Sandra Bullock‘s action comedy that made $212 million at the box office has ascended Netflix’s Top 10 chart in the United States 25 years after its release. The actress – whose diverse filmography spans action, comedy, and drama – was one of Hollywood’s biggest and highest-paid stars from the 1990s to the 2010s. Her big breakthrough came in the 1994 action thriller Speed alongside Keanu Reeves. This led to lead roles in the romantic comedy While You Were Sleeping and the dramas A Time to Kill and Hope Floats.

In the following years, Bullock cemented her status as a reliable comedic presence with the romantic comedies Two Weeks Notice and The Proposal. However, it wasn’t until her performance in 2004’s Crash – which won three Academy Awards, including Best Picture – that Bullock became a more respected dramatic actress. From there, she starred in The Blind Side and won an Academy Award for Best Actress. She received a second nomination for Gravity which, at over $723 million, is also her highest-grossing movie.

Our Take On Miss Congeniality’s Netflix Success

Sandra Bullock’s Comedic Charm Is Truly Timeless

Sandra Bullock shows off her unparalleled comedic presence and charm in the action comedy, so it’s no wonder why Miss Congeniality is trending on Netflix. However, even she still struggles to completely save the movie weighed down by a weak script, which makes it feel like a generic and inspired sitcom, resulting in mixed reviews from critics. Still, the movie was a big box office hit, grossing over $212 million, and it remains a hit today on Netflix, proving that Sandra Bullock‘s comedic charm in Miss Congeniality is truly timeless.
