CGiii Comment
Two convicts on the run pretend to be gay - masquerading as beauty pageant consultants - that took imagination!
This could have been a rather special film, especially with such a capable actor playing the closeted cop...but, in reality, it is a pool of pigswill intended for the brain-dead.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
Two escaped convicts arrive in the town of Happy, Texas, where they are mistaken for a gay couple who is to host the town's Little Miss Fresh Squeezed beauty pageant. Enjoying the celebrity and using their skill as con-men, the two adopt their persona to take on the task. Of course, as the two are heterosexual, their interest in the involved ladies intensifies. Ally Walker is a banker, who is distrustful of men and has given up on love. Illeana Douglas plays the dowdy, badly dressed teacher.
