Miss Congeniality
17 June 2021
Miss Congeniality has Sandra Bullock as kick ass Gracie Hart. A FBI agent who prefers to be one of the lads.

The unglamorous and frumpy Gracie is gung ho who finds herself going undercover when a terrorist threatens to blow up a national beauty pageant.

Vic Melling (Michael Caine) has the task of turning Gracie into a graceful beauty contestant. Gracie needs to find out just who the baddie is but she keeps falling over her high heels.

Eric Matthews (Benjamin Bratt) is the team leader who never trusts Gracie's instincts.

Miss Congeniality would had worked if the lead actress was really a butch tomboy that would magnificently turn into a swan.

I never believed Bullock was an ugly duckling who preferred beers with the boys and getting into fights.

This is a loose and frothy action romantic comedy that is not that funny and has little action. It relies too much on pratfalls.

Caine does best as the veteran gay pageant coach but the movie is lukewarm.
