have seen her in anything since the Burt Reynolds movie "Stick" in 1985. I can't decide who actually stole the movie Michael Caine or William Shatner as both are brilliant, and steal every scene they are in, and that is not said lightly as Bullock is excellent.

bowmanblue Sandra Bullock has been known to be a little 'typecast' sometimes – always playing the 'loveable, but kooky' leading lady. Okay, so despite a few attempts to move away from that image, 'loveable and kooky' is what she does best. And she does it very well here.In 'Miss Congeniality' she plays an FBI agent who has to go undercover in the Miss America beauty contest in order to protect its participants from someone threatening the event. I recently watched the X-files – another show centring on FBI agents. I couldn't help but laugh at the difference the 'Bureau' is portrayed in both shows. In the X-files they're all serious and professional, in 'Miss Congeniality' they kind of behave like frat boys at a college party.But then that's what Miss Congeniality is. It's not meant to be taken seriously, nor does it ever try. It's one of those perfect films that you can simply sit down and relax with. You won't need much brainpower to appreciate it. Sandra Bullock is as lovable and endearing as she always is and you won't care that the whole concept is kind of silly. How anyone fails to notice that Sandra Bullock isn't attractive, just because she wears glasses and doesn't brush her hair is beyond me!Although Bullock naturally carries the show as she's transformed from 'tom-boy FBI agent' to glamorous beauty queen (a process that can apparently be achieved overnight – but, again, never mind, eh?), it's worth noting that Michael Caine also has a role to play. He comes close to stealing every scene as the uptight Englishman the FBI have employed to mould her into 'Miss New Jersey.' There are no surprises plot-wise. You'll probably guess who the bad guys – really – are and there's the natural romantic sub-plot thrown in, just because. But, as long as you're only looking for pure entertainment, you probably won't care.This is a great movie to watch with other people. Sit back, crack open the popcorn, put your brain on hold and enjoy. Miss Congeniality is a classic in its own, laid back, easy-going league. No, it'll never be remembered in the same breath as the true cinematic greats, such as the Godfather etc, but then it's not meant to be. Just remember that while you're watching Sandra stumble into things and trip over on her heels.
