Warning--Possible spoilers.
The original Miss Congeniality was one of my favorite movies and clearly my favorite Sandra Bullock movie by far. I have been looking forward to a sequel to it for years.
The original was a wonderful film that was a romantic comedy, something that Miss Bullock is great at. I was wondering how they would handle the second film, after all it would be hard to have a romantic comedy with the same character again. The answer is that they switched it to a buddy flick, with Miss Bullock as Gracie Hart and Regina King as Sam Fuller as the mismatched partners.
When I heard about this I was skeptical of how entertaining this film would be. Turns out it is quite an entertaining film with excellent comedic acting by Sandra Bullock, Regina King, Heather Burns (Isn't she in every Sandra Bullock film?), William Shatner and Enrique Murciano as the over the top beauty and style specialist Jeff Foreman.
The core of the film is of course Sandra Bullock as the Gracie Hart character. I believe Gracie Hart is one of the true original characters in movie history. We all can identify with Gracie. She is a wonderful original and likable character that we all can identify with. Is that often the key to liking any movie, i.e. liking the main character and rooting for that character to overcome all and succeed in the end? Don't expect it to be similar to the first movie but expect to have an enjoyable time watching Miss Bullock as Gracie Hart. I for one hope they will have a third Miss Congeniality film.
