Comme chaque année, les plus jolies filles de Mount Rose, une petite ville du Minnesota, s'apprêtent à concourir pour le titre très convoité de Miss Junior. L'élection est orchestrée par Gladys Leeman, une ex-Miss dont la fille Becky, ambitieuse et gâtée est prête à tout pour coiffer la couronne. En coulisse, une équipe de télévision suit l'événement... Deux routes s'offrent aux candidates : celle de l'espoir... et celle du meurtre. Il n'y aura qu'une seule gagnante ! (Metropolitan FilmExport)

One of those films that probably won't sit well with everyone. As I don't like religion of any kind, American hypocrisy, or beauty pageants, I greatly enjoyed a film that joyfully satirizes all of these things. The film offered me a good dose of black humor, and even though the humor sometimes went beyond the bounds of good taste, it worked for me as a whole. All those famous faces (although in a much younger version) were certainly a plus. The performance of last year's winner Mary Jo has been indelibly etched in my memory, the second place was taken by the dance with Jesus. Lesson learned: Don't eat anything that carries around its own house.

A black comedy that hits the mark in everything that comes its way through delicious satire. Whether it's taking killer shots at teen movies, beauty pageants, American patriotism, or family dynamics ("I love my parents... And you know that they only had me 'cause my brother needed that kidney"). If anyone won me over completely, it was the retarded Hank and the pedophile judge John. The more open-minded the viewer is willing to be as they step into Mount Rose, the more valuable the reward they might receive.
