Summary: FBI Agent Gracie Hart (Sandra Bullock) is the most ungraceful, ill-tempered, ill-mannered tomboy on the face of the earth. Her next assignment- go undercover as a hopeful for the next Miss United States Pageant to stop a madman out to blow up the pageant. Her FBI colleague (Benjamin Bratt) and her personal beauty pageant trainer (Michael Caine) have a lot of work to do. The task of turning Gracie into a beauty contestant is not an easy one- but it is a funny one. As the clock nears the time, Gracie must grin and bear it as she attempts to stop the heinous crime.

Review:

Tim: This film was simply hilarious. Sandra Bullock is at her comic best as the foul mouthed Gracie Hart. Michael Caine is hysterical as her trainer. Benjamin Bratt supports the movie wonderfully. Shatner and Hudson make key performances as well. While the plot of the movie is unbelievable and at times silly(her undercover name is Gracie-Lou Freebush). However, the incredible acting and the comic scenes more than make up for it.

Miss Congeniality is a comic masterpiece which simply is irresistible. Sandra Bullock is at her best, and with this movie you simply can't go wrong. It's an entertaining time.
