"I haven't seen a walk like that since Jurassic Park!" – Victor Melling on Gracie's gait.

Why watch this? Sure, Bullock is a pretty face, but here she really shows her acting talents.

Plot Summary: Gracie Hart is a rude, uncouth, tom-boyish special agent. In order to uncover a ring of Russian mobsters, she's assigned to enter the Miss United States pageant as the contestant from New Jersey. After A LOT of work, a new hair style, and make-up, she's able to pull the whole charade off without too much embarrassment to her fashion coach, Mr. Melling.

Dad's Preview:  This comedy, set in the world of beauty pageantry, holds together well, thanks to a good script and Bullock's endearing performance. She really flexes her acting chops being both funny and tough. And it's always good to see Shatner working again.
