Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous

The first Miss Congeniality was decent "junk food" entertainment. My 12 year old daughter ranks it as one of her favorite movies.We saw "MC 2: Armed and Fabulous" last weekend.The sequel is just "junk". For the $31.00 I spent for my family of four, I felt robbed. Even my daughter made a "prune" face when I asked her if she liked it. Sandra Bullock was very likable in the first movie. In this one, not so. Very little of the unsophisticated Gracie playing a beauty pageant contestant came through, and that made it a bore. Last, and maybe most important, the absence of Michael Caine, Candice Bergen and Benjamin Bratt left three big holes that Sandra Bullock just couldn't fill on her own. Don't waste your money to see it at the theater. If so compelled, rent it when it hits DVD.

Having looked forward for a long time to see this film finally released, my wife and I were not disappointed. Not only did Gracie pick up from the last story and run, there was a great enhancement with the addition of Regina King as "Sam" in the story. Gracie and Sam were incredibly different, but remarkably alike.Of course, bringing back the majority of the original supporting roles & characters was excellent - as well as the tie-in to Eric with the tearful telephone break-up.Do not hesitate to see this film, for you will be pleased with some great lines and equally-great physical humor. I believe that Sandra Bullock is developing a physical humor persona in the style of Lucille Ball.Great job, Sandra. Now, if only you can get your personal life in some sense of order?!

Just horrible! No thought what-so-ever went into the script for this disaster. The writers were to capitalize on the success of M.C.1, only they thought they could just throw a series of disconnected events together with some whippy dialog and they would have a movie...(See Caddy Shack II). It is as disjointed as a train wreck! Skinny plot, never establishes the characters, weak motives, lame "brilliant deductions" (i.e. "She called them Pirates so they must have them at Treasure Island" or "You'll have to lean over me to shoot her, so..." sorry, I never understood what "brilliant deduction" this was supposed to evoke. It wasn't even funny. Sandra and Regina fighting? I'd rather watch Pee Wee Herman by himself!
