Miss Congeniality (12)

Miss Congeniality is an easy movie to watch but, simply put, we've seen these types of movies dozens of times before. Nothing is new or refreshing. The storyline is very predictable, Sandra Bullock does not seem suited for the role and her acting seems forced and very average. On the comedy side, it offers a few small laughs but overall this movie's nothing you'd want to hire more than once and definitely not one you'd consider for your movie collection.

Gracie Hart (Sandra Bullock) is a tomboy FBI agent sent in under cover to capture one of the countries moss infamous criminals "The Citizen". With the help of her head of operations Eric Matthews (Benjamin Bratt) and Victor Melling (Michael Caine) a most convincing and beautiful "Miss New Jersey" is made of the rough and tough agent so that she can enter the Miss United States pageant. When "The Citizen" is captured early on in the plot she insists on staying in the pageant as a guardian to the other contestants. The plot eventually unfolds with a classic twist at the end. Often hilarious scenes make this film an enjoyable experience showing a truly comical side of Sandra Bullock.
