What Parents Need to Know

About Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous

Parents need to know that this movie has some strong language and a lot of action-style violence (no one hurt) and peril. There is some sexual humor, some crude jokes, and a joke about drinking. A strength of the movie is its portrayal of strong, loyal, and capable diverse characters, including minorities, women, and a gay character.

    Better then # 1

    This movie had such a clever story attached following the first movie. the only bad thing was a lot of characters left the second film but then again a lot of new ones were added! This is a must see movie. I guarantee you'll watch it over and over.

    It was a great no brainer movie

    This movie is not for the little ones, but a good summer movie that requires no thinking on your part.

    Seems to celebrate bimboness

    The first Miss Congeniality was dumb but cute, this was just dumb. Gracie the ugly duckling with no social graces suddenly becomes a swan with no social graces. She applauds looking good as a laudable goal in life. Don't waste your time or money on this. It's not a girl power movie and not worthy of our daughters.

    Must think about

    This is a pretty good movie. I really enjoyed it but i wouldn't really say that kids under the age of 13 should see. This movie does have some language and also so a character that is gay so if you don't want your child to see this kind of material that i reconmend you don't take them to see this movie.

    Too Funny!

    Really fun movie -- a no thinker and good for lots of laughs. We loved it...although my 13-year-old daughter thought the first was better. I thought the second just built on the first...sort of took right up where the other left off.

    Pretty darn funny

    To tell you the truth, I didn't want to see this because I'm a boy and it looked pretty girly. But, i thought it was funny in a couple parts. Some parts were a little to girlish for me but it was okay.( my mom loved though if that tells you anything.)
