Frankly, I wasn't expecting much, but this is a worthy companion to "Waiting for Guffman," and just as surprisingly, maybe even a little funnier. The joy of this movie isn't in the "who wins?" aspect, but in the side "business" dealing with the judges and the other contestants.
Any movie that starts with the line "No, cow manure can't hurt you" is aces in my book. Besides, the writer, Lona Williams, writes for the Drew Carey Show and was herself a Minnesota beauty queen.
Look for some very funny scenes with Nora Dunn, Mo Gaffney, Brittany Murphy, and Allison Janney. And Kirstie Alley does her damnedest with a pretty thin character.
