Drop Dead Gorgeous

Pros: Kirsten Dunst is loveable, maybe a bit too loveable.
Cons: Muddled, confused satire, no laughs, very few brains

Here we have a movie that affirms that great Hollywood myth that good things happen to good people and the bad people always get theirs in the end. Ah yes, the warm fuzzies that true Hollywood movies deliver, without actually succeeding on any sort of...

Pros: hilarious, great story
Cons: only if you're easily offended

"Drop Dead Gorgeous" is one of those movies that you just have to see. It's really demented and sick, but it's hilarious. I've rented it more than once now, and it continues to make me laugh hysterically.

It's a pseudo-documentary...

Pros: Black comedy attacks the beauty pageants.
Cons: Really vulgar.

Miss America this ain't. (At least I hope not!) "Drop Dead Gorgeous" is a dead on target farce that spoofs the beauty pageant biz. Every negative stereotype is exploited, every possible angle covered and it is funny!
This mockumentary...

Pros: Dead on portrayal of small town america, lots of fun
Cons: some morbid scenes, dark humor

We chanced in on the end of this movie the other night, and went back again to see it from the beginning. Regardless of the other reveiws poor ratings, I loved it. Yes, it has it's down side, but hey, I grew up in "small town America", and...

Pros: Brutally hilarious
Cons: Slow in parts

Drop Dead Gorgeous is many things; it's a blend of stereotypes of Mid West life, a criticism of a self-absorbed society, cheap trailer park jokes and too much hair spray. If any of those things make you cringe you'd better stay away, because DDG is...

Pros: Great gut busting comedy.
Cons: Ok, the beer can gag went on for too long.

Drop Dead Gorgeous is a very cerebral comedy. It is a spoof of a documentary of a beauty pageant. The director mocks documentary movies, pageantry, the way people talk in Minnesota and overzealous parents who want their children to win at all costs....

Pros: Allison Janney as Loretta
Cons: Just plain bad.

I ordered Drop Dead Gorgeous the other day from DirectTV. I was in high hopes to watch it; I'd missed it during its stint in the theatres and I was really excited as I thought the preview looked great. I assumed I was in for a very funny...

Pros: --
Cons: See entirety of review

Drop Dead Gorgeous is a mockumentary (my least favourite genre) that fails to evoke a sense of documentary, and a comedy that’s hurtin’ for laughs. It’s the kind of movie that considers a montage of dim-witted answers to the hoary question "If you...

Pros: Packed with small comic details; several laugh out loud moments
Cons: Easy targets for satire

Reactions to this hilarious film are a litmus test for your sense of humor. Indeed, they are a PG-13 rated version of the test provided by the recent 'South Park' movie. The grossness of South Park left nearly all viewers gape-mouthed in shock. For some...

Pros: dead-on portrait of small-town beauty pageants
Cons: not much of a script

If you've never been to a teen beauty pageant, this movie will go right under your head; Drop Dead Gorgeous adolescents (played mostly by grown women) spar for a crown in a morality play about bad rich girls and plucky trailer trash. If you've ever...

Pros: great cast, great setting, funny script
Cons: gross barf scene, some blasphemy

I am from Minnesota and I probably appreciate this movie more because of that. There were a lot of jokes about our culture. First of all, I don't talk like that. But it depends what part of the state you live in. Second, if you didn't notice there was a...

Pros: None. Not even the girls make this movie worth it.
Cons: This movie should never have been made.

My sister took me to see this movie and I still feel ripped off. I want my hour and thirty-seven minutes added back to my life! This movie sucked. Plain and simple there were NO redeeming qualities to this film.

When my sister suggested...

Pros: Kirsten Dunst, Allison Janney; Denise Richards and Kirstie Alley as villains
Cons: Objectionable treatment of small-towners and mentally-handicapped people

GO. 200 CIGARETTES. NEVER BEEN KISSED. EVER AFTER. JAWBREAKER. 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU. In early-spring 1999, USATODAY provided a chart of the upcoming teenflicks: main character, her portrayer, her goal, her love interest,and the character of an...

Pros: Wrenches laughs out of you.
Cons: Ugly and mean-spirited.

DROP DEAD GORGEOUS did wrench some laughs out of me. It’s funny in a few places. The mockumentary style provides a lot of comedy, and Kirsten Dunst cheerfully dancing around the embalming room with her headphones on while she applies makeup to the...

Pros: Well... Hmmm... Wow...
Cons: Too many.

But I don't have a clue what they were talking about.

Kristen Dunst plays a girl who is just dying to become a beauty queen by winning a local pageant. The other contestants are, unfortunately, literally dying around her.
