Movie Description
This hilarious comedy stars Holly Hunter as Carnelle, a sexually-loose hellraiser who was orphaned as a child and has grown up in the shadow of her beautiful cousin, a proper southern belle and past Miss Firecracker. Carnelle, far from the typical contestant, sets her sights on the current crown and devises a scheme to enter and win the contest. Hunter is fabulous as the fiery Carnelle, giving justice to the film's title.
Synopsis
Comedy about Carnelle, a sexually-loose hellraiser, who enters the Miss Firecracker contest in the very old-fashioned town where she was raised, Yazoo City, Mississippi. Carnelle's not the usual kind of contestant -- but her cousin is a famous winner -- and Carnelle's determined to equal her, no matter what the obstacles.
Film Notes
Holly Hunter originated her role in the Off-Broadway version of this film, "This Miss Firecracker Contest".
Christine Lahti, wife of director Schlamme, makes a cameo appearance in this film.
Industry Reviews
"...MISS FIRECRACKER is a spirited lark...It's shot through with enchantment....The movie boasts its own scratching vitality and a cast that makes rousing good company..."
Rolling Stone - p.40 - Peter Travers (05/18/1989)
