Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting/choking/torture/growling/medical/references to the rainbow community, racism, animal cruelty, suicide and bodily functions -periods.

Well this sequel was hardly going to work was it?: Briefly; after returning to work a few weeks after [the previous instalment] FBI Special Agent Gracie Hart/other name [Sandra Bullock:] is back at work, but now is struggling to deal with her celebrity status and consequently putting any field work and colleagues in jeopardy because of it. So she is offered the opportunity to be the poster person for the FBI and come out with a book entitled "From Misdemeanors to Miss Congeniality" and does the promotional tour, including she has security detail in the form of FBI Agent Sam Fuller [Regina King:] she doesn't have the best reputation across the board in the FBI as she has in in short labelled difficult to work with in fact she and Special Agent Hart don't exactly get along either, but then again it was either take this opportunity or you can leave the FBI. But when Special Agent Hart's still relatively new friend in trouble [familiar faces,] she is on the case with or without Agent Fuller's help.

Generally speaking: the script/storyline, character developments, framework and pacing; will the script/storyline just doesn't work on the grounds of roughly speaking for us it has been 5 years, but the world but this film is in, it has been only months: it is an incredibly lazy and garbage script/storyline if I was to be brutally honest and on top of that we get some kind of level of reset as it relates to Special Agent Hart: would means it shows that she has not learned very little from the previous instalment, consequently the framework and pacing of this 115 minutes film is tiresome.

Action, comedy and art; I mean the only thing I can really point out in the opening section and then some is other than these two agents fighting one another we also have the usage of this gun practice elements were essentially if you're old enough you will remember seeing this video game in the arcades: Mad Dog McCree 1990 [first-person-shooter:] where you had a Western plot and you had a gun control and you have to take care of business and don't forget to reload your gun by shooting off the screen, but what we have here is basically is more of a present-day version with the fun aspects taken out as it a piece of serious training equipment. Later on we have our two agents trying to verbally assist another FBI personnel to escape with this Intel as they individually tell him what to say in his ear pierced, but eventually they fail, then we have this Tina Turner sequence; which is comical and colourful and then finally we have this underwater sequence of events with Special Agent Hart pushing this character into this water as she walks on by.

Character developments and performances; putting to one side what I said earlier for a minute; as stand-alone character developments they are; paint by numbers versions of what they are meant to be on all cases and that reflects on to a vast majority of the performances as well; but at least Bullock and King tried to put some enthusiasm into their personalities; into their individual characters and/or this partnership; let's be honest this partnership carries this sequel and it is a waste of their talents.

This film receives: 4/10, this film is mixed; I decided to award this project another mark based on as I have just illustrated and said this partnership carries this project, so based on that they deserve an excellent mark, there are some extra bits and pieces in the closing credits. This film also has some awards to its name and no they are not all positive ones; such as Positive: 2 Winners BET Awards 2005 BET Award Best Actress Regina King Shared with: A Cinderella Story · Ray and Teen Choice Awards 2005 Teen Choice Award Choice Movie Actress: Comedy Sandra Bullock, 5 Nominees which include but not limited to from the same award/ceremony Choice Movie Dance Scene Sandra Bullock Regina King For Gracie and Sam as Vegas showgirls: Negative: which also include but not limited to The Stinkers Bad Movie Awards 2005 Stinker Award Less Than Dynamic Duo Sandra Bullock Regina King
