Plot synopsis

Sandra Bullock but knows how to brand stupidity so cute

"The reason for a sequel," says Bullock, "is that Marc (Lawrence, author and producer) and I plant ourselves on numerous occasions imagining what Gracie would have gone on to exercise later on her big triumph at the pageant and how all the media attending would take afflicted her." Aye. I'k gonna accept a wild ane and say the fact that the original made over $300 1000000 (including domestic AND worldwide gross, rentals, and DVD sales) probably had a little something to do with it equally well.

Let'southward be honest hither, do y'all actually need a review to convince you of whether or not y'all want to see this? Seriously, if you watch the trailer and read this review and STILL come across the flick, then I don't want to hear whatsoever complaints. Walk out of the theater with a smile on your face or I'll put one there, OK? Otherwise, don't run into it. Come up on, you're not really expecting something fresh and original are y'all? Accept you lot read the plot line? Miss Congeniality 2 plain runs a predictable path. Gracie is originally reluctant to get Ms. FBI Barbie, simply then she embraces the role and becomes a wee fleck too wrapped upward in it. But look! William Shatner and Miss America are kidnapped! So it's off to Las Vegas to run a picayune PR. Enter Treat Williams every bit the Las Vegas FBI supervisor (Collins) who has ambitions of writing his own book and doesn't treat Gracie coming in and stealing his thunder. Yous might as well take cued the sinister music and given him a Cheshire cat to pet and a handlebar mustache to twirl.

Information technology'll come up as a shock to approximately three sub-lxx IQ viewers that Collins disregards Gracie'southward attempts at helping and begins to steer the investigation in the incorrect direction. You know what that means, correct? Time for Gracie to shed the FBI Barbie image and go dorsum to her old ways! Somebody phone call upwardly Memento, and let it know that a new master of unpredictability is here and its proper noun is Miss Congeniality ii: Armed and Fabulous! OK, and so non actually. But who cares? The moving picture ramps upwardly the cheese, the stupidity, the silliness, and the camp, and information technology revels in it. The best affair I can say about this sequel is information technology knows exactly what it is, information technology knows exactly what its audience wants, it knows exactly how ridiculously over-the-elevation everything is, and information technology doesn't care one whit what the critics recollect. There's no shame to be found here, and for that, I tip my hat.

I'll exist honest, if you effort to put a film like this on the shoulders of Julia Stiles or Kirsten Dunst then I'k running screaming for the exit similar I'one thousand Haley Joel Osment at Neverland Ranch. Only I honey Sandra Bullock, and she has the amuse and the personality to make me grin at the stupidest stuff. She trips about 24 times, dances at a drag social club in a ridiculous outfit, lays a beatin' on a vi'7" behemoth to the tune of Spiderbait's Blackness Betty, and she forces me to be entertained by it. Acknowledge it, she has a knack for making insanity absolutely ambrosial.

Oh, and who can forget the addition of a partner! Regina King (the daughter from 227) is an FBI transfer with acrimony management problems. She's assigned as Gracie'due south bodyguard, and she has a bad habit of overextending herself physically. Yes, you guessed it, they don't initially go along. Can you run into hijinks and shenanigans ensuing? I think you lot can! Is this a great flick? Not by any ways. It's not even as skillful equally the original, a big reason existence that William Shatner is regretfully underutilized (although he does have a great line about his friend being run over past a milk truck). Oh, and become ahead and make sure you bring your piffling yellow saucepan to puke in during the terminal scene. A producer somewhere obviously spoke up and said, "Hey, we're i aww-inducing scene short of our quota," and thus the terminal scene was born.

But yous just have to accept that and the fact that this is a one-act that'll have you shaking your head and rolling your eyes more than once. In fact, I should exist ashamed to admit that I allow myself enjoy it every bit much as I did. But if you lot go into the movie expecting to have a good time then you should walk out satisfied. The screening audience absolutely loved information technology. Granted, proclamations such as, "That is the all-time film I've seen this year!" are a bit much, but this is indeed a flick that knows its audience and plays to it effectively.

Are you expecting high art? If so, then yous really need to larn how to meliorate clarify movie trailers. You lot also demand to learn how to improve analyze movie titles. Armed and Fabled? One of the slap-up absolutes in life is any fourth dimension a movie tries to be cute and makes a play on words with a common phrase (in this case, "armed and unsafe") in its motion-picture show championship, then you better accept a tent with you considering mama, it's time to set up camp! The only thing missing hither is a cameo by Adam Westward.

I recall I'k gonna follow the trend. I'm gonna write a script about baseball game chosen America's Pastime where the dwelling house squad loses the championship. However, they will go their revenge in the sequel - America'south Pastime 2: Payback'due south a Pitch. It's gonna rule. You know it, and I know information technology.

Bottom line, America - how oftentimes in life volition you get the chance to encounter Sandra Bullock in boxers and a t-shirt, all while sportin' some long, shiny, straight hair? At the very least in that location is entertainment value in THAT! *sighs wistfully* Rating: iii (out of v)
