It's a good thing Sandra Bullock knows her strengths and weaknesses, because without Bullock as star and producer, Miss Congeniality would be an insufferable mess as opposed to being a mildly enjoyable trifle that is custom-made for Bullock's established screen persona. Only Bullock's fans could really appreciate this fluff (even then they'll wish its ripe premise had been more intelligently handled), but it's not without some highlights to accompany Bullock's reliable charms. Here she plays clumsy, nerdy FBI agent Gracie Hart, who is given the horrific pseudonym Gracie Lou Freebush (one example of the movie's juvenile tendencies) when assigned to infiltrate a beauty pageant to investigate threats of a terrorist attack.

She's a wiener!**.......2007-05-23

** From the lyrics to Tom Jones' hit song "She's a Lady" (played over the closing credits):

Well, she's all you'll ever want
She's the kind I'd like to flaunt
And take to deener.

Well she always knows her place
She's got style, she's got grace
She's a wiener!

I put off watching this movie for a long time, as I generally don't laugh at the comedies Hollywood produces these days. When I did finally watch, however, I had a wonderful hour and a half. It is an absurd situation - an FBI agent (Sandra Bullock) must transform herself from a tough tomboy to a beauty pageant contestant in just two days in order to thwart a unibomber-type domestic terrorist who has targeted the Miss United States pageant.

Bullock is charming, as is the entire supporting cast - including William Shatner who seems to be having fun in his Bert Parks-like pageant emcee role. Michael Caine glides lightly in his loafers as Bullock's handler and makeover artiste.

All in all, a very enjoyable way to spend an evening. Congratulations to everyone involved in making a light and fun piece of entertainment. "Miss Congeniality" is a real wiener!

I have both movies Miss Congeniality and they are funny comedys. I love Sandra Bullock as an actress.I have other movies she has done and they are also great.

FBI Sandra - rulezzzz !!!.......2007-01-25

The directors have done a superb job. Making Sandra Bullock very believable as a sloppy woman not taking care of herself. Some good comedy and a 'nice' story. A general all round, this film won't have you guessing the plot, but it does invoke that feel good factor.

This film was incredibly funny and it must be viewed several times before all the jokes and gags have been made clear. Fantastic movie!

Just Love this gal! Sandra Bullock is just wonderful in every part she plays!.......2007-01-21

This gal could do a movie standing on her head and I'd love it. She is one of my favorites. She is a gifted actor. She is funny and plays the comedian and yet can take being humiliated like water off a duck! She can be serious and tug at your heart. She is talented enough to meet it all. I have just about movie she performs in. She's a trip...literally!

Miss Congeniality.......2007-01-10

An interesting, if implausible, plot. The story is followable, which is often not true of contemporary films. The plot is well timed.
