    • Trivia
      Cheryl's (Miss Rhode Island's) answer to the question, "What is your idea of a perfect date?", was actually used as an answer in a real-life beauty pageant.
    • Goofs
      When Gracie enters the dressing room in her swimsuit she has a towel wrapped around her, covering the pin, but the men are able to see the dressing room on their monitor.
    • Quotes

      Stan Fields: Miss Rhode Island, please describe your idea of a perfect date.

      Cheryl "Rhode Island": That's a tough one. I'd have to say April 25th. Because it's not too hot, not too cold, all you need is a light jacket.

    Cute, cute stuff.
    "Miss Congeniality" is a fun little comedy with Bullock at the center playing an FBI agent who has to go undercover as a beauty pageant contestant. Bullock is finally in her element in this flick which sports a lively screeplay, a clever script with lots of "call backs", and a good supporting cast. A must see for Bullock fans and a fun watch for most others.
