Miss Congeniality 2 - Armed and Fabulous (Full Screen Edition with Soundtrack CD) description
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 The result is a desperately unfunny, feature-length commercial for Las Vegas tourism, with outdated homosexual stereotypes (Diedrich Bader, as Gracie's stylist) and the usually terrific Regina King (of Ray and Jerry Maguire fame) stuck in a glum role as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 |

No, it's not original; yes, it is funny...

I've been thinking about writing this review for some time now and I just now got to doing it. There have been a lot of negative things said about this film but I want you to forget all of those for a minute. There are times in life when we just need a laugh, no matter how corny or ridiculous a laugh it really is. Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous' gives us just that, laugh after laugh after corny laugh. Sandra Bullock, aided by the hilarious Regina King, delivers line after line and truly brings on the funny. I was pleasantly surprised with just how funny this movie really was. Sure, plot wise it's a bit lame and feels just shy of been there done that', and I was bummed to see the absence of Michael Caine, but it makes up for all of that with some hysterical performances.
In the years that followed the events of the first Miss Congeniality' film Gracie Hart has become a bit of a celebrity and because of her new status she no longer can work undercover due to her recognizable face. Instead she becomes the face of the department, going on talkshows and the like to bring good press. She needs some protection though and that's where Sam Fuller comes in, a hot shot hot headed officer who doesn't like the idea of protecting' the likes of Gracie Hart. Yes, Hart has become a bit of a diva (Bullock is just hilarious here, I mean truly hilarious). Hart changes though when the unthinkable happens. Her dearest friend and winner of the pageant in the previous film, Cheryl (Miss Rhode Island), and Stan Fields are kidnapped and held for ransom. She must now try her hardest to rescue them before it is too late.
Sandra Bullock and Regina King play off one another beautifully here creating a fun and funny atmosphere that draws the audience in. Is this film perfect? No, of course not, but it is a great slice of comedic entertainment. Sandra Bullock has proven to be the queen of comedy, at least in my book, and this is no exception. She has a great understanding of what is funny and how to deliver it authentically, never coming across as if she were acting'. She's a personable actress who just gets better with each passing film. Watching her sink into this role is great and I just can't say enough good things about her. Regina King is another great actress, and while she's not as funny as Bullock here (face it Bullock steals this show) she proves to be a great supporting actress, lending her talents to boost her co-stars performance.
So, in the end I can highly recommend this movie, not because it's the most original and innovative comedy out there but because it's funny; and funny deserves some attention. |
