Having heard less than high praise for this, my expectations are not high, but I hope it will be fun anyway.
Grace Hart (Bullock) is famous after film
1 and she’s asked to be the new promo face for the FBI. She’s just as inappropriate
as she was for the beauty pageant, and she gets a new stylist Joel (Bader).
Where’s Michael Caine when we need him?
Her new partner/bodyguard Sam Fuller
(King) can’t work with anyone else because of her violent aggression. She and
Grace thoroughly despise each other.
The story is about the kidnapping of
Cheryl (Burns) and Stan (Shatner), fellow contestant and emcee in film 1.
It is funny. I love the Dolly
Parton bit and the Tina Turner scene.
I like it as much as the first one, not the least because it’s about friendship and not romance.
3* of 5.
