Miss Congeniality

Miss Congeniality is a 2000 comedy movie.

Director:

The cast:


The plot of Miss Congeniality centers around Sandra Bullock's character, an FBI agent who goes undercover in a beauty pageant in order to ferret out wrongdoers. Specifically, the FBI has been investigating a serial bomber who has indicated his next strike will be at the pageant. Bullock's agent (Gracie Hart) is a feminist who is not traditionally attractive; part of the in-joke is the turning of her into a drop-dead gorgeous woman, contestant Gracie Lou Freebush -- with the same tomboyish habits she had before said makeover.

This is definitely a Sandra vehicle, including several inside jokes, such as her reaction to the gun-toting Texans (she actually lives in Austin, Texas), or the hideous Tyrolean dress she wears for the talent competition (she visited Austria for significant periods of time as a child).
