SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Console best movie i've ever seen.

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Mihai Toma This movie starts a couple of days after the first one ended. Gracie is chosen to be the new face of FBI, a model to every agent by appearing in public, holding press conferences or even writing a book. Meanwhile, her best and only friend, Miss USA, has been kidnapped by two people who want a five million dollars ransom. Together with her makeup crew, her bodyguard (Sam) and a newly met agent from Vegas, she must save her friend before it's too late.It's a movie who's story is a bit exaggerated and somewhat predictable, being focused more on the interaction between Gracie, her crew and her "fights" with Sam rather than on the action itself. It still follows the same pattern as the first movie, like being funny and entertaining but it's not as well-rounded as its predecessor. I know it could have been a better movie but unfortunately it isn't, thus leaving a sensation of mediocrity, of a sequel made just because the first installment had success.

stormhawk2018 In 2000, Bill Clinton still was the President of the United States; the Twin Towers were erect; John Paul II was the Pope; and a movie called "Miss Congeniality" appeared. This movie was good and better than their sequel, because it was funny and delivered us some laughs. Don't forget Gracie Hart's catchphrase: "And the World's peace!"Five years later, in 2005, George W. Bush started his second period as the President of the United States, the Twin Towers were destroyed, Pope John Paul II died after a long illness, invasion to Iraq was in their peak, North Korea announced it's possession of nuclear weapons...and the film "Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous", which is bad than the original one as the other things that happened on that year.This film tries desperately to cling to the formula of the first film, but without the slob-makeover aspect it loses a lot. Instead somehow Hart is changed by her new look and becomes as superficial as the women she despises in the first film. That seems like an odd personality shift: from a tough FBI agent to a FBI Barbie. As a result of Hart's new personality they have to write in a tough-as-nails partner to keep the action going. Oh, but don't forget that a gay stylist added something to the first film so instead of thinking of a new idea they just include a new gay stylist. Despite this desperate grab to add comedy they don't manage to draw a single laugh in the whole movie.The story is so blah and uninteresting. The clues that Hart finds are extremely obvious and make you wonder what, if anything, the rest of the FBI was doing to solve the case. Perhaps they, like the audience, just didn't care that much about the ransom victims. There are so many plot holes that make zero sense, so many plot points that are added for no apparent reason, and at the end they give the audience the ultimate slap in the face. After spending the whole movie establishing that Hart can't be an ordinary agent because of her notoriety, they make her an agent anyways, as if this new story didn't add to her fame. Basically they copped out because they couldn't figure out a good resolution for the character so they just wrote the ending they thought the audience would like best. That's what Miss Congeniality 2 is all about, trying to cater to an audience instead of trying to tell a good story.P.S.: To the reviewer John Ochiai, yeah sure, it seemed funny to you see a white girl and a black girl fighting themselves, because you are from Asian origin (Japanese). If you're from Japanese descent, you can choose instead the girls from the Super Sentai shows, these are million times better than Bullock and King together.

Meta Pomeiske It's average. But a nice cast, considering the mediocre script. Quite a few giggles here and there. But the absolute highlight of this movie is the Dolly Parton running gag!!! I mean, Ms Parton is The Queen of Country, but nevertheless, she agrees to hilarious ....scenes.So happen in Joyful Noise, too!! I couldn't believe my eyes when Queen Latifah did THAT to Dolly!!! ;D Go check yourself if you are a fan of Dolly's.Anyways, LOL to Sandra Bullock's character and her fingers! ;) This really is a cracker and never gets old!Cheers for that, Ms Parton!

leplatypus Well, at least, there's a real effort to write a sequel. This Miss 2 isn't a copy of Miss 1 but rather a "negative" follow-up: this time, Sandra is more a model that tries to investigate than an agent that tries to model. There are some funny moments, it's filled with good values (i like, as in X-Files, how the agents address their chief with "sir") and the interaction between the girls is interesting (and i think that Regina King steals the show...). But the story of kidnapping isn't really gripping, the investigation looks like a simple brainstorm, the choice for Vegas isn't lucky (it's maybe the only one movie that doesn't show girls or games) and the cast isn't worth of Michael Caine or Benjamin Bratt (who is constantly spoken about). I'm really fed up with the effeminate gay (frankly, Americans really understand nothing to homosexuality) and at last, Sandra, even she has talent for comedy, really lacks of kindness...
