Critic Reviews

Lisa Schwarzbaum

Isn't exactly good - like "Legally Blonde 2," it's a more exaggerated, less buoyant sequel to what should have been a one-off comedy - but it's enjoyable. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

Screenwriter Marc Lawrence, who worked on the original, throws in unbelievable plot twists merely as excuses for comic mayhem. Read full review

Robert Koehler

Lame and inoffensive. Read full review

David Chute

The only thing remotely resembling a character arc is handed to Regina King, the ferocious Margie Hendricks in "Ray." Read full review

Roger Ebert

It's unnecessary in the sense that there is no good reason to go and actually see it. Read full review

Marjorie Baumgarten

Without better material, Bullock’s talents will remain undercover. Read full review

Scott Tobias

Even as sequels to bad comedies go, Miss Congeniality 2 seems completely at a loss for fresh ideas. Read full review

Miss Congeniality: Armed and fabulous has better dialogue that can make up for its sequel shortcomings.

It's surprisingly halarious. Some of the jokes are still in my head; 'do you have an euthanasia program?' lol!

Disposable but still enjoyable. Plot doesn't stray from expectations. Dialogue sometimes obtuse, but there's some snappy zingers in there as good as the original, like advice on breaking up with a guy, "you just beat him up and move one."

Like "Legally Blonde 2", this film is a less fun second installment to a comedy whose legacy would've been untarnished if not for the sequel. The jokes in this film are a little less punchy, and the script is more clunky.

Really a chore to get through, Bullock and King's best efforts are wasted on the simplest of stereotypes and concepts.

I was in a bad mood when I saw this and it put me in even a worse mood. I liked the original but this stunk to high heaven.
