From Amazon.co.uk
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 The result is a desperately unfunny, feature-length commercial for Las Vegas tourism, with outdated homosexual stereotypes (Diedrich Bader, as Gracie's stylist) and the usually terrific Regina King (of Ray and Jerry Maguire fame) stuck in a glum role as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

Format: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!

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?

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.

Less believable than its predecessor
A sequel to to the original movie, and a few years on, this movie is even more demanding on the viewer's believability. Read more

A bit special, but not bad at all
Recently I bought the no. 1. Miss Congeniality (I bought no. 2 first). I think both of them are good, but different. No. 2 may even sometimes be a little more obscure. Read more

Memo to Sandra Bullock
Never - EVER - agree to do a sequel to a cute movie unless the script is absolutely magnificent, the director is top-notch, and the costars are at least half as talented as you... Read more

After Miss Congeniality 1, this is DROSS
The first movie was fun, had some imagination and several laugh out aloud moments. Sandra Bullock was genuinely funny and showed her talent as a comic actress. Read more

Fun sequel but lacked the sparkle the original had
Miss Congeniality 1 was spot one with everything. It had a great cast, great story behind it and Sandra looked stunning. Read more

This really should'nt be seen as a sequel, as it stands alone as a film, the only continuity being Gracie, the fabulous Sandra Bullock. Read more

I enjoyed this sequel, lots of fun
This very much follows on from the first film, but there's no Sir Michael Caine this time, the film does not hit the road running, but give it 10-12 minutes and it really gets... Read more
