Pregnant women don't compete in Miss. America because the judges encourage abortion.
And while the contestant in this dramedy gave birth, she won't be rearing it.
When beauty pageant contestant Mona (Minnie Driver), Miss Illinois, gives birth she asks her friend Ruby (Joey Lauren Adams) to raise the child as hers so that she can continue competing in Miss. America competitions. But when Ruby is arrested, Mona must become a guardian to her estranged daughter (Hallie Eisenberg) who is unaware of their secret relationship. Haunted by her own abusive mother, Mona struggles to accept her parental responsibility.
While Mona's actions were unsettling in 2000, today they'd be typical of any online parent. Bearing this in mind, Sally Field's directorial debut may not be as implausible 18-years on. However, that still doesn't make this a worthy comedy.
Besides, everyone would know a pageant contestant was pregnant when the postpartum set in. Yellow Light
