Trivia

Screenwriter Lona Williams was herself a contestant in local beauty pageants. She appears in the film as the pageant's third, non-speaking judge, Jean.

Allison Janney says she is recognized by fans for this movie more than anything else in her career.

Film debut of Amy Adams, Jacy King & Amanda Detmer.

The mall parking lot Gladys pulls into to pick up the dresses is Eden Prairie Center in Eden Prairie (not the Mall of America), the same mall that was used in Mallrats (1995)

The movie makes multiple references to traditional Minnesota food: The Mount Rose High cafeteria serves lutefisk for lunch, Jell-O salad is served at Tammy's funeral, and several scenes include people eating and offering "bars," considered an essential dessert for Minnesota potlucks.

Popular Dialogues

"Amber Atkins: My mom never hid the fact that my dad chose his career over us. What was it she always said? Loretta: Once a carnie, always a carnie. Amber Atkins: Mom still cries every time she sees a tilt-a-whirl or a fat lady in a tube top."

"Candy Striper: Hello Miss Sad Pants, and her friend, Serious Sally! How about a nice cool mint to help turn those frowns upside down? Loretta: Do you think a nice cool mint would help if I shoved your head up your ass?"
