Director: Michael Patrick Jann
review by Jeff Young
Wacky pseudo-documentary about beauty pageant 'American Teen
Princess'. Features over-the-top performances by Kirstie Alley and Ellen Barkin, as
pushy, fiercely driven mothers of Denise (The World Is Not Enough) Richards
and Kirsten Dunst (from Interview With The Vampire).
"If they ask you to take your top off, get the money first" is Mom's advice to
contestant daughter. From catfights to theft and murder, Alley will try anything so
her girl wins! Fitfully amusing, this does evoke the brisk tawdriness of such
events, but it's not half as cruel as it should have been.
