Beautiful
ComedyDrama
Determined to win the Miss American Miss pageant, Mona is ready to sacrifice anything and everything to guarantee herself the crown including her own daughter! She manages to persuade her best bud to raise the kid as her own (Miss AM can't be a mom), but just when this beauty-queen wannabe thinks her prize is in sight, she's surprised by a come-from-behind competitor. Love.
VIBE
This film feels like a wild, campy ride through the absurdities of beauty pageants. Expect over-the-top performances and dramatic twists, all wrapped in a darkly comedic package. It's a fun, if slightly unhinged, exploration of ambition gone too far.
