Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous
So you think Sandra Bullock is cute and sexy? So you’ve been missing your mental health check ups lately? The world didn’t need MC1, let along a second dose of saccharine strychnine cuteness.
But there you go and here it is, featuring ol’ MC herself doing all her wonderfully endearing mugging for camera like smoked pork hung out to dry (just like that bomb in Speed, all she wants to do is become, and explode in your face). There is a plot which sees ol’ MC go underground at a beauty pageant in Vegas, charged with the job of retrieving her kidnapped friends – Heather Burns and that ol’ Trekkie William Shatner, proving that a name can sometimes give an accidental cue to the quality of the material.
But as Triumph would say, I keed, I keed. Amazingly the show did A$8 million at the box office in Australia. Shows you can fool some of the punters all of the time. You really need to allow for a good stiff drink or two in the rental budget to help you through this stinker, and make sure you buy plenty of artificially coloured and flavoured popcorn, which will contain more nourishment, flavor, and crisp crunchy good humor than can be found in the show’s laborious 115 minute running time.
Still, if you’ve had a time with your gay stylist, here you can get more of the same. Such a scream darlink. And on the shelves September 22nd.
