Miss Congeniality 

          FBI agent is really all Gracie Hart ever wanted to be, and then one day that dream job of hers took her to an unimaginable place full of hairspray, world peace, and eating disorders. That doesn't sound like the life of any ordinary FBI agent. Hart was demoted to a desk job after she didn't follow orders on a mission, and one of her partners gets shot, but if that wasn't enough she was selected to go undercover on a mission at the Miss America Pageant. Now as you may know by the images in your head, most FBI agents aren't that concerned about their "girly" traits. Hart is forced through an agonizing day full of waxing, plucking, lasers, hair gurus, and an unbearable lesson on table manners and walking correctly. 

        Once at the pageant Hart is faced with the hard task of acting like a prim and proper pageant queen, while trying to find the suspect for the threat of a bombing. Now I commend her, because after three days at that pageant I think that the only threat to those girls would be me. I would go insane. One of my favorite quotes in the movie would have to be when she is imitating one of the girls and she says, "look she's going to cry again" and then makes fun of her some more and goes, "if I only had a brain". that part gets me every time. After days of accusing innocent men of crimes, jumping off of stages, and breaking almost all the rules of pageants, Hart is able to find the actual mastermind behind this horrible threat. It turned out to be the pageant coordinators son, Stan. Hart ended up saving her best friend Cheryl's life and became a pageant hero. 

       She is my favorite character because she is always making me laugh by being different than normal girls, being a little inappropriate, and always there when you need her. I know that we would be good friends if we were to ever meet in real life.

  1. I love this movie! I've watched it a couple of times, and it just makes me laugh. I like how you explained the movie to make people who haven't watched this movie, understand who she is, why she's doing what she's doing, and how she's doing it. You talked about how you'd get along in the end, I like that because you didn't just talk about her, you told people a little bit about you. It also shows you like to laugh with the funny comments she made and how you enjoyed them. If I wouldn't of watched this movie, this would make me want to watch it. Although I have seen it, I know want to go home and get on Netflix and watch it again. (:

  2. The movie you chose couldn't be better! When I look at you,you remind me of her because your not like everyone else, your outgoing and very different then other people!(In a good way!)I like how everything you said related back to you in a way so I liked hearing about that! You had great detail as well, I hope that you and her do meet in the future.

  3. I really appreciated your topic to start off! But apart from that, I thought it was cool that you explained the whole meaning of the story for anyone who hasn't heard of the movie. On top of that just the way your blog was set up was very good. It was easy to follow and read. I didn't find it wordy or anything, I think it was done wonderfully! Good job!

  4. I enjoy you addition of a picture. Your description of her and the story line was great! The parts where you made personal relations to the movie were very good.

  5. Gracie does have a different personality. What is it exactly about her that you enjoy? I find it fascinating that she is "one of the guys." Her name is a huge misnomer, unless we are talking about how she can take out her partner.

  6. I've never seen this movie, but your plot description makes it sound exciting. From a guys perspective, I don't know if I'd understand many of the jokes haha. Good attention grabber at the beginning too.

  7. I like at the beginning when you contrast what she wants to do in her life (be a hard working FBI agent) and how it kind of flips upside down when she ends up on a case that requires her to be more of a girly girl.

  8. I love this movie too, so it was really fun for me to read this! You did a really good job decribing the movie, even if I hadn't had seen it I would have known what you are talking about. One of my favorite things about your writing is how you quoted her. I also liked how you added a picture to your blog. It addded something extra and made it pleasing to the eye!
