Sandra Bullock plays her typical “cutsy” self in yet another predictable comedy. Due to a bomb threat from a terrorist group, Gracie Hart (Sandra Bullock), a tomboy FBI agent is forced to go undercover as a contestant of the “Miss USA” beauty pageant where the threat was aimed. The transformation from agent to beauty queen is challenging to say the least for Gracie, most of the movie’s humor stems from the antics surrounding this “makeover”. A definite chick-flick. If you’re in the mood to just “chill out” with the girls and put your mind in neutral, this trite comedy is just for you. | |
