Miss Congeniality
Sandra Bullock returns to form in this energetic comedy from director Donald Petrie that focuses on the world of beauty pageants. When a terrorist threatens the Miss United States competition, Bullock's determinedly unfeminine FBI agent is drafted in as a contestant. Pampered and preened by contest expert Michael Caine (who doesn't allow his campness to stray into caricature), Bullock uncovers her own feminine side and has some of her preconceptions shattered. Her relationship with FBI colleague Benjamin Bratt sparkles with sexual chemistry and the gags come thick and fast. The antics of the competition's hosts, Candice Bergen and William Shatner, are slightly overplayed, but on the whole this is great fun.
