'Miss Congeniality 2': Congenial, but not fabulous
by John DeFore
One accusation you can't make against "Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous" is that audiences won't know what they're getting into. Even as cookie-cutter sequels go, this one is particularly unsurprising; moviegoers who laughed at the first movie and would rather go out this weekend than watch it again on DVD will likely get just what they want.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: C-
" ... the irresistible Sandra Bullock does her best to keep things going in the face of a silly, slapped-together script."
Austin American-Statesman: C
"... catfights, a drag-queen musical sequence, lip gloss and William Shatner. What more could you want on a Friday night?"
The Palm Beach Post: B-
"Gracie is a comfortable character for Bullock's amiable comedy skills, but screenwriter Marc Lawrence seems stumped for something interesting for her to do."
The Palm Beach Post "Flick Chick"
"If movie reviews were a beauty pageant, 'Miss Congeniality 2' would win 'Miss Nice To See You Again, Better Luck Next Time.'"
