Movie Review: Miss Congeniality 2

Wednesday, August 26, 2009
Synopsis: FBI Agent Gracie Hart became an overnight media sensation after she successfully disarmed a threat against the Miss United States Pageant while working undercover as a contestant. But things haven't been going so well for her lately. Reeling from a broken romance and frustrated to find her newfound fame is jeopardizing the undercover work she loves, Gracie reluctantly let her boss, Agent McDonald, talk her into serving the Bureau in the only way now possible: coifed and styled for the talk show circuit as the face of the FBI. Capitalizing on the greatest PR coup in agency history, the FBI presses their new poster girl into a while of photos ops where she re-enacts her pageant exploits to an adoring public, with the help of her personal stylist Joel to smooth her rougher edges.

Starring: Sandra Bullock, Regina King, Enrique Murciano, William Shatner, Ernie Hudson
Directed by: John Pasquin
U.S. Rating: PG-13

Being such a fan of Sandra Bullock, I believe this sequel was not one of the best in her record. But, it wasn't her fault at all! The plot was a basic script that relies heavily on repeating gags from its predecessor, which I consider was way much better than this sequel. It brings some good laughs, but the plot was not able to offer good material for almost 2 hours. I started enjoying it at the beginning of the movie, some moments in the middle of the story, but definitely felt like the end didn't offer much, or it was just me getting really bored after (almost) 2 hours watching this movie.

What did I like from this movie?

1. The moment when Sandra is talking with the other agent at the airport and she says "You might consider a tic-tac"
2. Some scenes when she's tracing the people involved with the kidnapping

What did I dislike from this movie?

1. As said before, the plot was a basic script that relies heavily on repeating gags from its predecessor

I would rate this movie with a 3/5
