Get Pageant Questions Written By A Miss Universe Judge








Headstrong Mona Hubbard (Minnie Driver) is a fiercely driven woman with only one goal: to capture the coveted “Miss American Miss” beauty award. Unloved as a child, Mona sees the pageant as a means of gaining the attention and adoration she’s long felt missing from her life. She is aided in her quest by the one person who can stomach her domineering ways, childhood friend and consummate nurturer Ruby (Joey Lauren Adams). Mona also finds an unexpected supporter in her own, long-neglected daughter, Vanessa (Hallie Kate Eisenberg), who, as the pageant looms closer, finally makes Mona realize where love and acceptance can truly be found. © 2000 Destination Films Distribution Company, Inc. and Flashpoint (UK) Ltd.

  1. my absolute favorite movie as a kid. when i was a kid i thought it was a magical movie about dreams. now as an adult it's a movie about growing up and creating your own family. there was a lot more psychology in this movie than i originally thought too

  2. The storyline of Ruby as nurse who got arrested for med error was unrealistic. She would not have likely gotten arrested. But she quite possibly could've lost her license for not following proper med pass protocol.

  3. O.my goodness great movie..I really appreciate her courage to not have an abortion,, she rocks.. now this day's women choose more their careers and this fake world than their own children,,.. We as women should always be proud of our Children they are an inheritance of our Father in heaven.. is a gift 🎁so precious gift we should,, keep our crown with honor,, Mother's ,, Lovely movie..

  4. A beautiful movie about the amazing tenacity to follow a dream then realize "I could be a role model to many little girls or a role model to one. I loved this movie so much. I have to say the song that Minnie driver sang I don't know if it was her voice but I was mesmerized by the gorgeous vocal.

  5. That kids gonna have alot of issues being manipulated by her mother(the one that raised her) and then not being able to trust/love her new mother… that's been shown to be super selfish as a person.. I mean she gave her kid to her friend to raise. Great movie!!(sarcasm)

  6. Cute movie… not realistic. If the mom was taken the kid would've been put into protective custody. Even if she's the real mom. Plot hole: did she sign away her rights.

  7. Most of the woman enter the contest to win. They don't care about the prizes. Most come from rich families. They spend more money getting ready to win. The woman who participated. Only care about getting the crown. It under rates woman. Like you are a piece of meat. Woman have come a long way. I guess that why you don't see them on tv anymore

  8. I didn't know that Sally Fields was a director. She has been some great movies. My favorite movie is Places in the heart. She was so strong after her husband is accidently killed. Trying to hold onto her children.

  9. The story is about a selfish, single-minded woman who wouldn't let go of her dream of being a national pageant participant. I'm sorry, the ending is corny.
