The original screenplay and two acting performances make this film a winner

Rating: 9/10 (7 January 2019)

An honest original story about a dysfunctional family on a road trip to a child beauty pageant. The characters are all well described and well written. This film has humor, warmth, charm and honesty. With the exception of two scenes, surprise encounter at gas station convenience store and motorcycle traffic cop pullover, the film works effectively and engagingly.
