Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

michaellopour I have a very dark sense of humor, but I watched it because it had Deniese Richards in it, and was listed as a comedy. This is as much as a comedy as Flower of Flesh and Blood. Not one part even made me smile.

abbagabbitz Basically, this is a "mockumentary" style film. Kirstin is the protagonist, living with her mother (Ellen) in a mobile home. When the documentary team approaches a neighbor asks if they're on "Cops," again. It just gets better and better. It just has layers and layers of crazy, and stupid, and hick, and silly, small-town nonsense wrapped in more and more of the same. Denise Richards is priceless as is Brittany Murphy. From start to finish, it giggle, after chuckle, after out-right guffaws. The mix of small town realities with the desire to escape the anonymity of small town life is what leads all the characters to engage in every part of the "beauty pageant." The pageant has almost nothing to do with the movie plot.

Harriet Deltubbo A small town beauty pageant turns deadly as it becomes clear that someone will go to any lengths to win. A strong cast pulls the most out of mediocre material. From an artistic standpoint, there were some plot elements and character developments I didn't think were totally needed. They do however drive the story, which seemed to be their purpose, so I can accept them. The kind of film that successfully proves that a small story can be much more meaningful than a larger one. If you can find it on DVD or Bluray for under $10, buy it, but it won't be worth much more than that to you because it's a bit outdated according to my personal tastes.

WakenPayne I am flabbergasted too this is no way my thing a teen pageant comedy is not my thing but when it melds together with this I like it. It really boggles my mind how the hell Kirsten Dunst ever became in a Crow movie it's not that she's not a good actress she is a talented actress.SPOILERS IN PLOT the basic plot is that someone running a teen pageant who her daughter is in so she rigs it and not in a legal way she starts killing the competition and Amber Atkins (Dunst) is next but in all of her attempts it doesn't work. so what do we have in the talent show that the runner kills all the competition. the daughter sings "your just to good to be true" a horrible song and sings it badly I might add and dancing with Jesus on the cross. do you believe that the mother actually left some people over? I think your answer is "yes" but eventually Kirsten performs after a costume fiasco and she still gave the winner out to the daughter but Atkins' thing that she was better than her performance but the thing is that she blew up her daughter on a swan in a parade to make Dunst the winner.You may think it's not my thing but I laughed.
