Amazon.co.uk Review
Three prisoners on a chain gang find themselves on the loose in Happy, Texas when their prison van overturns to avoid hitting an armadillo. Two of them--Jeremy Northam and Steve Zahn--steal an RV that turns out to belong to two junior-beauty-pageant promoters on their way to organise a pageant in Happy, Texas. When Northam and Zahn find themselves stuck in Happy, their only option is to follow through with their masquerade and put on the pageant. Unfortunately, the promoters are known to be gay, which complicates matters when both men find themselves attracted to local women--Illeana Douglas and Ally Walker. The cast is uniformly entertaining, but it's William H Macy who really steals the show as the town sheriff with a secret of his own. Happy, Texas was an audience favourite at the Sundance Film Festival but didn't do as well in wide release, probably because viewers expected a non-stop farce. But though the movie is a comedy, and a very funny one, its humour springs more from nuances of character than broad wackiness. The situations are a little predictable, but the performers--especially Macy--give it zest and genuine feeling.--Bret Fetzer, Amazon.com
