Headstrong Mona Hubbard is fiercely driven to capture the coveted Miss American Miss beauty award, but an unusual circumstance teams her with a soccer-playing, deep-dimpled little girl named Vanessa.

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.
