What makes it different from others?

One of the best films i have seen

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Sandra Bullock is back as Gracie Hart in this half decent sequel where her best friend (who happened to have won the beauty contest back in the first movie )is kidnapped along with the host and its up to Gracie to save them.Of course she broke up with Eric from the first movie and she is now teamed up with Sam Fuller(Regina King from A Cinderella Story)who is a tough cookie cop who doesn't get along with Gracie as the two don't get along at all. So Gracie goes to Las Vegas undercover again and meets Sean Maguire who also happens to help her and Fuller. But will Gracie save her best friend and the host of the beauty contest?Now before I admit what I thought of it I just want to say that the first one was a very good movie so does this one hold up.......well not exactly. There is one scene where Sandra Bullock disguises herself as an old woman in a retirement village and later as a drag queen with Sam Fuller acting as a male version of Tina Turner and that was funny but not as good as the first one.My advice watch the first one instead of this one.A decent film and for that I am giving it a C-

Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous (2005): Dir: John Pasquin / Cast: Sandra Bullock, Regina King, Heather Burns, William Shatner, Ernie Hudson: Fabulous is hardly a word to describe this pathetic geek show about confidence. Sandra Bullock returns as Gracie Hart who moves up to promoting the image of the F.B.I. through talk shows until her beauty pageant friend and emcee are kidnapped. Typical sequel is pointless and stupid. Director John Pasquin does what he can with absolutely nothing. He previously made the creative Christmas comedy The Santa Clause but none of that creative process is featured here. Bullock has been playing this persona her whole career and it's getting old. Her snorting doesn't help any either. Regina King is pretty standard as Bullock's bodyguard whom she will be at odds with before the screenplay throws in the predicted kiss and makeup session. Heather Burns and William Shatner play the kidnap victims but this is probably within their favour seeing that the film sucks and being forced away can only improve their association with it. Ernie Hudson also makes an appearance although it must have occurred to him that this is nowhere near as rewarding as Ghostbusters. While production is passable the screenplay is a by the numbers deals existing because the first overrated junk made money. Lame sequel would make a great object for target practice. Score: 3 / 10

Gracie Hart (Sandra Bullock) is too famous for her job as undercover FBI agent. Agent Eric Matthews ends their relationship, and she doesn't do well. She decides to take the FBI media relations job.Ten months later, Gracie is a cold hearted media darling of the FBI. Angry agent Sam Fuller (Regina King) is assigned as Gracie's protection. When pageant winner Cheryl Frasier (Heather Burns) and pageant host Stan Fields (William Shatner) are kidnapped, Gracie is call in to be media spokesperson on the case.This starts off badly in the wake of Gracie's relationship's demise. And she turns into a bitch. In one fell swoop, the movie destroys what made the original watchable. They make the dorky adorable Bullock and turn her into a mean sparkly drama queen. It is the worst move they could possibly try. It never fully recovers from it.

Sandra Bullock returns as the FBI agent glammed up in the original movie to go undercover at a beauty pageant. This time, her exploits in the first episode have made her instantly recognisable to the public at large – something of a drawback when you're trying to work undercover. To overcome this problem, the agency makes her the face of the FBI, appearing in chat shows and at book signings, dressed up to the nines and totally losing touch with the real her. Only when her old friends Miss USA and William Shatner are kidnapped and held to ransom does she return to butt-kicking normal.The big idea here is to reverse the original film – glamorous personality becomes dressed-for-action cop – and as ideas go it's singularly dreary and unattractive. Miss Bullock is here given a testy fellow-agent with the unlikely name of Sam Fuller, and their relationship follows the timeworn mismatched buddy arc with such bovine lack of imagination that as I watched I half-expected the characters themselves to become as bored with each other as I had. Everyone involved up there on the screen seems to know exactly what is going on: a cynical attempt by the studio to cash in on an original that succeeded beyond their expectations. So keen were the accountants to capitalise on that success that they calculated the quota of laughs required is immaterial. I mean, why bother? Everybody remembers Miss Congeniality and how funny it was, that'll be more than enough to recoup the cost of the second-string cast and production costs, leaving the way clear to make a modest but commercially acceptable profit. After all, there's not many ask for their money back once they've been lured into the cinema…Bill Shatner might have been able to liven things up a little had he been given the chance, but his part is relegated to little more than half a dozen lines. Bullock looks like she's focusing on her next big part and can't wait to get this liability out of the way, while Treat Williams wonders where it all went wrong.
