Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Autumn Vanderwood I wanna bitchslap each and every one of the adults involved in this. Treating children like this is cruel and literally abusive. I don't even care if 99% of it is staged, it is still absolutely wrong. These people are using their kids for their own agenda. You're all disgusting. The only good thing that could come out of this is the fact that therapists all around the states are gonna get rich. Assuming of course that these "people" have the decency to consult with one.It's at least a pity to see that the US, a vast continent with endless resources, talent, bright new ideas and the means to produce material that can easily have a global reach, is wasting it's time on traumatizing countless children. Including everyone participating in that ghastly show and each person who watched this. This is simply poison which helps in the creation of a superficial and problematic generation. And to anyone out there who can actually enjoy watching more than 5 minutes of these, you all need to see a psychiatrist.

pinkarray This is one of the worst shows ever to hit T.V. besides Little Miss Perfect. I could not tolerate even after 2 minutes of this garbage. This show is about moms teaching their kids how to dress up like a prostitute for pageants that are below the age of about 8! This show is supposed to be about toddlers, why do they got seven year olds in there? This title doesn't even make sense! The kids are ugly, the moms are pressuring their kids to do challenging exercises, why can't they just treat their kid as if they were a kid? I can't believe what America has come to! Seriously, this series has got to be fake!

dwr890 What is there to be said about this show "Toddlers and Tiaras"? There has never been a reality show like this before; you could take all of the popular reality shows like Jersey Shore, The Real World, Teen Mom,16 and Pregnant, splice them together, and there would only be half as much controversy as this show has. Watching episodes of this show literally makes me cringe (i'm pretty sure everyone remembers the infamous "Pretty Woman" performance). Things I Can't Stand: 1) The mothers are shallow fame-hungry pigs, the fathers are either closeted gays or whipped weaklings, and a majority of the girls on this show are either exploited innocent children or spoiled little brats. There are two mega pageant queens in particular that I cannot stand and they are Mackenzie and Eden Wood. Mackenzie is a total mini b*tch diva, her mother always looks likes she's either high or drunk and never gives Mackenzie any type of discipline. Mackenzie is touchy, bossy, rude and is always screaming for her Ni-Ni. Eden Wood I can tolerate a little because it's not really her I despise; it's her mother. Eden's mother never misses an opportunity to milk money from her daughter's fame. She wants a clothing line and merchandise under the name "Eden Wood". She even had a f*cking prototype of the Eden Wood doll made for her daughter's performance!Also I forgot about the disgustingly cute Honey Boo Boo. That whole "holla for a dolla" routine is deplorable; both her and her fat mom are idiots. Although there is one girl I do like and she is Alaska. Her selfish mother tries so hard for her to be submissive to the extremes of the pageant world, but Alaska doesn't get brainwashed into this sh*t like the others. She actually voices her opinion strongly and doesn't take her mother's crap. There is a moment though when her strength weakens and she eventually gives in to her mother's wish to dye her eyelashes, and unfortunately for her; Alaska becomes like the rest. 2)It makes me sick to my stomach when I see these Southern middle class jokes of parents dish out $10,000-$250,000 on this pointless sh*t, instead saving this money for college, they throw buckets of cash into this pedo- franchise that will leave nothing for their children to fall back on except some plastic trophies and crowns. 3)I hate that the mothers never take the child's well being into consideration. "Beauty Takes Pain" is the motto of this show (straight from the mouths of babes). No matter how many times they say "Ow", "No", "Stop" "That hurts" the torture continues. There is one truly disturbing incident where 1 year old Brucie (Baby Elvis) is dragged by her arm across the floor by her mother in an attempt to put on her costume which was too small. Then there's 4 year old Carley, whose mother threatens her whenever she doesn't practice her routine.The mothers even shove Pixie Sticks and Mountain Dew down their throats for "pep". There is also a brief scene wear a pony is drawn on and gets his mane flat ironed. Child Abuse and Animal Abuse, great 2 for 1 deal! 4) As if this wasn't bad enough, the girls' mental stability is ruptured. They're put under so much stress and pressure that it literally corrupts them. There is a girl on the show named Darla who I think has developed the of multiple personality disorder because she always refers to herself in 3rd person. There are also a few mothers who try to compete with their daughters by bragging about their past wins. The mothers are teaching their daughters to hate themselves. Basically they think to be fake is to be pretty and to be real is to be ugly. They discourage any type of individuality and ambition for their children to become something of importance rather than to become famous. One woman even says that "Pretty people are always popular". When did America become so vain? I know that these women are blind to the fact they're setting their daughters up for a bleak future in which eating disorders, drugs, sex and alcohol will be their only means for comfort. Nevertheless, I applaud TLC for the way the made this show. Rather then view this as entertainment, I see it as more of a documentary to inform the public about the horrendous art of child pageants.

TwinIrish I don't know how this show could even use the word beauty. It should use the word "artificial". The children do not even look like themselves after being subjected to false finger nails, wigs, eyelashes, tans, hair extensions, and over the top makeup. Have I left anything out? Painting 20 year old faces on children is almost obscene. I saw one mother even put false toe nails on her daughter. I can't help remembering one mother who prayed with her two little girls, both contestants, before their pageant that they would bring home a crown. She mentioned bringing home a crown twice during her so-called prayer. I, too, believe that the parents love crowing to family and friends when their children win something. Most of the children get so tired. The show got truly stupid after some parents did all the expressions, movements and prancing around for their children to copy. They did everything except get up on the stage themselves. Apparently the pageant people don't care what goes on as long as they get their entrance fees.
