silly material made worthwhile, 14 March 2002
Author: Special-K88

Good-natured and funny comedy has Bullock perfectly cast as an uptight, tomboyish federal agent who, for the first time in her entire life, embraces her feminine ways after she's assigned to go undercover at a beauty pageant to try and apprehend an elusive criminal. She's never even worn a dress, much less makeup and accessories and the results are hilarious as she tries to do her job and be a credible contestant as well. Slightly predictable at times, but kept afloat by a meaningful story, good lines, and big time laughs. Bullock has never been more appealing, and she's surrounded here by a first-rate supporting cast. ***
