Critic Reviews

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.

-Richard RoeperFull Review

Like its predecessor, Miss Congeniality 2 is by turns a predictable and outlandishly contrived take on the Pygmalion myth.

-Ann HornadayFull Review

Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous is enjoyable in patches, but only because of the goodwill that most of us still have toward Sandra Bullock.

-David EdelsteinFull Review

The movie seems so enamored of its own charms that even the outtakes have a slightly calculated feel.

-Robert Denerstein

Deliriously funny if instantly forgettable.

-Carrie Rickey

There is no good reason to go and actually see it.

-Roger EbertFull Review

Nothing with so many people in drag should feel this draggy.

-Wesley MorrisFull Review

You figure Bullock would have learned her lesson about sequels after the Speed 2 fiasco. MC2 isn't that bad, but it puts its star's charms to the test.

-Randy CordovaFull Review

Lame and inoffensive.

-Robert KoehlerFull Review

A pretty laughless affair.

-Jen ChaneyFull Review

Sporadically amusing but sometimes slogging.

-Mike ClarkFull Review

Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous lacks even the limited amusement and appeal brought to the original as a result of some shrewd casting.

-Susan WalkerFull Review

Entertaining and heartwarming.

-Judy Chia Hui HsuFull Review

A boilerplate action comedy.

-Mick LaSalleFull Review

This is one hideous excuse for a motion picture -- the kind of steaming sewage that occasionally makes life as a film critic seem like an exercise in self-immolation.

-James BerardinelliFull Review

Not fabulous, barely even congenial, Armed and Fabulous lets us see the end of Bullock's stardom, even if she doesn't.

-Roger MooreFull Review

The jokes are hit or miss, but the appealing teamwork of Bullock and King gives the movie gleam.

-Lisa RoseFull Review

It isn't just that Miss Congeniality 2 is nearly absent a single genuine laugh; it's that instead of a screenplay and a story we now have stereotypes and sketch comedy.

-Manohla DargisFull Review

Mildly amusing, but hardly fabulous and awfully long.

-Lou Lumenick

The first film had its moments, not to mention Benjamin Bratt. But this one's contrived enthusiasm for itself is misplaced.

-Jami BernardFull Review

Miss Congeniality is the sort of tedious and generic sequel that gives the number 2 a bad name.

-Colin CovertFull Review

It's as original as a pageant contestant advocating world peace.

-Connie OgleFull Review

Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous is as awful as the original was inspired.

-Kevin ThomasFull Review

It's absurd and predictable, but fans of the first movie should like this at least as much.

-Eric HarrisonFull Review

Bullock deserves better. We deserve better.

-Stephen ColeFull Review

MC 2 is one limp, dead fish of a comedy, all predictable characters and nonsensical storylines, filled with cheap would-be yuks and loads of talented people picking up paychecks.

-Tom Long

Like most sequels, Miss Congeniality 2 is just a dumbed-down version of a concept that wasn't that bright to begin with.

-John MonaghanFull Review

Miss Congeniality 2 has some laughs, but many of the jokes seem desperate.

-Lisa KennedyFull Review

Miss Congeniality 2's target audience is those desperate for entertainment.

-Philip WuntchFull Review

An exhausting, predictable, even maddening moviegoing experience.

-Allison BenediktFull Review
