Miss Congeniality
Directed by Donald Petrie
When the local FBI office receives a letter from a terrorist known only as 'The Citizen', it's quickly determined that he's planning his next act at the Miss America beauty pageant. Because tough-as-nails Gracie Hart is the only female agent at the office, she's chosen to go undercover as the contestant from New Jersey. From TMDB

60 of 166 · most liked firstWatching Miss Congeniality because I enjoy the naivity of the '90s where movie producers thought we would all collectively pretend Sandra Bullock with slightly frizzy hair wasn't the hottest woman alive, and you know what, we did it. We believed.
positive · AI labelView post →“Can you name a single character from the movie?” Whether the type of person who likes to memorise all the names of characters in movies likes a movie isn’t a measure of whether the film is culturally impactful. Name a character from Miss Congeniality. Name a character from Sleepless in Seattle

neutral · AI labelView post →Screenwriting pro-tip: put a specific date in your script so that once a year the internet meme machine will promote your movie for free. (It helps if the rest of your script is as brilliant as Hot Fuzz, Miss Congeniality, or Mean Girls)
neutral · AI labelView post →It’s funny because this was clearly a big influence on the movie Miss Congeniality, but in that equivalence Michael Caine is playing the Rex Harrison proxy and he has exactly the kind of “Commoner” accent this entire story is about people being barred from high society over
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Miss Congeniality tonight for the first time (April 25) and it was fun. It was absolutely a movie from the year 2000 but honestly just a fun time.

neutral · AI labelView post →If you’re a real witch you wouldn’t be supporting that movie. 💯 Miss Congeniality believes women will be left behind if they don’t subscribe to gen ai. And the movie isn’t original source, they specifically changed the story so her daughter is straight. We and Miss Wood deserved better. 💜

positive · AI labelView post →You ever notice how SISTER ACT, LEGALLY BLONDE, and MISS CONGENIALITY are basically the same movie? This isn't a bug, it's a feature, it's why they've remained sorta timeless and endlessly re-watchable, it's because 'plot' doesn't matter.

neutral · AI labelView post →The movie is Miss Congeniality. It's about Sandra Bullock as an FBI agent going undercover at a beauty pageant. I'm not sure I'd call it a cultural touchstone, but from what I remember watching it years ago it's pretty entertaining.
