Convinced their little girl child is beauty queen material, the childs parents and the rest of a disfunctional family embark on a road trip to a child beauty pageant. The producers think that this is a comedy. I suppose that any disfunctional family rates as a comedy to less than sensitive audience. Movie includes nursing-home reject grandpa (Alan Arkin) who is the most quirkey of the bunch, but as you would expect, a genius when it comes to important family values.
Profound question is . . . is this family dysfunctional or are we too inhibited to enjoy life. I've seen this plot before.
Problem: Somewhat predictable and includes the dispictable practice of shaping a little girl into the sexual image of a beauty queen and parading her on stage in a "contest".
