Amazon.co.uk Review
F.B.I. operative Gracie Hart (Sandra Bullock) famously went undercover in a beauty pageant a while back, and now she's supposedly so recognizable that her only use to the agency is as a pretty public representative. Dumped by her boyfriend (whom Benjamin Bratt wisely decided not to portray this time around), a gloomy Gracie goes along with the promo biz until her friend, Miss United States (Heather Burns), is kidnapped along with pageant official Stan Fields (William Shatner) in Las Vegas. Bullock still has perk to please her fans, but neither she nor her awkward alter-ego has any purpose in a sequel to a movie released five years prior. The result is a desperately unfunny, feature-length commercial for Las Vegas tourism, with outdated homosexual stereotypes (Diedrich Bader, as Gracie's stylist) and the usually terrific Regina King (of Ray and Jerry Maguire fame) stuck in a glum role as Bullock's butch bodyguard. Armed? Yes. Fabulous? No. --Steve Wiecking, Amazon.com

4.0 out of 5 stars
A pleasantly surprising sequel,
By A Customer
This review is from: Miss Congeniality 2 [DVD] [2005] (DVD)
I wasn't expecting too much with this film, but wanted to see it as I had enjoyed "Miss Congeniality", and am a fan of Sandra Bullock. I was quite surprised that I enjoyed it, as many sequels can be quite bad and the cinema reviews weren't that great! It probably isn't the sort of film that will have you gripped to the edge of your seat but it is easy to watch and very funny in places. Sandra Bullock is brilliant, going from slobby agent Gracie Hart to agent "Barbie"! It's definitely a film that I will watch several times. You have to enjoy it for what it is - easy going entertainment!

Lightweight, fluffy, and largely innoffensive,

This review is from: Miss Congeniality 2 [DVD] [2005] (DVD)
This movie is exactly what you would expect. Sandra bullock does what she does best. She portrays a character, long on good looks, short on anything serious. The sort of movie you should watch when you wish to take the brain off the hook and have two hours disappear. Ok, it's the ultimate "nothing movie" - but if you're in the mood for nothing, why not?

3.0 out of 5 stars
An inferior sequel,
By Greg Farefield-Rose (Hertfordshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Miss Congeniality 2 [DVD] [2005] (DVD)
Sequels are often disappointing and, although Miss Congeniality 2 has some clever ideas, it is not as good as the first movie. MC2 pretty much starts where its predecessor finishes with Gracie Hart (Sandra Bullock) now a designer-cloth wearing megastar following her heroic rescue in MC1. The antitheses of the tough, cynical cop she once was, a new even tougher girl cop Sam Fuller (Regina King) is hired as her minder. The pair hate each other at first but, when tragedy strikes, they gradually meet in the middle and (surprise, surprise) save the day.
A goodish story then but Miss Congeniality 2 is spoilt by its crass modern commercialisation and product placement. Watch it if you enjoyed the first film but prepare to be disappointed.
