The problem with sequels is no one knows what to do with them. MISS C --II, just like LEGALLY BLONDE 2:RED, WHITE, AND BLONDE takes the interesting character established in the first movie and promptly ignores, disregards, and ridicules her. What's worse is Regina King (pictured here in a Tina Turner dress) is in both of these movies -- as the same character!!! I mean, sure she has a different name and different clothes, but somehow she's been cast twice in two different sequels as the extremist-black-woman-who-ends-up-being-wrong-and-bonding-with-a-ditzy-white-woman. It's sad. 'Cause in the case of MISS C- II it's completely unjustified. Sandra Bullock in this movie plays a helpless stupid ditz who quotes fashion designers. Regina King is WAY cooler than Miss Bullock's character. It would have been a much better movie if Miss Bullock had sustained and maintained her moral/emotional/personal development from the first movie and served as a mentor to Miss King's character in this movie. But, as that's not an accepted Hollywood formula, it just wasn't to be.
Anyway, this film is yet another betrayal of a good idea. Don't waste your time.
Thanks for the warning naudy.
