A very enjoyable movie, I have to say. It didn’t leave me crying or rolling on the floor laughing or anything, but I love the insanity of the plot… In short, it’s kind of like this: there’s this family of 4 with a live in granddad, who takes in the mother’s brother who’s just tried to kill himself. At the dinertable they get a call that the young daughter won a spot in this interstate beauty pagant. So they all get up, get into this VW minivan and drive across the country.

Now, this sounds like a lame road movie or something. But it’s not. Every character is busy with his or her own issues, which range from a broken gay heart, cocaine use, lost dreams and wether or not beauty queens can eat icecream (yes, they can!)

The VW minivan is almost a character on it’s own, slowly falling to shreds. When finally you think there´s little more that can happen to the car, the carhorn starts beeping on it´s own. Brilliant.
