I just got back from the pre-screening of "Miss Congeniality 2" (a friend and I got the passes from our university newspaper, we had to go to their office and sing the song from the first Miss Congeniality, that Gracie sings to Eric. Embarrassing, but hey, it got us a free movie!) anyway, it was much better than I thought it would be! When I first heard that Miss Congeniality 2 was coming out I was disappointed, because I really liked the original and was afraid that the sequel would ruin it, or detract from it. But it didn't, I actually enjoyed it and laughed out loud several times. Diedrich Bader does a very good job as Joel, Gracie's stylist. I think he'd be my favourite character. It was funny to see Abraham Benrubi as someone other than ER's Jerry. Anyway, I digress. All in all it was an enjoyable movie, not the best ever and not better than the original, but definitely worth seeing. I'd give it 6.5 or 7 out of 10.
