"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. |
