Miss Congeniality [Deluxe Edition] [DVD] [2000]

I love watching Sandra Bullock, and Miss Congeniality is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Her transformation from Gracie Hart, ugly duckling FBI agent, to Gracie Lou Freebush, beautiful swan Miss United States pageant contestant is hilarious. Michael Caine's reaction to her appearance when he first sees her is great. He is sure there is no way he can turn her into a feminine woman, especially not in time for the pageant. As a consultant for the pageant, he takes on the challenge, and what he does to her is amazing. The scenes where she is being waxed, pulled, brushed, and improved are funny. You can almost feel her pain! When she exits the airplane hangar, my favorite part occurs when she looks gorgeous then slips and almost falls on her bottom. Benjamin Bratt, as her partner Eric, has a great reaction which I enjoyed. How could he not be infatuated with her after all those changes? When she chants, "You think I'm sexy, you want to date me," I laughed and laughed. I can watch this movie over and over again (and I have) and still laugh at my favorite parts (like when the contestants drank her water for her talent competition, when she dove off the stage onto the man with the gun cigarette lighter... there are too many parts to mention.) The actors were great, the plot was funny, and I think I'll go watch it again right now!

The 5 star rating I've given this movie is well deserved. I initially avoided this film after seeing the preview for it and thinking that it looked really dumb. However, I'm such an enormous Sandra Bullock fan that I reluctantly finally watched it and was pleasantly surprised. If you haven't seen this movie, you're missing a classic. The only negative I could mention is that this so-called deluxe edition isn't all that special. In fact, the only new item on this dvd is a preview of the sequel (which was terrible and should be avoided at all costs in my opinion). So if you already have the regular version, I'd recommend skipping this version. If you don't have either version, I suppose you couldn't go wrong with either version. In any case, if you haven't seen this one, make a point to do so soon.

Not sure what they mean by "DELUXE" version other then there is a preview of the sequel, however Sandra Bullock does a great job in this chick flick.

Best Movie Ever.... Its well written and I enjoyed watching it with my friends and family. Its a must have on DVD

This movie is very funny. I think it is Sandra Bullock's best movie.
