Positively True Adventures Of The Alleged Texas Cheerleader-Murdering Mom

She wanted to give her daughter the best shot at being a cheerleader… The things you do for your kids.

What happens when the pursuit of happiness drives you round the bend? Holly Hunter finds out when she stars as Wanda Holloway, a loving mother who wants the best for her daughter -- at almost any price.

Wanda and her close neighbor and fellow stage mother Verna each want their own daughter to win a coveted spot on the high school cheerleading team. The battle for the prized pom-poms is so intense that while her daughter is doing the splits, Wanda is busy devising a plan to try and guarantee her winning. Her plan leads her to talk of murder. Wanda says it started as a joke, but when her brother- in- law Terry (Beau Bridges) goes to the cops, Wanda becomes entangled in a trial for solicitation of murder, making for a movie that would be tragic -- if it weren´t so hysterically funny.
