A cute little ditty, but silly, silly, silly! This picture misses so many opportunities to rise above its silly self. There should have been much more interaction between the little contest girls and our stars, but alas, another missed opportunity. If anything makes this worth watching, it is William Macy as the sheriff in need of some love and meaning in his life. His performance is very touching. And one other good point - the screen writers didn't revert to a string of profanity each time they couldn't figure out what the characters should say, as do many movies today. Enjoy this one as a little light-hearted fluff.... For real comedy involving a tiny Texas town, catch a performance of "Tuna, Texas" and/or "Tuna Christmas" the next time your little theatre group puts it on...
