Genres: Comedy Drama
Rating:
Academy Award-winning actress Sally_Field makes her debut as a director of a theatrical feature with this gently satiric comedy. Mona Hibbard (Minnie_Driver) is a woman from a small town in Illinois who never enjoyed much of a rapport with her parents. Looking for approval and validation, Mona began entering local beauty pageants in her early teens; now in her early 20's, Mona is still grimly determined to one day walk away a winner as she finds herself in the early innings of the Miss American Miss competition, organized by Verna Chickle (Kathleen_Turner). Somewhere along the way, Mona became a single mother; determined not to let this stand in the way of a pageant victory, Mona has persuaded her best friend Ruby (Joey_Lauren_Adams) to raise her daughter Vanessa (Hallie_Kate_Eisenberg) as her own. However, Vanessa seems to have sensed that something is wrong; she feels a much greater bond with Mona than her "mother," and (like nearly everyone else), she's noticed that she looks a lot more like Mona than Ruby. Beautiful also features Kathleen_Robertson, Bridgette_Wilson, and Leslie_Stefanson. Mark Deming, Rovi
