Yes, this is a funny, popcorn film but it has a great message about feminism at its heart. Gracie Hart is another great example of this. Bullock has always made a point of playing strong, independent women who’s greatest asset is between their ears and not in their top. This is one of my favourite Sandra Bullock films. The Agency calls in Victor Melling (Michael Caine) – a professional paegant consultant who has the impossible job of turning the beer belching Gracie into an elegant lady. Gracie is the only agent eligible for the mission but her masculine demeanour is in no way suited for the pageant. When the FBI discover that a terrorist – known only as ‘The Citizen’ – has targeted The Miss America Beauty Pageant, they decide that an undercover agent posing as a contestant would be the best way to foil The Citizen’s plan. Okay, basic plot: Gracie Hart (Sandra Bullock) is a tomboyish FBI agent who’s demoted to desk duty after a recent screw-up during a field operation. This was a pretty big song back when I was younger and instantly reminded me of this film. A few weeks ago I was standing in the line at my local supermarket when “One in a Million” by Bosson started streaming out of the store’s speakers.
