Hope & Faith (2003–2006)
10/10
Hope and Faith is one of the funniest comedy shows ever!
11 July 2006
I am surprised to find that many people on here have stated that Hope and Faith is a poorly produced show and won't pass season 1. Well with no surprise at all it has 3 seasons currently and I am amazed at each episode.

The actors behind the characters are just all so great! Kelly and Faith work really well together and the idea of two sisters with completely different ambitions, personalities and ideas clashing is so hiarious - it's an addictive show with the spontaneous and random plots which arise.

There is not an episode when I don't roll around on the floor (not literally of course) laughing in stitches through Kelly's (Faith) ditzy blonde pure attitude and over the top acting and reactions.

Congratulations to the actors, writers, producers, everyone involved! You have such a great show running - It will be a sad, sad day when Hope and Faith gets cancelled.

Absolutely fabulous... No wait, this is Miss Congeniality! Must read ;) ...
11 January 2006
As one of Sandra Bullock's number 1 fans are you expecting a negative feedback in this film?? As much as I love Sandra, if needed I would criticise good and bad points in her films, but this is not one of them... Miss Congeniality I watched in 2000-2001 when released in the UK cinemas with my ex-girlfriend at the age of 11-12. I went in thinking that it would be a feminine chick flick which I would snore and snooze right the way through, but that was not the case..

Sandra, presented as a 'tomboy' type slob at the beginning immediately appealed to me which made me think "ok then... whats going on here?" .. FBI agents, gun shots, terrorism??? OK, I don't think this is going to be a chick flick as many people are perceived by it's name.

Sandra (Gracie) has to go undercover in the miss united states pageant to watch out for a terrorist attack after the FBI receives the 'bomb' threat. Watching Sandra change from a masculine tomboy, hard girl figure into a feminine, beautiful lady is really a liberating experience.. Although she is playing the part in the pageant, and she certainly looks the part, she is still the same 'Gracie Hart' inside. She stays beautiful on the inside whether she is wrapped in pearls and diamonds, and a flashy dress, or in her military boots, and knotted hair. Her beauty is deep...

Sandra Bullock plays both a convincing Gracie Hart, and Gracie Lou Freebush in the film. By just watching the opening of the film you will be hooked with the talented acting skills and techniques within minutes.

Michael Caine is certainly also a very funny character. He plays 'Victor' who is a beauty aide for Sandra, which is not usually his movie roles so thats worth seeing. He really pulled it off, without him it wouldn't be half as funny.. The expressions he can make! William Shatner's so called 'song' at the end is a laugh indeed, and his acting is so pure, and comedic...

Every actor in the film is comedic, funny, and can be extremely dramatic at times, it's bizarre! This film is definitely a thumbs up from me to watch, it's the first film I saw with Sandra Bullock, and ever since then I have been her number 1 fan, (perhaps you could say stalker! not literally) haha!
