Yeah, something went horribly wrong. I gave this a 5 because it was terrible but I didn't add anybody to my list of people to avoid. 6 is the minimum rating I give for shows I'll re-watch, making 5 the max for the opposite.I can't even say it's worth seeing once. Indeed, if you liked the first one, maybe don't taint it by seeing the sequel. It has a great cast but it is just a big fail.

In 2000, Bill Clinton still was the President of the United States; the Twin Towers were erect; John Paul II was the Pope; and a movie called "Miss Congeniality" appeared. This movie was good and better than their sequel, because it was funny and delivered us some laughs. Don't forget Gracie Hart's catchphrase: "And the World's peace!"Five years later, in 2005, George W. Bush started his second period as the President of the United States, the Twin Towers were destroyed, Pope John Paul II died after a long illness, invasion to Iraq was in their peak, North Korea announced it's possession of nuclear weapons...and the film "Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous", which is bad than the original one as the other things that happened on that year.This film tries desperately to cling to the formula of the first film, but without the slob-makeover aspect it loses a lot. Instead somehow Hart is changed by her new look and becomes as superficial as the women she despises in the first film. That seems like an odd personality shift: from a tough FBI agent to a FBI Barbie. As a result of Hart's new personality they have to write in a tough-as-nails partner to keep the action going. Oh, but don't forget that a gay stylist added something to the first film so instead of thinking of a new idea they just include a new gay stylist. Despite this desperate grab to add comedy they don't manage to draw a single laugh in the whole movie.The story is so blah and uninteresting. The clues that Hart finds are extremely obvious and make you wonder what, if anything, the rest of the FBI was doing to solve the case. Perhaps they, like the audience, just didn't care that much about the ransom victims. There are so many plot holes that make zero sense, so many plot points that are added for no apparent reason, and at the end they give the audience the ultimate slap in the face. After spending the whole movie establishing that Hart can't be an ordinary agent because of her notoriety, they make her an agent anyways, as if this new story didn't add to her fame. Basically they copped out because they couldn't figure out a good resolution for the character so they just wrote the ending they thought the audience would like best. That's what Miss Congeniality 2 is all about, trying to cater to an audience instead of trying to tell a good story.P.S.: To the reviewer John Ochiai, yeah sure, it seemed funny to you see a white girl and a black girl fighting themselves, because you are from Asian origin (Japanese). If you're from Japanese descent, you can choose instead the girls from the Super Sentai shows, these are million times better than Bullock and King together.

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-

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.
