Movie Info

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

This, to me, is a classic example of a sequel that was just made because the first one made money. I didn't even like the first one.

Like its predecessor, Miss Congeniality 2 is by turns a predictable and outlandishly contrived take on the Pygmalion myth.

Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous is enjoyable in patches, but only because of the goodwill that most of us still have toward Sandra Bullock.

The movie seems so enamored of its own charms that even the outtakes have a slightly calculated feel.

There is a bit of a lesson about identity and self-worth imparted here, but it's muddled at best. Who has two hours to waste watching this movie?

What if I misinterpreted the whole thing, and it was really intended to be a straight drama with occasional light, humorous overtones? And what if pigs had wings?

The things we loved most about #1 were downplayed in favor of the things that weren't all that funny; and a betrayal of the main character through most of it.

For the sequel Bullock's as likeable as ever, but she can only do so much when working from a mundane script that relies heavily on repeating gags from its predecessor.

Sure there are a few laughs here and there, and the climax, while predictable, gives a slight thrill, but...

...an unfortunate example of what happens when a once-popular actress is staring at the downside of her career

Miss Congeniality 2 is one of those sequels that gives sequels a bad name.

O filme claramente ressente a ausência de Michael Caine. (...) Sandra Bullock é uma gracinha, mas não faz milagres.

Trips over itself more than Gracie Hart. And it never gets up.

Nothing more than warmed-up leftovers, a boring and malformed vehicle for an (admittedly very likable) actress who simply can't find anything better to do in Hollywood.

Sometimes, a movie is so abhorrent it's difficult to think of the appropriate words. When I do, I can't print them here.

Mild, middle-of-the-road and formulaic.

The subtitle of the film is Armed and Fabulous. I can think of more appropriate words to use. Awful and Forgettable? Atrocious and Foul?

Many bad movies at least make an effort; this one is content to simply lay there, like a fat tick gorged on the blood of complacent moviegoers.

What were the filmmakers thinking? I mean, what besides making a second trip to the barn to milk the $300 million cash cow that was Miss Congeniality?

Sure, "Armed and Fabulous" would like to be considered absolutely fabulous, but "Armed with a Few Laughs" comes closer to the mark. "Amputated by a Weak Script" nails it.
