Miss Congeniality 2

Synopsis:

We catch up with FBI Agent Gracie Hart (Sandra Bullock) shortly after she successfully disarmed a threat against the Miss United States Pageant.

Her newfound fame means she can no longer work undercover, so Gracie agrees to go on the talk show circuit as "the face of the FBI." Though resistant at first, Gracie soon warms to the attention and it's not long before she's getting into her new role a little too much. Her new partner Sam Fuller (Regina King), a tough agent who is clearly not her biggest fan, is the first to point out that the pampered Bureau star is turning into FBI Barbie.

But when Gracie's best friends, pageant winner Cheryl Frazier and emcee Stan Fields (Heather Burns and William Shatner) are kidnapped in Las Vegas, Gracie's crime-fighting instincts kick back in.

What the critics are saying:

"Bullock struts her stuff well, but this comedy lacks freshness and sags in all the wrong places."
- Stella Papamichael, BBCi Film

"...isn't a noticeable regression from its predecessor. But it's no advancement either, suggesting the risks inherent in franchise filmmaking."
- Gene Seymour, Newsday

"...neither buff nor fabulous, the high concept more wearying than delightful on the second go-round. Even as agile a performer as Sandra Bullock seems to be straining here amid the repetitive jokes and muddled girl-power message."
- Sheri Linden, Hollywood Reporter
