 A very funny comedy, with heart July 29, 2008
Wickie L. Bowman (Pasadena, CA USA)
This is one of those films that I view every now and then when I need a good laugh. Holly Hunter is superb as Carnelle Scott, the wannabe beauty queen. Although we laugh at the characters, Beth Henley's writing is never mean spirited to the characters. It is a virtuoso ensemble cast. There are some real gems in here, the scene where "Popeye" (Alfre Woodward) explains how her eyes started popping out, and Delmont and his former Miss Firecracker sister (Tim Robbins and Mary Steenburgen) tango through the house. The Miss Firecracker talent contest is brilliant...........this film deserves attention.
Probably one of the nicest movies of this genre July 4, 2008

And not a bad introduction to astronomy. I guess the only complaint is the whole production seems too stagey, as if the performers never completely made the transition from acting for stage to screen. While other beauty pageant send-ups that followed in the next decade, like "Drop Dead Gorgeous" and "The Positively True Adventures of the Alleged Texas Cheerleader-Murdering Mom," left me hurting and frowning, "Miss Firecracker" provided a much needed sympathetic counterbalance. I'm sorry I kissed your girlfriend.
 Holly Hunter is sooo funny!!! June 18, 2008

I Love This Movie! I always made me laugh! Holly Hunter, Tim Robbins, and Mary Steenburgen are hilarious as a family. Carnelle (Hunter)is trying to win a beauty contest for the fourth of July like her cousin Elain (Steenburgen). My favorite part is the IR romance between Tim Robbins and Alfre Woodard. It is really good!
A small movie, a sleeper -- May 15, 2008

a movie of which I'd never heard, though I considered Holly Hunter hot in "Broadcast News".
Then this was recommended to me. A small movie and a sleeper that is a must see. Steenbergen is excellent [...]. Holly is the orphan-turned-town-pump-turned-determinedly-upwardly-mobile in the big small way offered by a small town.
All are excellent, but it is Alfre Woodard who walks -- ambles? -- away with the film. Hilarious and profoundly serious at the same time. And of a lovely light romantic idealism lighter than the lightened Holly in the scene at the end when Holly finally climbs above the ground.
Sweet and lovely film. You'll love it. If you don't, then you didn't watch it.
Popcorn-suitable, for those who prefer that kind of film.
