Verdict on Miss Congeniality 2: Armed & Fabulous

Miss Congeniality 2: Armed & Fabulous brings Gracie back for her latest case. However, this time she has embraced her feminine side more. She must lead an investigation to discover who has kidnapped her friends from the pageant.

This movie changes everything about Gracie, but it maintains her determination to solve a crime. She shows that working with others becomes a strength for her. The mystery sees the pair going through Las Vegas as they look to find bumbling criminals. This is a weakness in the movie, we learn who the criminals are early on, and they have no real threat to anyone involved. The movie feels like a solid sequel, that gets the basic right without being ground breaking. Despite this, Sandra Bullock and Regina King are excellent together.

Final ThoughtsMiss Congeniality 2: Armed & Fabulous is a solid sequel that is carried by Sandra Bullock and Regina King’s chemistry.
