Ghoulumbe Better than most people think
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Imdbidia I like Sandra Bullock. She can be really funny, and very charming in feel-good movies. Miss Congeniality was a guilty pleasure for me, and quite enjoyable, so I definitely wanted to watch this follow-up. Thank gosh I didn't go to the cinema, as I would have had a heart attack if I had paid for it. There are many reasons why this film was bound to disaster-land: 1- There are inconsistencies in the psychology of the main character. I mean, if you have seen the first movie, Detective Hart (Bullock) is like another person in her psyche and her being in this film. 2-Part of the success of the previous movie was the whole cast, the ensemble, bust most them are gone in this second part except for Shartner as Fields and Burns as Cheryl. 3- There is no compatibility or connection between Bullock and Regina King on camera, and since the story is so heavily focused on their relationship, well, this doesn't contribute to more laughs. 4- The movie tries too hard to make you laugh, so hard, that one gets a bit stiff. I found that some of the scenes might have been really hilarious if the right actors had been chosen for the film, or the right mood among the cast had existed. But it did not. Some of the actors do a great job in the film, it is a matter that they are not the ones carrying the weight of it.Sadly, the funniest thing to me were the credits with the bloopers of the actors in the film. I found those quite good.
jc-osms Lame follow up to the hit comedy, Miss Congeniality 2 misfires from start to finish. Michael Caine, who freely admits to "Jaws IV" being his career nadir, wisely avoids this particular sequel which might have had him re-thinking his selection, as it has a weak story, few laughs and forgettable performances.It's not the first and won't be the last Hollywood feature to think that a setting in Las Vegas is a guarantee of feel-good success and with hotels like the Venetian and Treasure Island featured so heavily in the plot, you've got to wonder where the line between between scene-setting and product-placement is actually drawn.The story-line is as bare as a hotel breakfast buffet at ten o'clock, with the previous movie's Miss America this time kidnapped along with her manager, played again by the scenery-chewing William Shatner, by two heavyweight bikers, offering her for a $5,000,000 ransom. I'd happily have started a collection myself if it had meant missing the rest of the movie. Anyway, enter Ms Bullock with her entourage of butch new black female partner, gay stylist and assigned FBI minder to fail, fail and then of course succeed in cracking the case not soon enough.The big set-piece comedy scenes, involving Dolly Parton and Tina Turner lookalikes pass by like islands in the stream and are a long way from being the best, while the climactic rescue aboard the fighting Treasure Island boat sinks without trace.Miss Bullock mugs and pouts her way through the whole film in autopilot mode and none of her co-stars offer much relief in support, while the laughs in general come thin and slow.This really is just the sort of lazy, unfunny cash-in sequel that reflects the paucity of creativity in latter-day Hollywood.
SnoopyStyle Gracie Hart (Sandra Bullock) is too famous for her job as undercover FBI agent. Agent Eric Matthews ends their relationship, and she doesn't do well. She decides to take the FBI media relations job.Ten months later, Gracie is a cold hearted media darling of the FBI. Angry agent Sam Fuller (Regina King) is assigned as Gracie's protection. When pageant winner Cheryl Frasier (Heather Burns) and pageant host Stan Fields (William Shatner) are kidnapped, Gracie is call in to be media spokesperson on the case.This starts off badly in the wake of Gracie's relationship's demise. And she turns into a bitch. In one fell swoop, the movie destroys what made the original watchable. They make the dorky adorable Bullock and turn her into a mean sparkly drama queen. It is the worst move they could possibly try. It never fully recovers from it.
werefox08 The first Miss Congeniality was dreadful, (i gave it 2 out of 10). This...made 5 years after the first is about 20 times worse. If there was a funny line in there, I missed it. Miss Con "one" made a lot of money...because of the pulling power of Sandra Bullock. So, Miss Bullock had some free time, produced this , virtually knowing here huge fan base would pull this through. It worked, this really terrible film did make money. Not as much as the first piece of trash, but a tidy sum nevertheless. The most amazing fact about Bullock is...she is not funny. It is that "girl next door look she has" that makes the fans go ga ga. She doesn't act at all in this sequel. She plays...the girl next door. I did not want to see this---but i lost a bet---and this was my punishment. (I still get night-mares about it).
