One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

"Hell on Heels: The Battle Of Mary Kay" is hilarious! I was anticipating this tv movie because I'm a huge fan of Parker Posey and i was truly impressed. Shirly MacLaine plays Mary Kay, the woman behind the makeup company, we first meet her at a convention for all the sellers of her makeup. AT this convention, Mary Kay is basically worshiped, like she is Jesus himself. We then meet Jinger Heath (Parker Posey) who's husband owns another rival makeup company. For him to get more sales, he asks Jinger to come in and help sell his makeup, much like Mary Kay.The story goes on from there, where the two rivals compete to get a bigger following. The performances are great. MacLaine can never do wrong, and she fits the part of Mary Kay to a tee. Parker Posey plays a bitch brillantly, the two of them together is a match made in Hollywood heaven. All in all, a great film! ***** (out of 5)

I decided to tape this movie on a lark. At first, I thought they were going for maximum silliness, but the story sucked me in anyway, and I enjoyed it all the way to the end.Mary Kay's women are passionate about their product. For a lot a good reasons, too -- The lady herself was extremely inspirational. The rival company behaved more like modern entities: its executives rode their stock up, and then the employees hurt the most when the company crashed. Meanwhile, Mary Kay took her company private, kept treating her employees like human beings, and grew ever larger.The movie's best line (from Mary Kay): "Son, you do know it was never about the makeup."Shirley MacLaine outdid herself playing Mary Kay. Overall, the film was funny and serious at the same time, and a total treat. It's worth 8 out of 10 stars.

Shirley MacLaine, a veteran visitor to Winnipeg, makes this otherwise typically made for TV movie almost the quality of a theatrical release. The woman of the 50's and 60's once so stereotyped is well echoed in Maclaine's portrayal Of Mary Kay. The cliché quotes are direct from Mark Kay's philosophy of life and business. The story also gives an accurate account of Mary Kay's almost Bi-polar approach in her successful business. She could instantly turn on the charm and caring attitude with her public no matter what. Shannon Doherty has found a vehicle for which her abilities are best suited - slightly comic/overdone and, well ditzy Barbie Doll. Parker Posey plays the role of the competition to Mary Kay Cosmetics with a great level of believability. This movie was filmed in the summer in Winnipeg when the temperatures were high as well the humidity yet this all star cast demonstrated their `give it all capabilities' and maintained their cool. This movie also showcases many of the fine locations available in Winnipeg and provides great example of why this city is used in so many American productions. Bravo to all involved!
