Poster for Happy, Texas

Escaped convicts disguised as beauty pageant experts? This could get ugly.

Two escaped convicts roll into the village of Happy, Texas, where they're mistaken for a gay couple who work as beauty pageant consultants. They go along with it to duck the police, but the local sheriff has a secret of his own.
