Pictures The Plot: Reluctantly teaming with a new partner, FBI agent Gracie Hart (Bullock) heads to Las Vegas to help solve a kidnapping case involving her friend, the current Miss United States.

Director: Kevin Rodney Sullivan Stars: Ashton Kutcher, Bernie Mac, Zoe Saldana (Full Cast) Studio: Columbia Pictures The Plot: A sarcastic father (Mac) has plenty to say about his daughter (Saldana) wanting to marry a white boy (Kutcher).
