Metacritic reviews

Isn't exactly good - like "Legally Blonde 2," it's a more exaggerated, less buoyant sequel to what should have been a one-off comedy - but it's enjoyable.

Lame and inoffensive.

If the first movie played like a midseason TV pilot, its successor comes off like an extended episode of a generic sitcom.

Silly, light fare made better by the over-the-top physical comedy of Bullock and King, but lacking the innate charm of the original.

There are films that demand sequels, and then there's Miss Congeniality.

Even as agile a performer as Sandra Bullock seems to be straining here amid the repetitive jokes and muddled girl-power message.

Bullock manages medium charm, but you gotta feel for King, forced to play dat-bitch-crazy butch to Bullock's untrammeled femme.

The only thing remotely resembling a character arc is handed to Regina King, the ferocious Margie Hendricks in "Ray."

Doesn't have the decency to end when it should.

Sandra Bullock looks as if she would rather be shoveling pig waste - though of course in some respects that is exactly what she's doing.
