Err, the title is almost a summary itself. Based on the true story of a Texas mom who tries to hire a hitman (through her ex’s brother) to kill either or both a cheerleader and her mother. With the intended victims out of the way, Wanda’s daughter gets the chance to become a cheerleader. When the media get hold of the story, Wanda’s trial turns into a media circus.<\/p>\r\n
A Texas housewife plots hire a hit man to kill the girl who beat out her daughter for a place on the cheerleading squad in this made-for-cable satire based on a true story. Holly Hunter<\/a> stars as Wanda Holloway, a twice-married Baptist mother of two who becomes obsessed when her daughter, Shanna (Frankie Ingrassia<\/a>), gets disqualified from the election for the eighth-grade cheerleading squad because of overly manipulative campaign tactics (i.e. handing out free rulers imprinted with her name). Looking down her nose at neighbor Verna Heath (Elizabeth Ruscio<\/a>), whose daughter, Amber (Megan Berwick<\/a>), made the squad, Wanda becomes convinced that there’s a conspiracy afoot and decides to do something about it. Getting in touch with her ex-husband’s brother, Terry Harper (Beau Bridges<\/a>) — a lowlife with a liquor and drug habit and a wife (Swoosie Kurtz<\/a>) who sees imaginary creatures on the floor — Wanda all but orders him to find her an assassin on the cheap. Terry chickens out, contacts the police, and helps get the goods on his former sister-in-law before she can do any actual damage. A media circus soon engulfs the participants’ small Texas town as Wanda heads to court and tries to prove she was the victim of a setup.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Lisatud 14.09.2020, 1 609 544 002b<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Err, the title is almost a summary itself.
