Pros: none Cons: it was pathetic all the way through
Pathetic. Pitiful. Waste of time. What else can I say about this movie? It was one of those low budget films you don't want to waste your time on! It was as bad as the Jerry Springer movie that came out last year! We accidentally rented it,...

Pros: plenty of laughs Cons: a little cheesy and exaggerated
Let me start off by saying that I am in the Junior Miss pageant at my school this year and I live in a small town in Washington so the circumstances of this movie are very familiar to me, and this movie shows pretty accurately what it is like, except...

Pros: A few funny moments Cons: Lame plot, overdone stereotypes
Drop Dead Gorgeous was not as bad as many I have rented lately, but I am a so sick and tired of Hollywood making fun of Minnesota. There really is not a lot of stereotypes left untouched by this movie. Now to be sure, there had to be a Minnesotan or...

Pros: no one else will rent it Cons: it sucked, what else can someone say but the movie sucked
I saw this in the theatres the first day it came out and there was a whopping crowd of 8 people... and my group made up 3 of them. While watching it I don't think anyone seemed more than slightly amused and that might have been because they heard the...

Pros: it does eventually end Cons: not funny, bad actors, horrible story, no laughs
Well, this is one movie I could have lived without seeing. I could have gone my entire life without it. It wasn't at all funny, and seems to only prove that pretty girls can't act. The plot was just stupid, the jokes were juvinial, and the ending was...

Pros: A pleasant surprise as far as most comedic fare goes. Cons: May be offensive to people involved in beauty pageants who take themselves too seriously.
"Drop Dead Gorgeous" is what I would consider a pleasant surprise. I remember seeing the trailer for this before it debuted in theaters, and although it had a humorous part or two, I didn't think it was anything I'd want to see. After all, a...

Pros: smart satire, occasional moments of true warmth Cons: often gross, unnecessary, over the top and mean
I have no idea if this movie would be funny to someone who never did teen pageants. While it's over the top and often unnecessarily gross and crass it's so dead on in some of the smaller details (like interview questions such as "if you were a...

Pros: lots of laughs Cons: sick jokes
Drop Dead Gorgeous is one of those movies that flop at the box office and no one really gives it a chance. I rented it thinking it would be stupid but I would give it a shot anyway. It ended up being pretty funny and I'm glad I rented it. It's not your...

Pros: None Cons: Where do I start?
Ugh, what a rotten movie! Tacky, tacky, tacky. I understand it was a parody of the beauty pageant craze, but the acting was terrible, the plot was lame, and the message it was trying to put across? Just what exactly was that? The funniest part of the...

Pros: Satire Cons: some of the jokes
I really enjoyed this film. The story was a bit of a stretch but so is the idea of wanting the title of Miss Anything. This film is a wonderful look at what young women live with regarding beauty, competition and the relationship they have with their...

Pros: good actresses Cons: accents, plot
This movie would maybe have been ok had it taken place in a state were they accents weren't so strong. Anytime a movie has strong accents its hard to pull it off to an audience that is not used to it. Well the basic plot of the movie is a small town...

Pros: Has surprises, reaches heights of funniness at times Cons: easy targets of many jokes, predictable storyline
This movie attempts to tap into the joke-documentary typified by "This is Spinal Tap" and "Man Bites Dog". It resembles a work by the makers of Spinal Tap, called "Waiting for Guffman"- also about a production in a...

Pros: everything Cons: nothing
I wasn't going to see this movie but my friends wanted to. I usually don't want to see movies that have violent names like this but I made an exception. Its one of the best movies ever directed. I liked it so much that I went to see it again, its even...

Pros: cool cast, cute plot line Cons: not very funny, stupid plot line
I have to say, when I first rented Drop Dead Gorgeous, I expected it to be 5 stars. I thought it would have a cool plot and cool celebs. Well, it did have a cool plot IDEA and some cool celebs (Kirsten Dunst, Kristie Ally, Denise Richards) but it was...

Pros: Light, Funny, Keeps you laughing. Cons: Not very deep, a little over the top.
Drop Dead Gorgeous is a light, funny comedy perfect for a night when you have a bunch of friends coming over. The movie takes place in Minnesota, and although Kirstie Ally's accent was horrendous, the northern location gives the movie a zany feel not...
