    FBI agent-turned-reluctant beauty queen Gracie Hart (played by Sandra Bullock) is taking on both bad guys and high glamour again in this sequel to the comedy smash Miss Congeniality. After her undercover mission at the Miss United States pageant becomes public knowledge, Gracie becomes something of a celebrity, and 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 (Regina King), 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 (Heather Burns) and master of ceremonies Stan Fields (William Shatner) -- fall victim to kidnappers. As she did on the first film, Sandra Bullock served as both producer and star for Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous, while director John Pasquin's credits include several episodes of the situation comedy George Lopez, also produced by Bullock. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    Review

      Sandra Bullock's career has been quite a conundrum. America's sweetheart and an unquestioned A-lister, she nonetheless always comes up short, both critically and at the box office. So it should be no great surprise that her biggest post-Speed success has been a pair of middling comedies about an FBI agent undercover as a beauty queen, the first having grossed over 100 million dollars, hence triggering the production of a second. The heart and soul of Miss Congeniality was Gracie Hart's snort-laughing and socially maladroit ways, but those elements get pushed into the background of Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous. Perhaps not wanting to spend more time than necessary in Gracie's mannish wardrobes, Bullock sets aside the Gracie Hart persona, petitioning for a more Tracey Ullman role-playing approach to the proceedings. Toward this end, she spends the early scenes dropping brand names like a prissy perfume saleswoman, goes undercover in the middle as a kvetching retirement-home tenant, and finishes by playing, well, herself. The consequence is that the series switches from satire to buddy action comedy, with the fertile pageantry world survived only by the kidnapping victims, and it becomes more about the uneasy relationship between the suddenly meek Hart and her alpha female partner (Regina King). However it's categorized, there are enough laughs and sharp quips in Marc Lawrence's script to make Miss Congeniality 2 a good platform for Bullock's sympathetic goofiness, and her ardent fans should be pleased. But the fact that it barely made back its 45-million-dollar budget in ticket sales may not make it fabulous enough for a third outing. ~ Derek Armstrong, Rovi

      This movie is one of the best sequels of 2005 next to "The Ring Two". I absolutely love this movie and I cant wait to buy it on DVD.

      An unbelievable plotline and shoddy acting shows that Sandra is struggling any way she can to make a quick buck. The reviewer before myself will never be anything close to "the ultimate movie lover" if he thought The Ring Two was a top film of 2005 or even slightly enjoyed it.
