Review Summary
Wading through this junky sequel to her genial goofball hit "Miss Congeniality," Sandra Bullock looks as if she would rather be shoveling pig waste — though of course in some respects that is exactly what she's doing. Set a mere three weeks after the first film, which was released in 2000, "Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous" finds Ms. Bullock as the charmingly clumsy F.B.I. agent Gracie Hart, vainly fending off unwanted celebrity. On her last assignment, Gracie infiltrated a beauty pageant by metamorphosing from duckling to swan, a mission that earned her legions of fans across the country. After hers cover is blown during a bank heist, endangering her and the other agents on her team, the powers that be decide that she should become "the face of the F.B.I.," the idea being that flouncing about in designer threads will be better for Gracie’s soul and career and by extension, this movie than pushing pencils. It isn’t. — Manohla Dargis
