I remember watching this movie when I was a child and really loving it. I actually caught it on t.v. again a few weeks ago. it was a pretty good movie, though I found it had a sad undertone.

A decent bittersweet Southern comedy. Holly Hunter--as always--is good.

Top badass moment? Delmount Williams running into the crowd during the judging at the pageant, to beat up some lowlife that was heckling and throwing stuff at his cousin. Defending your family's honour is (nearly) always badass, (especially if everyone is looking). 0 cats. 0 decapitations.

Play turned into movies seldom work well as movies, and it seems the more subtle the play - and there a lot of quirky subtleties here - the more it seems to be true. It's too bad... good work by the actors, especially Holly Hunter and Tim Robbins. Holly's talent portion of the pageant is truly memorable. Pauline Kael: "It's a farce about Southern eccentrics that's at the same time (and here's the death knell) a loving tribute to the indomitability of screwed-up, lonely dreamers."
