It almost takes too much effort to criticize Miss Congeniality. Why waste it when its obvious the filmmakers didnt have the energy to even attempt a halfway decent movie. Miss Congeniality is too lame and innocuous to be terrible; in fact you actually forget about it the minute you reach for your coat during the ending credits.
The phrase Sandra Bullock comedy has joined Winner of the Eastern Romania Film Festival and Starring Chevy Chase as warning signs that a movie is doomed to suck. To be honest, we dont dislike Sandra, its just that shes like a jar of NutellaOK in small doses, but you eat the whole jar and youre vomiting brown sludge.
In case you were wondering what happened to all those girls who auditioned for cheerleader parts in Bring It On and got cut, they ended up in Miss Congeniality as pageant contestants. Quite frankly, picking on vacuous beauty pageants is just too easy (and been done to death), and Sandra Bullock is supposed to be a tough, hard-nosed FBI agent who has to be trained to be a cutsey Barbie doll? Who cast that one? This movie would be more believable in reversewed like to see them trying to make Sandra seem even remotely threatening. Plus, youve gotta love a crime movie in which no one seems even vaguely concerned with solving the crime. The only good thing about Miss Congeniality is Michael Caines bitchy make-over guru and the prescence of William Shatner (even though hes done better work in those Priceline.com commercials).
