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. [More]

Reviews for Miss Firecracker
Warmly human film based on Beth Henley's 1984 play. It will appeal to those who long for liberation from bad dreams and yearn for a place where they can be accepted for who they are.
A neglected gem with sensational performances by everyone, especially Steenburgen and Woodard.
