Storyline
Undercover FBI agent Gracie Hart shows no signs of having any femininity in her demeanor or appearance. Generally a bright and capable agent, she is in trouble at work when she makes an error in judgment in a case which results in a near disaster. As such, one of her by-the-books colleagues, Eric Matthews, who has never shown any inclination of thinking outside the box, is assigned to lead the high profile case of a terrorist coined The Citizen instead of her, while she is facing possible disciplinary action. Gracie pieces together the evidence to determine that The Citizen's next target will be the Miss United States beauty pageant. The pageant represents everything that Gracie abhors. Despite Gracie's mannish demeanor, Eric, with no other undercover female agent remotely fitting the demographic, assigns her to go undercover as a pageant contestant to see if she can flush out The Citizen...

Trivia
The scene with Gracie coming home after the mission in the restaurant was only scripted as "Gracie comes home and starts boxing". The rest (tripping, kicking the bed, microwave oven) was ad-libbed by Sandra Bullock. See more »Goofs
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When the Russian appears to be choking, Gracie says twice "he's turning purple", implying that he is not able to breathe. However, throughout the scene he makes sounds, which could not happen if he was not getting air. (The Heimlich maneuver should only be used if the victim can't make any sound at all.) In any case, the airway of an adult man is too large to be obstructed by a peanut. Possibly the filmmakers intended the Russian to be faking it, and Gracie to be mistaken about everything, not just her course of action but also the reason for it. See more »Quotes
