This movie was not bad. This movie was not stupid. It was not a travesty. It was not a black mark. It was a sequel. And it filled that role quite well.
Sandra Bullock returned in Miss Congeniality 2, thankfully, and really completely saved it. There was a rumor going around that they weren't going to use her in the sequel, but luckily they realized their mistake. Ms. Bullock makes the show worth watching all by herself. Though she did have an OK ensemble to work with (particularly Heather Burns and Regina King), this is her show, and hers alone. Without her, it could easily have become all of the above listed things.
But it's not! It's really not bad, and has some genuine laughs along the way, with an especially funny drag queen scene. So, if you're a fan of the original, go see it. It won't compare to the first, and never could have, but it is still worth seeing. 5/10 stars for me.

"Miss Congeniality" was a very funny and entertaining light romantic comedy that delivered funny moments because of it's creative plot and of course, the sexy-funny performance of the always talented Sandra Bullock.
But this sequel is a total mess with a clichéd plot, predictable situations, and not so funny characters. The addition of Regina King as a sidekick for Sandra Bullock worked most of the time but it wasn't vital to make the movie work.
The situations are not funny at all and it truly made me think I was watching an episode of .. I don't know, any standard sitcom.
But the best thing about the movie is Sandra Bullock's performance. She's always funny, smart. She's the perfect franchise actress that can save the day ANYTIME. Even if the movie is a total crap like this one.
Please only watch it if you are a huge, die hard fan of Sandra Bullock and you can stand trash like this; otherwise, please avoid it.
It's the attack of the bad sequels.

I saw this movie at a special screening last night. While being a big fan of the first movie, I was fairly excited to see the second. After I saw it, I thought it was OK. Not as clever and original as the first, but still very entertaining. The second had a lot more laughs, slapstick, and funny bits...however I'd say it lacked in plot. EVERYTHING was predictable, and you knew what would happen the moment the movie started--not like in the first movie, which was more inventive and unpredictable to a certain degree.
Also, I was a bit disappointed with the cast (especially Benjamin Bratt not returning). Shatner, whom I looked forward to seeing, was hardly in it--so that was another disappointment. The other actors and actresses were OK. Sandra Bullock was great though, and she really held the film together with her comedic attitude. A 10 for her performance! Besides getting some very huge laughs from Diedrich Bader (who played Bullock's personal stylist),Shatner, and Sandra Bullock, there wasn't much else to offer in the acting department.
However I will say most of this movie was hilarious, even if it lacked in other things. I definitely recommend seeing it, as it will probably be the funniest movie of the year. If you're in the mood to see a very funny, laugh a minute-ride, you should definitely check it out in the theater! But don't get your hopes up for this being better than the first.

The movie displays action,comedy,suspense and is pretty entertaining.This sequel appear similar characters as the first,thus her friend Heather Burns who she knew as a contestant in the Miss United States beauty pageant, William Shatner,Ernie Hudson but no Benjamin Bratt but the starring has broken with him.Sandra Bullock is sympathetic and funny though repeating her role as untameable tomboy agent.Regina King as her tough,brawny partner is likable.They form a peculiar duo ,making a special buddy movie.Lively,jolly musical score by Tongeren and atmospheric cinematography by Peter Menzies.The motion picture is correctly directed by John Pasquin.The film is diverting but not as bemusing as the first part. Rating : Agreeable and entertained.The picture will like to Sandra Bullock fans.

Miss Congeniality 2 in my opinion, is just as good as the first movie. Sandra Bullock of course plays the same character, Gracie Hart, and she's just as likable and fitting for the role in this film as in the 2000 film. I also really liked Regina King here, she is very funny and tough, that's what her character is all about. She's tough as nails and won't take anyone's BS, but there are moments where that hard shell of hers is broken and we're able to see her warm fuzzy side, I liked the balance of both that we get to see at different points in the movie. The script is pretty average for this kind of film, but it still worked in my opinion. I liked how it contained plenty of good humorous material to laugh and have fun with, but then also contained good messages with heart. The action is just about the same in this movie as in the first one, which also worked well. Hey if it ain't broke then why fix it?? The drag show performance scene is very fun and enjoyable. Who wouldn't love Sandra bullock and Regina King singing Tina Turner with a bunch of drag queens?? And then the final thing I want to cover is the awesome and very crucial message that this movie proudly sends. The quote from Gracie Hart at the end of the movie is what I'm referring to: "some people may care about people who care about themselves, but I just don't care about those people" :). That is a wonderful very correct message for everyone. 7/10.
