Sandra Bullock's heart doesn't seem in this particular bit of silliness. It's as if she knows the comic opportunities of making her a cast-iron you-know-what aren't knocking.

Reviews for Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous
The movie suffers until Gracie is once again 'back on the case'. The movie actually gets entertaining from this point on, but unlike Gracie - it's too late to save the day.
03/24/05
So as not to be completely uncreative, they'd make Bullock over again, and she'd save the same beauty queen's life, but darn it, there'd be no beauty pageant this time.
03/24/05
Somewhere inside this very mainstream Hollywood confection is a surprisingly subversive little bit of deconstruction. This is a movie about an un-makeover.
03/24/05
If people keep seeing movies like this, they’ll just keep making them. Kind of like feeding the birds…or the cockroaches.
03/24/05
Yet another lame, entirely predictable sequel with no reason for existing other than to make a quick buck.
03/24/05
Sandra Bullock and Marc Lawrence bring us a sequel that’s just as “congenial” as the first movie… and that's a unique achievement.
03/24/05
This crime caper collapses under the weight of fluff, delivering a muddled girl-power message. It's far from fabulous.
03/24/05
It’s the supporting cast that help to make the sequel better than the original
03/24/05
While the original relied on too many pratfalls and a charmless romance, the sequel utilizes snappy dialogue and a female buddy pairing with the terrific Regina King
03/24/05
Bullock returns with the grim inevitability of a natural disaster, and it’s every bit as cheaply predictable as the first film
03/24/05
Bullock's quippy snippiness isn't enough...If Miss Congeniality is a consolation prize, let's hope Miss Congenialty 2 is a parting 'gift.'
03/23/05
It didn’t stink as much as I thought it would! But, it's still the most unnecessary sequel since Weekend At Bernie's 2.
03/23/05
The surest sign that Miss Congeniality 2 does not have a fraction of its predecessor's intelligence is that Shatner is relegated to being a useless hostage.
03/23/05
Having basic hygiene skills doesn’t preclude a woman from being tough enough to kick elderly Regis Philbin’s ***.
03/23/05
A bigger, gaudier mess than the first movie.
03/23/05
Despite the subtitle, it's an utterly mediocre comedy that shoots blanks...maybe the CSI team can investigate how a stiff like this wound up in their town.
03/23/05
Miss Congeniality 2 is a sour, tedious, unfunny joke for 115 minutes. It may be armed, but it most certainly isn’t fabulous.
03/23/05
Gracie Hart may still be armed, but her sheer fabulousness has come to a rather abrupt and unfortunate end.
03/23/05
It's an enjoyable (or at least educational) study of what Bullock and her favored writer-producer Marc Lawrence have rightly identified as the star's best comedy assets.
