About this product

Product Information

Michael Ritchie's SMILE is a satirical, behind-the-scenes look at a California teenage beauty pageant, which also exposes American middle-class mores. The competitors (who seem to favor political maneuvering and backstabbing over talent and poise) provide only part of the story, since the members of the pageant staff are just as interesting--and dysfunctional. These include jury president Big Bob Freelander (Bruce Dern), a straight-laced car salesman; Brenda DiCarlo (Barbara Feldon), the pageant's main organizer; her alcoholic husband Andy (Nicholas Pryor); and even Big Bob's son, Little Bob, who is secretly taking photos of the nubile teenagers with the hopes of selling them to horny classmates. As the week leading up to the unveiling of the new Miss California sparks even more arguments, accidents, and confusion among Santa Rosa's residents, they begin to reveal even greater signs of lunacy. While all of this is going on, the contestants are trying miserably not to buckle under the pressure--or drop their twirling batons. Ritchie's film, a lighthearted critique of American suburbia, pokes fun at the majority of its components, including sexual conservatism, domestic dysfunction, and male bonding (in a hilarious "initiation" scene). SMILE also features a standout performance from Dern in the film's central role.

Received this movie promptly in very good condition as advertised. Shipped in thin plastic envelope but a piece of bubble protected the disc inside the case, and arrived undamaged. Plays perfectly and a great addition to my collection. Positive buying experience. Am a repeat customer and highly recommend this seller.

  • DATED FILM BUT FUN TO WATCH

    It was interesting to compare the beauty pagents of the past with those of the present. The film is dated. Diversity does not enter into the beauty contest depicted in the film. Nice to sea Melanie Griffith begin her career in getting undressed in films.

  • Hidden Gem of a Movie

    Long before the epic Little Miss Sunshine, there was Smile, the story of the dark and humorous underbelly of beauty/talent pageants. Well acted and fast paced, this is one that should be on your list of under-appreciated movies.

  • Bruce Dern's a hoot and so is this film.

    I saw this film years ago and had forgotten how much I'd laughed at the image of small-town America you see in little Santa Rosa, California (it's not so little anymore). Anyway, it's funny and exposes much of what makes the entire beauty pageant industry so hokey. I hate to say it, but I've known a lot of girls who buy into the beauty pageant thing and they've all got the same dreams. Unfortunately as this film shows, they don't always come true.

  • Please see this contemporary tragedy.

    This musical drama concerns racism, exploitation and the growth of a young pornographer. It also portrays high integrity in one of the pageant contestants. Please view it.

  • It was a good and funny movie.

    It was a parody of beauty contest which is why it's funny and entertaining.
