Miss Congeniality

For me personally, it's good entertainment that pokes fun at the modeling industry, an entertainment industry that I find incredibly distasteful. Sandra Bullock and Michael Caine are flawless as a variation of Miss Doolittle and Professor Higgins... and when William "Captain Kirk" Shatner comes into the picture, it's all over:-))) (07.06.2009)

Sandra Bullock is a hard-working girl, she even produced this film herself, but no matter how hard she may try, she cannot hide her acting – not to say comedy – ineptitude. There are plenty of funny scenes, but it's so dumb that it makes you puke. However, one scene is worth mentioning, when Sandra comes out of the hangar with her new supermodel look. She is hot, I have to give her that. (20.04.2003)

Regardless of how silly it was, I must admit I really enjoyed this film. Agent Hart was perfectly cynical (at least on the outside), had a unique laugh, masterfully played on glasses of water, and, with enough padding, she could get a job as a beer maid at Oktoberfest. On the other hand, the story couldn't have been simpler and more predictable. I hadn't considered Sandra Bullock a great actress until Crash (2004) (although I’ve always found her nice to look at). I should really give the film three stars tops, but I just can’t bring myself to do it. I had a decent time practically against my will and even the lame ending couldn't spoil it for me. I was made to feel good (almost by force), which I've got to appreciate. / Lesson: Even the silliest skill can come in handy in life. (12.10.2022)
