looks really familiar

From the clothes, to the make-over, to the speech at the end of the trailer, where all you have to do is replace "pearl-white Bentley" with "world peace," this movie looks like a very poor knock-off of 'Miss Congeniality.' They didn't even attempt to use a different agency investigating into whatever the actual problem was--in both movies, it was the FBI. Hairdresser and a make-up artist that insult her while she's getting a makeover for her FBI assignment? Hmm, seems familiar. A little bit. Handcuffs in her hand on the cover while she's dressed up (and for the character, that IS dressed up)also seems vaguely reminiscent of a certain Sandra Bullock movie.
