This is OK - REALLY.

A Customer from The East Midlands, 14th October, 2005

If you want to while away about an hour and three-quarters with an undemanding, light-hearted piece of entertainment - sign up for this and don't let the bad reviews put you off. It's not a taut psychological thriller; it's not a masterpiece of thought-provoking political satire; it's not a CGI-overloaded science fiction masterpiece or a gut-wrenching horror flick. What did you guys expect it to be? It may not make you laugh out loud - but it made us smile a lot. It's not supposed to be realistic. (No-one can hold their breath underwater that long!) And Sandra Bullock is supposed to look 'a bit rough' in a lot of the film - was that too subtle for you to grasp or were you not even watching it? If it's not your cup of tea (and a lot of people won't enjoy it) then go and watch something else and don't clutter up this website with statements of the obvious.

1hr and 40 mins of my life I am not getting back.

Terence Healey from Aylesbury, 23rd July, 2005

My girlfriend desperately wanted to see this movie and honestly I am not opposed to the odd chick flick! This was just bad though, the highlight was when I managed to catch forty winks near the end. A great shame really as it would have been better if I feel asleep at the start. Story is weak and they didn't even manage to get Micheal Caine back. Miss Bullock even looks a bit rough!

Shameless cash in

I loved Miss Congeniality 1 - Gracie Hart was a great creation, Michael Caine was wonderfully camp and the whole thing rolicked along, I'm fond of Sandra Bullock as an actress anyway. Now we come to the sequel. This was a pale imitation of the first film, but in the absence of almost everything that made the first one good, they tried for a buddy movie, but didn't spend enough time developing the characters and their relationship for this ever to be realistic. In fact, we don't even like Gracie for a good part of the film, she's not meant to be likeable and she isn't. Unfortunately cheering on Gracie is the whole point. My recommendation would be to skip this trash and watch the first one again instead. Surely Sandra Bullock is in such demand that she doesn't have to do rubbish like this.

Federal Bureau of Entertainment

George05 from Somerset, 5th April, 2005

The first Miss Congeniality film was silly, unrealistic, and slapstick, and, what's more, featured William Shatner from start to finish. But it was also hilarious, and is many a film lover's dirty little secret - hidden behind Emmanuelle, most likely.

The second, an unexpected development, doesn't quite hit the spot as often as the first, but after a marginally agonising start, soon becomes as silly and entertaining as its predecessor. Sandra Bullock is great in her return as snorting Fed Gracie Hart, particularly in the search for Stan Fields' mother in a Las Vegas retirement home. There are no awards heading this film's way, but there's nothing like a bit of good old family fun, is there, eh?

Didn't grab me

cariboo from from Liverpool, 14th September, 2008

The kind of film to watch with friends - it works as a background to drinking and chatting. Nothing much else though

Goog 'Follow-Up'

A Customer from Bury St. Edmunds, 24th August, 2008

This is a GOOD Follow-Up film for Miss Congeniality, which was wonderfully funny and thoroughly enjoyable. Hard act to follow but this was a-l-m-o-s-t on a par.
