Only occasionally funny, nasty piece about a beauty contest in Lutheran Minnesota. Kirstie Allie is the over-the-top stage/contestant mother with the rich spoiled brat daughter. Painfully boring to watch her. Can’t she simply be barred from the big screen?. Ellen Barkin is the trailer-trash mom with the sweet kid, Amber. Competitor/contestants and boys uninterested in the poor little rich girl start dying. Some funny, gross stuff, but the plot is lame and most of it just isn’t funny. More than a few problems with the acting and writing. It could only work if it was so broad as to be wacky, but the writing can’t impel the film to that level
