Watch Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous For Free

Overrated and overhyped

Load of rubbish!!

I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

Yeah, something went horribly wrong. I gave this a 5 because it was terrible but I didn't add anybody to my list of people to avoid. 6 is the minimum rating I give for shows I'll re-watch, making 5 the max for the opposite.I can't even say it's worth seeing once. Indeed, if you liked the first one, maybe don't taint it by seeing the sequel. It has a great cast but it is just a big fail.

I like Sandra Bullock. She can be really funny, and very charming in feel-good movies. Miss Congeniality was a guilty pleasure for me, and quite enjoyable, so I definitely wanted to watch this follow-up. Thank gosh I didn't go to the cinema, as I would have had a heart attack if I had paid for it. There are many reasons why this film was bound to disaster-land: 1- There are inconsistencies in the psychology of the main character. I mean, if you have seen the first movie, Detective Hart (Bullock) is like another person in her psyche and her being in this film. 2-Part of the success of the previous movie was the whole cast, the ensemble, bust most them are gone in this second part except for Shartner as Fields and Burns as Cheryl. 3- There is no compatibility or connection between Bullock and Regina King on camera, and since the story is so heavily focused on their relationship, well, this doesn't contribute to more laughs. 4- The movie tries too hard to make you laugh, so hard, that one gets a bit stiff. I found that some of the scenes might have been really hilarious if the right actors had been chosen for the film, or the right mood among the cast had existed. But it did not. Some of the actors do a great job in the film, it is a matter that they are not the ones carrying the weight of it.Sadly, the funniest thing to me were the credits with the bloopers of the actors in the film. I found those quite good.

It's average. But a nice cast, considering the mediocre script. Quite a few giggles here and there. But the absolute highlight of this movie is the Dolly Parton running gag!!! I mean, Ms Parton is The Queen of Country, but nevertheless, she agrees to hilarious ....scenes.So happen in Joyful Noise, too!! I couldn't believe my eyes when Queen Latifah did THAT to Dolly!!! ;D Go check yourself if you are a fan of Dolly's.Anyways, LOL to Sandra Bullock's character and her fingers! ;) This really is a cracker and never gets old!Cheers for that, Ms Parton!

Sandra Bullock returns as the FBI agent glammed up in the original movie to go undercover at a beauty pageant. This time, her exploits in the first episode have made her instantly recognisable to the public at large – something of a drawback when you're trying to work undercover. To overcome this problem, the agency makes her the face of the FBI, appearing in chat shows and at book signings, dressed up to the nines and totally losing touch with the real her. Only when her old friends Miss USA and William Shatner are kidnapped and held to ransom does she return to butt-kicking normal.The big idea here is to reverse the original film – glamorous personality becomes dressed-for-action cop – and as ideas go it's singularly dreary and unattractive. Miss Bullock is here given a testy fellow-agent with the unlikely name of Sam Fuller, and their relationship follows the timeworn mismatched buddy arc with such bovine lack of imagination that as I watched I half-expected the characters themselves to become as bored with each other as I had. Everyone involved up there on the screen seems to know exactly what is going on: a cynical attempt by the studio to cash in on an original that succeeded beyond their expectations. So keen were the accountants to capitalise on that success that they calculated the quota of laughs required is immaterial. I mean, why bother? Everybody remembers Miss Congeniality and how funny it was, that'll be more than enough to recoup the cost of the second-string cast and production costs, leaving the way clear to make a modest but commercially acceptable profit. After all, there's not many ask for their money back once they've been lured into the cinema…Bill Shatner might have been able to liven things up a little had he been given the chance, but his part is relegated to little more than half a dozen lines. Bullock looks like she's focusing on her next big part and can't wait to get this liability out of the way, while Treat Williams wonders where it all went wrong.
