In der biederen amerikanischen Kleinstadt Mount Rose dreht sich seit Wochen alles nur noch um eins: Den bald stattfindenden „Miss Teen Princess“- Schönheitswettbewerb! Und diesmal wird der Wahn rund um Beauty- u. Jugendkult noch durch die Anwesenheit zweier Fernsehteams verstärkt. Grund genug für einige Mütter und Töchter ihre Krallen zu wetzen, um so manche Konkurrentin schon im Vorfeld auszustechen. Vor allem Gladys, stolze Ex-Gewinnerin und Jurymitglied würde alles für den Sieg von Töchterchen Becky tun. Gar nicht auszudenken, wenn die aus ärmlichen Verhältnissen stammende Amber das Rennen machen würde. Keine Frage, hier muss interveniert, manipuliert und intrigiert werden, was das Zeug hält! Starbesetzte Komödie, die den Beweis erbringt: Da werden Weiber zu Hyänen! (ATV)

Black comedy that hits everything that comes its way through delicious satire. Whether it's taking precise shots at teen movies, beauty pageants, American patriotism, or family dynamics ("I love my parents, but they only had me so my brother could get a new kidney"). If someone completely won me over, it's the retarded Hank and pedophilic judge John. The more open-minded the viewer is willing to step into Mount Rose, the more valuable the reward they might receive.

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.
