Beauty Pageants and Cheerleaders

Most movie buffs already know that there are two high-profile Mars movies to be released in 2000 (Touchstone’s “Mission to Mars” and Warner Bros.’ “Red Planet”), but did you know that there are two beauty pageant movies--actress-turned-director Sally Field’s “Beautiful” and the Sandra Bullock-starring “Miss Congeniality”--and three cheerleading movies--”But I’m a Cheerleader,” “Sugar and Spice” and “Cheer Fever”?

Send In the Hairstylist

Which three movies will involve copious amounts of hair spray, teasing and coiffing? No, not the movie version of “Charlie’s Angels.” The answer is “The Big Tease,” “Blow Dry” and “An Everlasting Piece” (as in hairpiece). And, interestingly, the protagonists of all three films are men from the British Isles.
