SYNOPSIS
Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous catches up with FBI Agent Gracie Hart (SANDRA BULLOCK) shortly after she successfully disarmed a threat against the Miss United States Pageant while working undercover as a contestant in Miss Congeniality and became an overnight media sensation.

Things haven’t been going so well for her lately. Reeling from a broken romance and frustrated to find her newfound fame is jeopardizing the undercover work she loves, Gracie reluctantly lets her boss, Agent McDonald (ERNIE HUDSON), talk her into serving the Bureau in the only way now possible: coifed and styled for the talk show circuit as “the face of the FBI.” Capitalizing on the greatest PR coup in agency history, the FBI presses their new poster girl into a whirl of photo ops where she re-enacts her pageant exploits to an adoring public, with the help of personal stylist Joel (DIEDRICH BADER) to smooth her rougher edges.

Though resistant at first, Gracie soon warms to the attention and it’s not long before she’s getting into her new role a little too much. Her new partner Sam Fuller (REGINA KING), a tough, ambitious agent who is clearly not her biggest fan, is the first to point out that the pampered Bureau star is turning into FBI Barbie.

But when Gracie’s best friends, pageant winner Cheryl Frazier and emcee Stan Fields (HEATHER BURNS and WILLIAM SHATNER, reprising their Miss Congeniality roles) are kidnapped in Las Vegas, Gracie’s crime-fighting instincts kick back in.

Not wanting to risk losing their high-profile mascot, the FBI top brass sideline her to press conference duty in Las Vegas and send Sam along as her bodyguard, leaving local FBI supervisor Collins (TREAT WILLIAMS) to spearhead the rescue effort while junior agent Jeff Foreman (ENRIQUE MURCIANO) tries to keep Gracie and her entourage safely out of the way till its all over.

Miss Congeniality 2 was definitely worth $8.00. I’m always a little skeptical when it comes to sequels, but this one held true to its predecessor in humor. It developed a surprisingly mature theme and carried the storyline through realistically from the first film. After all, what do you do with an undercover FBI agent who enters a beauty pageant and saves the world? Give her publicity! What else?

This film picks up where the pageant leaves off and transforms Gracie Hart’s (Sandra Bullock) still rough edges into smooth, refined lines. The story explores what glamour, fame and star training can do for a person: primarily nothing other than trade one’s inner beauty for an exterior face lift. Learning the phrase, “People care about people who care about themselves,” Gracie defies her true nature of caring for others in order to become the new “Face of the FBI.” Although her initial intent is to help the FBI by giving them good publicity, she quickly morphs into a less than human show poodle whose main concern is staying in the spotlight. Even her book signings become meaningless events where she minimizes individuals and passes on the lies she has believed.
