I happened to catch it as I was clicking through the TV channels. I think it was the scene where Gladys is standing in the parking lot, relating her past pageant themes. First of all, I recognized Kirstie Alley and was curious to see what she was talking about, and then her hilarious pro-American themes just got me hooked. Great movie - I went out and bought the videotape as soon as I could!
Flat, drab passion meanders across the screen! -

A friend of a friend was crazy about the movie when it first came out on video and I just ignored it as some crappy teen comedy. But she made me and my friend sit down and watch it and it was actually pretty enjoyable. I bought the video first chance I got and sent off for the DVD about a year ago later. The movie still holds up.
If you pirate media, you don't get to have an opinion on it. -

Scenes of it were filmed here in my town (Hopkins MN) back when the working title was "dairy queens". I remember parts of Main St being closed for a day or two while filming was taking place
I used to care, but I take a pill for that now. -

I remember seeing the trailer in the theatre when we went to see Cruel Intentions and thinking it looked awesome. I don't think I went to see it in theatre after that though - I think I caught it on HBO and recorded it on vhs and watched it over and over again. Snagged the dvd when it was on Amazon for 5 or 10 bucks. One of my most quoted movies ever.

It was about 12 or so years ago when I was 12 or 13 and I saw it on the TV guide and thought it sounded interesting so I asked my mother to tape it off tv for me that night as I would be over a friends. The following evening I watched it in my room and loved it!

I'd heard of it many times before but I decided to watch it today when I randomly stumbled across it on YouTube (I had watched Heathers beforehand). It was quite silly but it was still watchable.
I'm hoping to find a trendy yet thought-provoking quote. Until then, this will be my signature. -

I rented it soon after it came out and thought it was hysterical. For a period of time it was on extended basic cable a lot and I rewatched it many times. I still think it's hilarious. I made my husband watch it a few years back and he liked it too.

I had just sat through this horrible film called "Her" and I was looking at its Wikipedia page to try to understand why it had gotten good reviews. Apparently the films share an actress. It was described as having developed a cult following so I decided to give it a shot.

It played at a film festival in San Francisco. I liked the premise and the cast so I went to see it. It instantly became one of my favorite comedies. Denise Richard's (Becky's) talent performance during the pageant is so hilariously inappropriate its inspired.
