It's the annual Miss Congeniality Day—do you remember the iconic scene from the film?
-Imdb.
After 25 years, Miss Congeniality has still managed to stay relevant, its still a go to movie for many to reminisce upon the good old days.
But its not just its lighthearted comedy and well-delivered punch lines, that make it so memorable. In the 2000 film Miss Congeniality, a now-iconic moment comes when MC Stan Fields (William Shatner) asks Cheryl Frasier (Heather Burns) what her idea of a perfect date is. Her response, “I’d have to say April 25 because it’s not too hot, not too cold. All you need is a light jacket,” has since become a beloved quote, leading to the unofficial celebration of Miss Congeniality Day on April 25. Twenty-five years ago, this now-iconic line had moviegoers laughing, and today, it’s a nostalgic part of the annual "Miss Congeniality Day" meme.
The film, starring Sandra Bullock as an FBI agent undercover at the Miss United States pageant, quickly became a fan favorite, and this memorable line has stuck with audiences over the years. The movie's cast also includes Benjamin Bratt, Michael Caine, and Candice Bergen.
Even a store is playing along with the theme. Lands’ End is currently offering a sale on The Perfect Date Jacket, inspired by Cheryl’s famous description of the ideal weather. The jacket is available with a 25% discount using the code CONGENIALITY, and the sale runs through Friday, April 25, aligning perfectly with the "perfect date" celebration.
