Miss Congeniality Full Movie Hd Download-----------------------------------------DOWNLOAD: http://urllio.com/r2ira -----------------------------------------An F.B.I. Agent must go undercover in the Miss United States beauty pageant to prevent a group from bombing the event.Undercover F.B.I. Agent Gracie Hart shows no signs of having any femininity in her demeanor or appearance. Generally a bright and capable Agent, she is in trouble at work when she makes an error in judgment in a case which results in a near disaster. As such, one of her by-the-books colleagues, Eric Matthews, who has never shown any inclination of thinking outside the box, is assigned to lead the high profile case of a terrorist coined The Citizen instead of her, while she is facing possible disciplinary action. Gracie pieces together the evidence to determine that The Citizen's next target will be the Miss United States beauty pageant. The pageant represents everything that Gracie abhors. Despite Gracie's mannish demeanor, Eric, with no other undercover female Agent remotely fitting the demographic, assigns her to go undercover as a pageant contestant to see if she can flush out The Citizen, who is perhaps one of the other contestants. Although the pageant administration, led by former winner Cathy Morningside and long time host Stan Fields, provide the F.B.I. with access to the pageant, Cathy in particular is less than thrilled to have a non-credible Gracie posing as a contestant, which she feels will ruin the pageant. The F.B.I. enlist the assistance of former pageant contestant coach Victor Melling, who is facing his own disgrace associated with the pageant, to do the nearly impossible task of transforming Gracie, not only into a woman, but a credible beauty pageant contestant. As Gracie proceeds in the transformation, she gets to know the other contestants, not only as potential criminals, but also as real people. She also discovers that another sinister element is present at the pageant. She will do whatever it takes to quash that element and protect her new friends, namely the other innocent contestants. But now displaying some femininity, Gracie begins to have more womanly feelings, and in turn, attracts the attention of men, one in particular about whom she is happy.A very funny film, with a first rate cast, MISS CONGENIALITY deals with examining the value of an American institution. When I was growing up one of the yearly television events I always recalled was the "Miss America" pageant (as well as the other beauty pageant for "Miss Universe"). Watching Bert Parks' singing the "Miss America" song was on the same level as watching the Thanksgiving Day parade or the Superbowl. In fact, when Parks was fired from "Miss America" in the 1980s, the pageant lost many viewers out of sympathy with Bert.
But that dropping of Parks was an example of what the producers of the show faced in the 1980s. There had been dwindling interest and ratings for several years. Many felt the show was old fashioned because of the idiotic talent sections and the stupid questions (Question:"What do you wish for?"; Usual answer: "World peace!"). Others, especially feminists, were put off by the idea that the contests were demeaning "meat markets" displaying women for sex purposes only - and not really emphasizing women's brains. The pageants are still around, but they lack the exposure they had back in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. Even recent scandals have made one question the entire idea more (the best known Miss America of the last twenty years was Vanessa Williams, who lost the title for an infraction of the rules, and subsequently had a successful - and still flourishing - acting career: something that rarely happens to the regular winners).
Here, there has been a bombing (and killing) at the "Miss United States" beauty pageant. As a result an FBI team is assigned to figure out who did this. The team happens to find evidence that suggests a "Unibomber" type did, but they don't know for certain. One of the recent recruits, Sandra Bullock, is to enter the contest as "Miss New Jersey". This is done with the knowledge of the contest's chairperson and spokeswoman (and former "Miss United States") Candace Bergen. Bergen is not happy about the choice: Bullock is all professional FBI agent, with little in the way of a sense of fun, and absolutely no sense of style or even rudimentary knowledge of make-up. The FBI team, headed by Benjamin Bratt, assigns a former member of the "Miss United States" pageant (Michael Caine) to "prettify" and prepare Bullock for her assignment. It almost leads to mutual murder. Caine is a man of style and knows what wins contest audiences. Nothing he sees about Bullock remotely covers this. Bullock finds Caine insulting (he admits to a stylish elitism), and she finds the new regimen impossible. Not only must she learn some talent (they finally pick up on her playing the musical glasses, like Ben Franklin's armonica), but she has to walk with poise, be graceful, and keep her weight under control (some of the best jokes deal with her constant attempts at stealing donuts when she is supposed to be eating carrots and vegetables).
She is also trying to see the value of the contest. Bullock believes in the modern age of feminism, and works hard at being a good agent. She sees the contest as a sexist, out-of-date affair. She also notes it brings out the worst in the other contestants, most of whom are basically good types but are now taking cheap shots at each other in efforts to win the contest. She is particularly protective about "Miss Rhode Island" (Heather Burns), who seems to have self-confidence problems and hopes to improve herself by winning the contest.
Bullock is also finding her current job annoying in a non-professional manner: she and Bratt are both attracted to each other, but she can't find any time to make time for him (nor he for her). If they get together it is for the business of finding the bomber threatening the contest, or for Bratt taking a sullen Bullock for training sessions with a snooty Caine. This is hardly a good way to develop a love affair.
Finally there is the problem of Candace Bergen - a long time supporter of the contest, she sees it as actually helping the winners by giving them scholarships that can assist them in furthering careers in all professions (and thus raising the image of women). And she resents the all-to-easy dismissal Bullock keeps bringing up when she shows what she thinks of the contest.
The film also has it's version of Parks, in it's traditional host played by William Shatner. Certainly not the same as his "Captain Kirk" or even (currently) "Denny Crane", Shatner's "Stan Fields" has a popular following among the older generation, who like his pleasant inane jokes (you can tell after awhile what he's going to say as a joke), and his singing the theme song. His performance is like additional icing on the cake. And a well made cake it is.Super comedy with Sandra looking adorable, as usual. Babes abound and many laughs were had as Sandy attempts to go from tomboy to lady with the help of a hilariously sarcastic Michael Caine. Good interplay between characters and well played out all the way to the end. The only down side was the unneeded hurrah for lesbianism; enough already, it is becoming boring.It all coalesces in a TV-level pleasantness, which isn't quite enough to fill a big screen.Tomboyish FBI agent Gracie Hart (Sandra Bullock) is forced to go undercover in the Miss United States beauty pageant to prevent a terrorist known only as "The Citizen" from bombing the event. Miss Congeniality is based on a screenplay written by Marc Lawrence, Katie Ford, and Caryn Lucas. It was followed by Miss Congeniality 2: Armed & Fabulous (2005) (2005). "Lara's Theme" from Doctor Zhivago (1965) (1965). The lyrics begin "Somewhere my love there will songs to sing..." When Gracie hears that Frank (Steve Monroe) has taken the crown to get polished, it dawns on her that he is planting the bomb in it. As Stan (William Shatner) begins to read off the names of the runners-up, Gracie tries to alert Eric (Benjamin Bratt) but she can't be understood amidst the clamor and excitement on stage. Fourth runnerup California, third runnerup Nebraska, second runnerup Texas. Gracie is named first runnerup, leaving the crown to Rhode Island. When the crown is placed on Cheryl's (Heather Burns) head, Gracie attempts to rip it off, making everyone think that she is a sore loser trying to steal the crown. In the ruckus that follows, Eric knocks out Frank who drops the detonator onstage, Kathy (Candice Bergen) picks it up and detonates the bomb just as Gracie gets the crown away from Cheryl and tosses it in the air, blowing up the Statue of Liberty instead. Kathy and Frank are arrested, and Eric and Gracie agree to go out on a date when they get back to New York and Gracie "gets all ugly again." Just as Eric and Gracie are about to leave in a taxi, Victor Melling (Michael Caine) comes running out of the hotel, yelling about an incendiary device being spotted in the farewell breakfast room. Gracie runs back inside, only to find that she has been honored by being voted Miss Congeniality. a5c7b9f00b https://www.causes.com/posts/4964654 http://www.nookl.com/article/335743/tamil-movie-the-covenant-free-download http://dayviews.com/subsverspew/526824925/ https://www.causes.com/posts/4964638 http://dayviews.com/farmlirec/526824921/ http://www.ggf.lt/en/news/view/id/284406 http://dayviews.com/accelly/526824920/ https://www.causes.com/posts/4964651 http://senridensriff.blogviajes.com/1537282396/ https://www.causes.com/posts/4964656
