The movie is only rivaled by the running commentary on DVD

The standard parallel themes make up this movie. First, an FBI agent must go undercover in the Miss United States beauty pageant to prevent a mad bomber from bombing the event. The second theme is the "ugly duckling" who realizes her potential.
You have seen this type of movie before and can anticipate most of the twists and turns, even the outcome. What you can not anticipate is the fun you have on the way. All the actors are well chosen for their parts. I am not going to describe them to you, as I do not want you to be anticipating them. It is best not to look at the actor list until they show up on the screen (It's a shocker.)
After watching the movie, the DVD had all the elements that DVDs promise to have. There are bios on the actors. Most of all is a running commentary, which rivals the movie for top billing. I thought Sandra was cute in her clumsy stage. Her commentary showed the differences they made cosmetically and psychologically to advance her through the movie. There is a funny disquisition on using graphics to mask a certain object on Sandra.
This may be one of Sandra's best. It is sure worth watching
