2000
**
Director: Donald Petrie
Cast: Sandra Bullock, Michael Caine, Benjamin Bratt, William Shatner

An ugly FBI agent (ahem, Sandra Bullock) goes undercover in the Miss America competition where she discovers her latent femininity. This is a gutless comedy that first pokes fun at America's obsession with beauty pageants but then panders to the whole concept. Followed by a sequel.
