Plot

A renowned (and ruthless) pageant coach, desperately sought after by young women competing to be Miss America because she can turn any girl into a winner, is challenged to train a beautiful, yet unpolished and untested, contestant.

Set in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Queen America is a dark comedy about Vicki Ellis (Zeta-Jones), the most renowned (and ruthless) pageant coach in the state, and the hapless Samantha Cole who hopes Vicki can mold her into a worthwhile contender for the title of Miss America.—Sabrina
