FBI agent-turned-reluctant beauty queen Gracie Hart (played by Sandra Bullock) is taking on both bad guys and high glamour again in this sequel to the comedy smash Miss Congeniality. After her underco... read more read more...ver mission at the Miss United States pageant becomes public knowledge, Gracie becomes something of a celebrity, and the FBI uses her notoriety to generate positive PR for the bureau; however, Gracie would like to get back to some solid police work, especially after scuffling with fellow female agent "Sam" Fuller (Regina King), who isn't impressed with Gracie. Despite their differences, the two find themselves working side by side when two of Gracie's pals from the pageant -- contest winner Cheryl Frasier (Heather Burns) and master of ceremonies Stan Fields (William Shatner) -- fall victim to kidnappers. As she did on the first film, Sandra Bullock served as both producer and star for Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous, while director John Pasquin's credits include several episodes of the situation comedy George Lopez, also produced by Bullock. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    Not as good as the first film but still very funny!
  • February 4, 2011
    Just a terrible sequel starring the untalented Regina King.

    Grade: D

    it was okay. C
  • February 12, 2010
    I like Sandra Bullock but she does herself no favours by starring in this. What's worse is that she produced it! Not great.
  • June 5, 2009
    I was excited to watch Sandra Bullock's return as FBI agent Gracie Hart in this sequel comedy movie, but I thought it was OK. Not as clever and original as the first, but still very entertaining. The second had a lot more laughs, slapstick, and funny bits...however I'd say it lac... read moreked in plot. I was a bit disappointed with the cast (especially Benjamin Bratt not returning), but Bullock was the best. Bullock dressed as the old woman is hilarious and there are many other great costumes as well as how beautiful she looked.

    The story is not quite as good as the first but it was funnier than I was expecting. Quite similar to the first, more of the same really.
  • May 21, 2007
    Not nearly as good as the first(which wasn't that great to begin with)
  • February 23, 2007
    I don't know. I think this one is actually better than the first. What about you?
  • January 11, 2007
    bullocks character got out of hand, too different from the first one
  • November 20, 2006
    I just love sandra bullock! she is great!

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

This, to me, is a classic example of a sequel that was just made because the first one made money. I didn't even like the first one. Full Review

Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

Like its predecessor, Miss Congeniality 2 is by turns a predictable and outlandishly contrived take on the Pygmalion myth. Full Review

Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous is enjoyable in patches, but only because of the goodwill that most of us still have toward Sandra Bullock. Full Review

Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News

The movie seems so enamored of its own charms that even the outtakes have a slightly calculated feel.

Carrie Rickey

Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer

Deliriously funny if instantly forgettable.

Roger Ebert

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

There is no good reason to go and actually see it. Full Review

Wesley Morris, Boston Globe

Nothing with so many people in drag should feel this draggy. Full Review

You figure Bullock would have learned her lesson about sequels after the Speed 2 fiasco. MC2 isn't that bad, but it puts its star's charms to the test. Full Review

Lame and inoffensive. Full Review

A pretty laughless affair. Full Review
