We all know that Bullock is an attractive woman, but for a healthy chunk of Miss Congeniality she truly makes you forget it. Having really enjoyed this film, I also should preface my thumbs up by saying that many people might not. The story is terribly predictable, and some of the jokes are fairly obvious. There's certainly nothing of the stuff of revelation in Miss Congeniality, but the performance by Bullock and winning supporting turns by Michael Caine, Benjamin Bratt and an intentionally funny William Shatner help make Miss Congeniality a great way to spend an evening and a sure rental winner. Miss Congeniality isn't the type of film that you would immediately think of as having reference-quality video, but in most ways it does.
Colors are bold and stable with natural fleshtones and no oversaturation.
The image contains solid blacks with excellent visible detail even in the darkest of scenes. Detail is absolutely fabulous with tremendous depth for a picture that really captivates, giving the image a very real sense of three-dimensionality. I did notice just the slightest bit of edge enhancement, but it was never distracting and only appeared with careful examination. There was also no noticeable compression pixel break up to mar the image. A real winner and one that is sure to please.
