Very Silly and Not So Funny as the Original Movie

The FBI agent Gracie Hart (Sandra Bullock) is assigned to promote the FBI, touring with the brutal agent Sam Fuller (Regina King) as her bodyguard. While traveling around the country, her friend and Miss USA is kidnapped with Stan Fields (William Shatner), and Gracie decides to investigate the abduction in Las Vegas by her own and against the direct orders of local chief Collins (Treat Williams).

I am very disappointed with this sequel. The first "Miss Congeniality" was a funny movie, but this one is very silly indeed. There are few good moments when I laughed, but the story is horrible and corny, and the character of Sam Fuller is awful, being too much imbecile and stupid for my taste. I recently bought the two first seasons of "Star Trek" and I was also impressed how bad and finished William "Captain Kirk" Shatner is. I hope the producers be ashamed and do not release a "Miss Congeniality 3". My vote is five.

Title (Brazil):"Miss Simpatia 2 – Armada e Poderosa" ("Miss Congeniality 2 – Armed and Powerful")
