Review:
It’s pretty standard to knock a sequel, natural enough too because the novelty value is not there and don’t we love novelty? Personally, I love Sandra Bullock’s style and I would never tire of her. She is just a naturally funny lady and extremely enjoyable. Sure, this movie is not quite as good an experience as the first one was but it is still great entertainment. It is so hard to believe William Shatner is the same guy who played the fearless Captain Kirk in Star Trek years ago. The ingratiating coward who appears on your screen in this movie would surely have spelled danger to The Enterprise and even the unshockable Spock would have raised his strange eyebrows. There are plenty of laughs in this movie as Miss Congeniality sets out to rescue the dippy Miss United States and recovers her toughness, which has been temporarily put aside in favour of glamour.
Heather Burns is suitably bubble-headed as the kidnapped beauty queen who speaks with sincerity in as predictable phrases as any true beauty contestant would use. Regina Butler as Agent Sam Fuller is a full-on agro-chook (excuse the Aussie slang) who outdoes Gracie Hart in the wouldn’t want to know her category. The males have no chance against Hart and Fuller even when they hate each other.
It’s a great movie and I’m sure it will make me laugh a few times in the future although I’m not one for watching films many times over.
