Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: After being confronted by McDonald about being the "new face of the FBI," Grace is handed her large box of fan mail. As she turns around to exit, she is seen turning to her left, but it is apparent that she turned to her right just before she bumps the corner of the wall dropping some of her mail.

Not what I expected

I saw this at a special screening and was very pleasantly surprised. I'm not usually a huge fan of sequels, but this for what it is, is incredibly entertaining on its own merit. I love Sandra, so that may be one of the reasons I liked as much as I did, but that being said, the rest of the cast makes this without a doubt one, of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. This will definitely get a vote of must see from me to all. The movie goes quickly at the beginning, and then it slows - but it keeps you interested. Sandra and Regina are so good together. Wardrobe is GREAT! Sandra dressed as the old woman is hilarious and there are many other great costumes as well. The slow parts only help to make this a real movie. I will make this a definite repeat movie.
