“Robots”

Most people expected this movie to be just as entertaining as previous animated releases of last year, such as “The Incredibles.” Although the film did have some funny moments, it did not come close to matching-up to its animated competitors.

Sandra Bullock returns as FBI agent Gracie Hart, and Bullock’s comedic talent returns in full-force. This time around, Gracie travels to Las Vegas to work on a kidnapping case and catch the culprits. As expected, some very humorous obstacles get in her way.

There are a few additions to the cast, including Regina King as Gracie’s bodyguard, Sam. The chemistry between Bullock and King is surprisingly good. This film has a few more funny moments than the original “Miss Congeniality,” however, the plot is harder to follow than that of its predecessor.
