The small town of Happy, Texas is a quiet little place. It’s more like a big family than a town, really. For the past seven years, they’ve been shamed at the annual Little Miss Fresh Squeezed beauty pageant. This year, however, it’s their turn. They’re going to make Happy proud. To aid in their efforts, they hired Steven and David, a pair of traveling pageant professionals, who drive from town to town in their dilapidated motor home, teaching little girls to be beauty queens.
Little do the town’s residents realize, though, that instead of the ho…ho…homosexual couple they were expecting, they got a pair of escaped convicts (Jeremy Northam and Steve Zahn), who stole the motor home -– and its owners’ identities.
The cons, too, have no idea what they’ve gotten themselves into. So while they try to keep their cover, David (whose name is really Wayne Wayne Wayne, Jr.) teaches a handful of little girls to sing and dance. And Steven (actually Harry Sawyer), tries to figure out how they can rob the local bank –- all the while falling in love with the banker (Ally Walker) and attempting to escape the advances of the town’s sherrif, Chappy (William H. Macy).
Happy, Texas is a little-known film, but it’s definitely worth seeing. It’s absolutely side-splittingly hilarious. Sure, it’s a little cheesy sometimes, but what do you expect? It’s a comedy.
Kristin Dreyer Kramer has been writing in some form or another (usually when she was supposed to be doing something else) since the ripe old age of ten—when she, her cousin, and their two Cabbage Patch Dolls formed the Poo Authors’ Club. After a short career in advertising, Kristin got sick of always saying nice things about stuff that didn’t deserve it—so now she spends her days criticizing things, and she’s much happier for it.
Since creating NightsAndWeekends.com in February of 2002, Kristin has spent her life surrounded by piles and piles of books and movies—so many that her office has become a kind of entertainment obstacle course.
As if her writing and editing responsibilities for N&W.com weren’t enough to keep her out of trouble, Kristin also hosts a number of weekly radio shows: Reel Discovery, Shelf Discovery, and On the Marquee. She’s also a proud member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association (CriticsChoice.com), the Central Ohio Film Critics Association (COFCA.org), the Online Film Critics Society (OFCS.org), and the Women Film Critics Circle (WFCC.Wordpress.com).
