This is a hilarious dark comedy which jabs fun at a small town and its hosting of a nationally sponsored beauty pageant. It also involves the point that some people may take things a little too far in order to win. I love this movie because it takes place in an area of Minnesota where I grew up and that the movie takes license with all things Minnesotan, such as the ethnic and religous groups in the area, the ethnic foods, and even the local accent. I never laughed so hard. The actors and actresses did a great job.
How this went under many people's radars at the time of its theatrical release I'll never know. It has comedic performances. (Allison Janney almost steals the scenes from the rest of her costars.) It has an original plot as well as incorrect humor that doesn't get as mean-spirited as Clint Eastwood and his political correctness hating flunkies would like. It even has twists one won't see coming from a mile away. How this went under the radar I will definitely never know but believe should be rectified.
