Miss Congeniality
- Rating:
- Director: Donald Petrie
- Starring: Benjamin Bratt
- Details: US / 110 mins (12PG).
Tough Fed Bullock goes undercover at the Miss America Beauty Pageant in order to stop a lunatic bomber and finds that being a beauty queen is tougher than law enforcement. A one-gag movie that depends for its humour on Bullock tottering on high heels quite a bit, this is still an inoffensive offering that showcases Bullock at her crowd-pleasing best.
