About
In a Minnesota town, a film crew documents a teen beauty pageant where Amber Atkins and Becky Leeman compete amid fears the contest is rigged.
In 1995, the small Minnesota town of Mount Rose is preparing for its annual local qualifying pageant for the Sarah Rose Cosmetics American Teen Princess Pageant, and a film crew is in town to document the lead-up. Seventeen-year-old Amber Atkins (Kirsten Dunst) signs up, hoping for a college scholarship and with Diane Sawyer as her idol; her mother is Annette Atkins (Ellen Barkin).
Another contestant is Rebecca 'Becky' Leeman (Denise Richards), whose mother, Gladys (Kirstie Alley), chairs the organizing committee and is a former winner. Becky's father is a furniture retailer thought to be the richest man in town, and because his store has business connections with the pageant judges, many in Mount Rose fear the contest will be rigged.
