Miss Congeniality is coming out soon. I am a big fan of that film, and I think it is Ms. Bullock's best film. But I am concerned lest this sequel go the way of what happened when Reese Witherspoon did a sequel to 
Legally Blonde. 
Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde failed because there were too many repeats of jokes which were really funny in the original film, but just tired by the time they appeared in the second film. Perhaps it is easier to come up with a great sequel to a drama or action film, as we witnessed last year with
Spider-Man 2 and 
Bourne Supremacy. Both of those were excellent sequels; the characters continued to develop and not just be a stagnant repeat of what they were in the first great movie.I'll get back to you on what
Miss Congeniality 2: Armed & Fabulous does for me.
I agree that Spiderman II was a great sequel, better than the original, in my opinion. Not many sequels are as good as the originals.
ReplyDeleteCare to recommend any sleeper movies? "Night Shift" and "Cutthroat Island" are two good sleepers.
