The Paramount Theatre

Doors: 6pm

2000, 109min/color, DCP
Directed by: Donald Petrie
Cast: Sandra Bullock, Michael Caine, Benjamin Bratt, Candice Bergen, and William Shatner

Playing an FBI agent who goes undercover as a beauty contestant to capture a terrorist, Sandra Bullock added yet another box office hit and audience favorite to the remarkable run she had in the 90s. Throw in a stacked supporting cast and the Texas pride aspect of the film being shot in Austin and San Antonio, and you’ve got a movie that deserves the biggest 25th birthday salute we can muster.

Films shot in Texas like Miss Congeniality pump millions of dollars into local economies and bring jobs to talented crew and creatives. Miss Congeniality shows us the magic that can happen when the “Tex-factor” collides with big ticket, crowd-pleasing filmmaking.
