Editorial Review:
Sandra Bullock stars as a bumbling female FBI agent assigned to go undercover as a participant in the Miss United States beauty pageant when it is discovered that one of the contestants is being targeted for murder. Benjamin Bratt leads the undercover team, while also playing the reluctant love interest. Candice Bergen and William Shatner manage the pageant and hire Michael Caine to turn Bullock from rough and tumble agent to stunning beauty queen. The physical transformation is impressive, although the klutzy personality remains. Everything seems to be fine once the killer is suddenly caught, but Bullock suspects there is more to this story, and the truth eventually unfolds with an unexpected twist. For her part, Bullock received a Golden Globe nomination for best actress, and heads the star-studded cast in the year's most hilarious comedy.
"Miss Congeniality" is now the official first runner up on my comedies list. The concept interested me, but the result was beyond what I expected.
For one thing, the acting was superb. This was the first Sandra Bullock movie I saw, and I loved it. Michael Caine was excellent as always. Will Shatner also fit the part perfectly, as did Candice Bergan.
For another, the writing was excellent. In fact, I could argue if this really was a comedy. Yes, it had its share of comic moments, but so did Jurassic Park. This movie had such a natural flow that the suspension of disbelief was minimal.
I won't spoil any surprises, but I loved Sandra's answer to the question at the contest. In fact, that fits my personality as well.
I love movies about someone who has to rise to the occassion, and this is another that fits into that category. The ending was superb as well.
Okay, now go get this movie. You got that?

I Thought I'd Like This; I Never Dreamed This Would Become One Of My All-Time Favorite Comedies!
My favorite comedy of all time is the original "That Darn Cat". Always has been, always will be. My second favorite was "Seems Like Old Times" with Chevy Chase, Charles Grodin, and Goldie Hawn. Note the present tense "is" with the first movie, and the past tense "was" with the second?

So Funny....
Life is too full of gory movies that make you sick to your stomach, this movie is just funny. Sandra Bullock could have been me when I was young, the klutz in heels. I am glad I bought it so I can watch it when ever I need a lift and a laugh. 2008-03-20
