Sequels That Sucked Part II

Miss Congeniality 2: Armed & Fabulous

Dear Sandra,

What were you thinking making Miss Congeniality 2? If you thought that you'd score another hit with this one, you thought wrong! Is this an attempt to revive a career that's long been gone? When most of your actors didn't sign up to do the sequel, take a hint! Read the clues! Not only that your plot was so lame, your dialogues were even dreadful! Where did you get the courage to utter such terrible lines? Were you that desperate?

I don't know where your career is going to. Face the fact: you can't act! You were truly noticed in Speed. However, thanks to Keanu, you two both managed to make it on top despite the lack in talent. Yes, you went big time with While You Were Sleeping but it was mostly because of the romantic nature of the film. There was no need to exert much effort there, right? You're old now. Where would you go? You can't be doing such cutesy characters anymore. It won't look good. Remember what happened with Two Weeks Notice? Even Hugh Grant failed to give you a blockbuster. You can't also be doing dramatic movies because the audience do not support you with it even if you have the entire Ya-Ya Sisterhood as your back-up! Thrillers? Oh, we all know how disastrous Murder By Numbers went! But The Net was pretty okay, though.

Does Hope still Float(s) for you? I do hope so because your next project is Il Mare. I don't want you screwing it up because I love that film! I also hope that Keanu wouldn't be the one to drag your ass up once again. Do your own work! Be credited for your own merit even if it will last just 28 Days!

Be smart next time, Sandra. Don't rely on Practical Magic. And please, stay away from Ben Affleck if you don't not want the Forces of Nature to go against you!

Miss Congeniality 2: Armed, yes! Fabulous? No! No more Miss Congeniality 3, okay? I think you're not lucky with sequels. Another case in point: Speed 2: Cruise Control!

In Love and War,
Filmphiler.
