Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

ClassyWas Excellent, smart action film.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

alexanderasam Sandra Bullock is one of the top Comedy Actresses yet she has shown power as a dramatic star (BLIND SIDE) She knows comedy, has great timing, and though sometimes her characters are a bit extreme or daffy, she comes off as very smart. Someone we can watch and laugh with, who brings us joy and realize we have watched a terrific actress.The movie is a delight, with the deadpan Caine, Shatner, and Bergen sometimes stealing the show. So much fun, I have no idea why this has a low rating...we don't have very many good comedies to watch.Sammy

paulclaassen By now most of you probably know (or noticed) I'm not a big comedy fan, as I generally don't find them funny. (I refuse point blank to watch spoofs like Scary Movie, Meet the Spartans, etc). I must admit, though, I enjoyed this film more than anticipated. Maybe mostly thanks to Sandra Bullock's naturally funny acting. Maybe because Sandra Bullock is one of my favorite actresses (just not in 'Murder by Numbers', where she ruined the film in my opinion!). I also immensely enjoyed Michael Caine in this film. The interesting-ish plot was wonderfully done, me thinks. I did find Sandra's bad girl impression a bit forced, as it doesn't really suit her, but the 'transformation' was fun to watch. The whole set-up of Candice Bergen's character together with her son's evil plot was a bit silly, though, and not really believable. It could have been done so much better. Oh, and I loved Bosson's version of 'One in a million' at the pagaent! Beautiful song.

Hollywoodshack Sandra Bullock just plays this cardboard cutout tough character to the hilt..does she think she's a boy with girl's clothes on? No subtleties in this cartoon-like scenario. They show a closeup of her eating red steak with a beer like she's a female werewolf or something. She's a judo defense expert but can't balance herself to wear high heels..well..funny, but not over again too often and it doesn't make sense. William Shatner shows up as the contest emcee. He's surprisingly youthful considering he retired from Star Trek and doesn't do very many films or TV shows anymore. Too many clues are handed out ahead of time about the real villain..Candace Bergen, the former beauty queen who runs the Miss U.S. pageant. Why not keep it a surprise? We're even clued in to where the bomb is hiding and the plans for it but no one bothers to tell Gracie. She still instantly knows to rush over and save the winner the last minute before detonation. The film is overlong and would make a better sitcom like Family Ties that writer Marc Lawrence also scripted.

Desertman84 Miss Congeniality is a film that tells the story of a female FBI agent who must go undercover in a beauty pageant to stop a terrorist bombing. It stars Sandra Bullock together with Michael Caine, Benjamin Bratt and Candice Bergen.Gracie Hart is an FBI Special Agent.

Gracie's partner, Special Agent Eric Matthews , is chosen to lead the mission to stop the attack.He acquires Gracie's assistance in the mission despite the fact that she was re-assigned to a desk job for there is an increase chance of success with her involvement in it.Despite of a mediocre screenplay and an unoriginal premise,Sandra Bullock provides a great and memorable performance as Gracie that the viewer finds joy,delight and entertainment in the movie.She manages to carry the film all throughout that the viewer buys into its unrealistic events and fun that it provides.She managed to pull the movie from almost an average flick into a holiday charmer.
