'Miss Congeniality 2': Armed with Sandra Bullock, but not fabulous
by Eleanor Ringel Gillespie

"Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous" isn't a total waste of your time; Sandra Bullock sees to that. But it is a waste of the star's time. Like sports heroes and ballet dancers, actors have a limited shelf life. Unique and beautiful as she is, Bullock needs to find herself some better scripts. Read the full review

TO SUM UP
Sandra Bullock returns as FBI agent Gracie Hart, now glammed up to do P.R. as "the new face of the FBI." But when her pageant pals from the first film are kidnapped, she swings into action.

READ THE REVIEW

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: C-
" ... the irresistible Sandra Bullock does her best to keep things going in the face of a silly, slapped-together script."

Austin American-Statesman: C
"... catfights, a drag-queen musical sequence, lip gloss and William Shatner. What more could you want on a Friday night?"

The Palm Beach Post: B-
"Gracie is a comfortable character for Bullock's amiable comedy skills, but screenwriter Marc Lawrence seems stumped for something interesting for her to do."

The Palm Beach Post "Flick Chick"
"If movie reviews were a beauty pageant, 'Miss Congeniality 2' would win 'Miss Nice To See You Again, Better Luck Next Time.'"
