Synopsis
Gracie Hart (Sandra Bullock) is an FBI agent with a reputation for being aggressive and hard-nosed, who has long wanted to duplicate the career of her deceased mother, also an FBI agent, who died in the line of duty. Her cantankerous nature, though, has made her few friends, excepting her trusting, sensitive partner Eric Matthews (Benjamin Bratt). However, her true abilities are put to the test when she is called upon to infiltrate a Miss United States pageant after a terrorist threatens to bomb it. Gracie, who prides herself on her toughness, must now feminize her behavior to effectively participate in the pageant with the aid of Victor Melling (Michael Caine), a pompous consultant who dreams of whisking away Gracie's past self and creating "Gracie Lou Freebush" for an appreciative, all-American audience. After her arduous conversion, Gracie must play the role of beauty queen and FBI agent, and try not to blow her undercover outfit. Miss Congeniality, which was produced by star Bullock, features television stalwarts William Shatner and Candice Bergen in supporting roles. ~ Jason Clark, Rovi

Two thumbs up
January 10, 2015Not 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.

Awesome movie, but lame version
April 27, 2008The 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.

Very Funny
September 15, 2007I 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!
