Ellen Barkin, who plays the trailer-trash, beer-swilling mother of Amber (Kirsten Dunst), and the homicidally ambitious mother (Kirstie Alley) of spoilt rich bitch Becky (Denise Richards, The World Is Not Enough) will stop at nothing to ensure their daughters win the Mount Rose teen beauty pageant.

Underneath the fresh-faced all-American facade of Mount Rose's contest to find the best, brightest and most beautiful, lie two roads to greatness: high hopes and homicide. In this game there can only be one survivor and it's all out war.

A wickedly funny black comedy, set in small-town America, where you win anyway you can...or you die trying.
