    A mannerless, styleless brute, Bullock's Grace Hart is Eliza Doolittle in sweats.

    It isn't bad so much as it lacks any ambition to be more than it so obviously is.

    A barrage of dangling plot strands, inconsistent characterizations, and suspense-free shootouts.

    I thought this movie was excellent. Considering Sandra Bullock produced it (which she's never done before) I think it was very entertaining and enjoyable. I would recommend this movie to anyone and everyone!… Collapse

    It's not very humorous, but it's stupid funny and full of fabulous entertainment and pleasure from a beauty pageant. Sandra Bullock does better than expected and plays a clumsy, but fantastic role to teach us a lesson about true beauty.… Expand

    People who didn't like this movie must have a difficult time enjoying themselves. Sure it was kind of stupid, but I actually enjoyed Sandra here. Quite funny and just an easy movie to watch for fun.… Expand
