In a small Minnesota town, the annual beauty pageant is being covered by a TV crew. Former winner Gladys Leeman wants to make sure her daughter follows in her footsteps. Explosions, falling lights, and trailer fires prove that. As the Leemans are the richest family in town the police are pretty relaxed about it all. Despite everything, main rival (but nice) Amber Atkins won't be stopped. There could well be more death and disappointment to come. Written by

During the opening number of the pageant, Michelle Johnson (Laurie Sinclair) is wearing a "Hollywood" hat; near the end, she can be seen standing behind Amber Adkins (Kirsten Dunst) with no hat at all. See more »
Quotes
Iris Clark:
Amber, I'm sorry, I really am, but you know the rules. All talent costumes have to be OK'd by Gladys before the pageant.
Amber Atkins:
But doesn't someone taking your costume so you can't complete overrule that rule?
Iris Clark:
Amber, I'm sorry, I don't make up the rules.
Amber Atkins:
Oh! This... This is bullshit!
Iris Clark:
Amber Atkins, that is not American Teen Princess language!
Amber Atkins:
Good, cos this isn't an American Teen Princess Pageant! This is... This is... This is Nazi Germany!

(referencing Hank's request to be freed from the car door) It is the policy of the documentary crew to remain true observers and not interfere with its subjects. See more »
Ellen Barkin is the trailer trash mother of Amber (Kirsten Dunst), Kirstie Alley is the homicidally ambitious mother of Becky (Denise Richards) a spoilt rich bitch. They will stop at nothing to make sure their daughters win the Mount Rose beauty pageant, and i mean nothing.
The whole movie is made in incredibly bad taste and for that reason alone, a lot of people will hate it; but i found it was very refreshing to see a black comedy of this quality for a change. It's wonderfully scripted and directed, and the cast is simply perfect; everyone in it appears to be relishing the humour in the movie and it shows in their performances.
If you like this kind of humour, you will love this, if you don't warm to black comedy then it's best left alone.
8/10 Personally i think its great.
