Review
Happy, Texas is an original and good-natured comedy about two convicts, Harry and Wayne, who escape from a prisoner van. They steal a minivan belonging to two gays who do beauty pageants for children. Harry and Wayne pretend to be the owners of the van in the small town Happy in Texas where the two talent contest professionals were to coach the girls in Ms Schaefter's class so they could become number one in a huge children's pageant.
The talentless Wayne is left with the coaching while Harry tries to figure out how to rob the local bank. His plans also include making friends with the head of the bank, Josephine aka 'Joe'. Unfortunately Harry is attracted to Josephine, but he has to conceal his feelings as he is supposed to be gay.
