Reviews for Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous
Miss Congeniality 2 is one of those sequels that gives sequels a bad name.
04/01/05
O filme claramente ressente a ausência de Michael Caine. (...) Sandra Bullock é uma gracinha, mas não faz milagres.
03/31/05
Trips over itself more than Gracie Hart. And it never gets up.
03/31/05
Nothing more than warmed-up leftovers, a boring and malformed vehicle for an (admittedly very likable) actress who simply can't find anything better to do in Hollywood.
03/31/05
Sometimes, a movie is so abhorrent it’s difficult to think of the appropriate words. When I do, I can’t print them here.
03/31/05
Mild, middle-of-the-road and formulaic.
03/31/05
The subtitle of the film is Armed and Fabulous. I can think of more appropriate words to use. Awful and Forgettable? Atrocious and Foul?
03/30/05
Many bad movies at least make an effort; this one is content to simply lay there, like a fat tick gorged on the blood of complacent moviegoers.
03/30/05
What were the filmmakers thinking? I mean, what besides making a second trip to the barn to milk the $300 million cash cow that was Miss Congeniality?
03/30/05
Sure, "Armed and Fabulous" would like to be considered absolutely fabulous, but "Armed with a Few Laughs" comes closer to the mark. "Amputated by a Weak Script" nails it.
03/30/05
Shatner's forced presence, meanwhile, should have been lost in space.
03/29/05
From its paper-thin plot to the utterly flat script, virtually nothing works.
03/29/05
Whenever the script's writers can't come up with a funny line for her to say or a comic way to conclude a scene, they have Bullock drop or bump into something. That is, when they don't have her fall down.
03/29/05
Any sequel to Miss Congeniality is uncalled for, but it didn’t have to be this staggeringly awful.
03/29/05
Somehow manages to fail to live up to the memory of a film that wasn’t much to begin with.
03/28/05
Bullock lifts an ill conceived screenplay into an area of some appeal. A valiant effort is one kind of recommendation; her overriding huggability another.
03/28/05
As a transparent sequel, this flaccid follow-up has all the creative stability and comic support of a defective high heel shoe.
03/28/05
Dumb. Very dumb.
03/28/05
This, to me, is a classic example of a sequel that was just made because the first one made money. I didn’t even like the first one.
