Let
me start out by saying that this is a great date movie, which
is exactly how this film should be used. If you're getting together
with a bunch of the guys and suggest going to this movie, they're
gonna think you've lost your mind.
Sandra
Bullock plays tough-girl FBI agent Gracie Hart who really is "one
of the guys". This is one of the harder parts to let yourself
believe in the movie. Sure... they need an agent who could look
the part of a beauty contestant and they can't think of a single
agent who is available and could pull it off. All this while Hart
is standing right next to them. Uh-huh. Anyway, they need her to
go undercover as a pageant contestant in order to find a terrorist
who has threatened to pull off some evil deed during the live telecast.
What
follows isn't hard to guess. Hart undergoes a rather amusing makeover
at the hands of a pageant consultant (Michael Caine), gets in the
pageant, and starts to look for clues. I won't say any more about
the plot, but I bet you could finish the storyline for me without
any help at all.
So
it's not an award winning movie, that much is certain. Also, its
not a "guy" movie in that you shouldn't be seeing this
one alone. But if you do have a date you can round up for a evening
at the movies, put this one high on your list to see. Its funny,
non-offensive, slightly romantic and easy to follow. What more could
you ask from a date-flick?

Guns
do exist, but that's about it.
Blood & Gore
Romantic
comedy and blood, hardly likely.
Car Chases
Negatory.

Well,
Sandra looks fine, but we don't get to see much of her.

Much
funnier than I expected. |
