As I have said in recent reviews… Sandra Bullock
really does get better with each new film she does and Miss Congeniality really just
proves my point. She started out in more serious roles and as they get funnier she gets
better.
Sandra Bullock plays FBI Agent Gracie Hart who is by no means a lady of any description
(frightening at times given that I can see so many of my own characteristics in her).
Gracie is a gusty woman who doesn’t take shit from anyone, she doesn’t brush her
hair she wears boots instead of shoes she guzzles meat pies and take away and has one of
those fabulous snorts when she laughs.
After screwing up an important raid she is put on the backburner for a while pending
some discipline. However as the only female which a half decent body she is enlisted
undercover in an exercise at the Miss United States Pageant.
Gracie actually winds up taking in part in the Pageant at Miss New Jersey. After some
extraordinary work from an old Pageant master Victor Melling (Michael Caine) she is
transformed into quite a beautiful young lady and quite a contender for the top spot in
the pageant really.
While she is undergoing the preliminaries as Miss New Jersey she stumbles and breaks a
few of the Pageant traditions but at the same time she comes through with the goods.
You’ll have to watch it to see what happens in the end but you’ll be
entertained along the way so it doesn’t really matter.
