“Miss Congeniality” -- the $207 million worldwide box-office hit starring Sandra Bullock, debuts March 15 in a Deluxe Edition DVD from Warner Home Video (WHV). This charming comedy will be available for $24.98 SRP.

A leading actress whose unique style of physical comedy has been compared to that of comedy legend Lucille Ball, Sandra Bullock has consistently scored with critics and audiences alike for her performances in such films as “Speed,” “While You Were Sleeping” and “Two Weeks Notice.” Bullock earned her second Golden Globe(R) nomination for her role in “Miss Congeniality.”

The film features an all-star cast including Academy Award(R) winner Michael Caine (“The Cider House Rules”), Benjamin Bratt (“Catwoman”), William Shatner (“Star Trek”) and Candice Bergen (“Sweet Home Alabama”, “Murphy Brown”).

Synopsis

When a terrorist threatens to bomb the Miss United States pageant, the FBI rushes to find a female agent to go undercover as a contestant. Unfortunately, Gracie Hart (Bullock) is the only agent who can “look the part,” despite her complete lack of refinement and femininity. To assist Gracie with the emergency assignment, the bureau enlists the help of Victor Melling (Caine), an obsessive and pompous pageant consultant, to transform Gracie from “Dirty Harriet” into a glamorous beauty queen. Transformation complete, Gracie must get comfortable with the other perfectly coifed contestants, infiltrate the pageant and thwart the terrorists.
