Because of the notoriety she gained from the Miss United States pageant, Gracie Hart's (Sandra Bullock's) life as an undercover F.B.I. Agent is over. In addition, Agent Eric Matthews (Benjamin Bratt) broke off their relationship which she did not take well. Begrudgingly on the advice her boss, F.B.I. Assistant Director Harry McDonald (Ernie Hudson), Gracie decides to become the F.B.I.'s media relations officer. Ten months later with the assistance of style coach Joel Meyers (Diedrich Bader) and a best-selling book behind her about her experience, Gracie becomes a designer-clad media darling and the made-up face of the F.B.I. The new Gracie is the exact opposite of Agent Sam Fuller (Regina King), a woman who, like Gracie before her pageant experience, has deep seated anger issues. The two do not get along, but that doesn't stop McDonald from assigning Sam to be Gracie's bodyguard. The two are sent to Las Vegas, Nevada when Gracie's friend, reigning Miss United States Cheryl Frasier (Heather Burns), and the long-time Miss United States pageant host Stan Fields (William Shatner) were kidnapped there. At the F.B.I.'s Las Vegas field office, Assistant Director Walter Collins (Treat Williams) wants Gracie solely to be the media spokesperson on the case, but Gracie wants to be back in the field, especially when she uncovers some leads that Collins dismisses. Despite their antagonistic relationship, Gracie and Sam have to work together to follow these leads. Along with them are Joel and insecure F.B.I. Agent Jeff Foreman (Enrique Murciano), the foursome who, in addition to finding Cheryl and Stan, have to elude Collins' other Agents, Collins, who wants Gracie and Sam back on a plane to New York City, and who wants the glory of solving the case for himself.
Leave your thoughts about Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous.
| NewsdayGene SeymourIsn't a noticeable regression from its predecessor. But it's no advancement either, suggesting the risks inherent in franchise filmmaking. |
| FilmJerk.comBrian OrndorfMiss Congeniality 2 is a sour, tedious, unfunny joke for 115 minutes. It may be armed, but it most certainly isn't fabulous. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderThe sequel is predictable, dumb and flaccid, too, but to a greater degree. It is everything its predecessor was, and less. |
| Sun Publications (Chicago, IL)Josh LarsenThe picture is going to have fun with or without you, so you might as well give in. |
| Entertainment SpectrumVince KoehlerI think you will find it quite satisfying. |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereIn the zany tradition of Lucille Ball's Lucy, Goldie Hawn's Private Benjamin and Renee Zellweger's Bridget Jones, we can now add Sandra Bullock's Gracie Hart. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)[MC2 is] like a firecracker that spirals all over the place, exploding in some places and fizzling out in others. Luckily, there is more exploding than fizzling. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam Arnold[Sandra Bullock is] mildly amusing but everything around her is weak. |

| San Antonio Express-NewsLarry RatliffThe overall premise is too flimsy to sustain an ongoing series. It should be two and through for Miss Congeniality. |
