Silly but mildly entertaining farce.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 1, 2006

Whether back in her ill-fitting suit, sunglasses and sensible shoes or strutting around in a showgirl outfit so canary yellow you'd swear she was Big Bird, Bullock is wonderful, illuminating [things] with superstar sass singularly her own.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 2, 2005

This, to me, is a classic example of a sequel that was just made because the first one made money. I didn't even like the first one.

Without better material, Bullock's talents will remain undercover.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Mar 27, 2005

Like its predecessor, Miss Congeniality 2 is by turns a predictable and outlandishly contrived take on the Pygmalion myth.

| Mar 25, 2005

Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous is enjoyable in patches, but only because of the goodwill that most of us still have toward Sandra Bullock.

Full Review | Mar 25, 2005

Deliriously funny if instantly forgettable.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 24, 2005

There is no good reason to go and actually see it.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 24, 2005

Nothing with so many people in drag should feel this draggy.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 24, 2005

You figure Bullock would have learned her lesson about sequels after the Speed 2 fiasco. MC2 isn't that bad, but it puts its star's charms to the test.

Lame and inoffensive.

Full Review | Mar 24, 2005

A pretty laughless affair.

| Mar 24, 2005

Sporadically amusing but sometimes slogging.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 24, 2005

Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous lacks even the limited amusement and appeal brought to the original as a result of some shrewd casting.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 24, 2005

Entertaining and heartwarming.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 24, 2005

A boilerplate action comedy.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 24, 2005

It isn't just that Miss Congeniality 2 is nearly absent a single genuine laugh; it's that instead of a screenplay and a story we now have stereotypes and sketch comedy.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 24, 2005

Mildly amusing, but hardly fabulous and awfully long.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 24, 2005

The first film had its moments, not to mention Benjamin Bratt. But this one's contrived enthusiasm for itself is misplaced.
