Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous catches up with FBI Agent Gracie Hart (Sandra Bullock) shortly after she successfully disarmed a threat against the Miss United Stales Pageant while working undercover as a contestant in Miss Congeniality and became an overnight media sensation.

Things haven’t been going so well for her lately. Reeling from a broken romance and frustrated to find her newfound fame is jeopardising the undercover work she loves, Gracie reluctantly lets her boss, Agent McDonald (Ernie Hudson), talk her into serving the Bureau in the only way now possible: coifed and styled for the talk show circuit as “the face of the FBI”.

Capitalising on the greatest PR coup in agency history, the FBI presses their new poster girl into a whirl of photo ops where she re-enacts her pageant exploits to an adoring public, with the help of personal stylist Joel (Diedrich Bader) to smooth her rougher edges.

Though resistant at first, Gracie soon warms to the attention and it's not long before she's getting into her new role a little too much. Her new partner Sam Fuller (Regina King), a tough, ambitious agent who is clearly not her biggest fan, is the first to point out that the pampered Bureau star is turning into FBI Barbie.
