Subtle is not the word to describe Drop Dead Gorgeous, a mock documentary purporting to cover the Sarah Rose Cosmetics Teen America Beauty Pageant in Mount Rose, Minnesota. Ellen Barkin (Sea of Love) and Kirsten Dunst (Interview with a Vampire, Dick) are perfectly cast as a mother and daughter whose only ambition is to use the pageant to get out of their claustrophobic small-town lives. Opposing them are Denise Richards (Wild Things, Starship Troopers) and her mother, Kirstie Alley (Look Who's Talking), who just happens to be the pageant's organizer. The plot, which centers on contestants being murdered (mostly by flaming explosions), is clearly secondary to the backstage shenanigans and satirical portrayals of vanity, small-town corruption, and family dysfunction. There's not much suspense to the pageant itself, but Dunst is an endearing protagonist and along with the broad jokes are some excellent acting turns from the cast, particularly Barkin, Brittany Murphy (Clueless), Nora Dunn (a Saturday Night Live alumna), and the great character actress Allison Janney, who's played small roles in countless movies but finally gets a chance to shine as the supportive neighbor of Barkin and Dunst. In fact, for all the jokes and satirical jabs, in the end it's the characters' relationships that stay in your mind. A bonus: the soundtrack features a hard-rocking version of the theme from The Mary Tyler Moore Show, performed with cool aplomb by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. --Bret Fetzer

Yep you read it right. This movie is so funny and I enjoyed it so much over the years that I plan on buying a second copy since my first dvd is getting a little scratched. When I pull this movie out to watch with friends at first they don't think much about it but after the intro with Adam West, they get intrigued after the first ten minutes they're hooked.
If had to whittle down my collection of DVDs to only 100, this one would surely make the cut.

Drop Dead Gorgeous, though not subtle, is a cleverly written comedy in the "mockumentory" style of "This is Spinal Tap." However, it lampoons many of the slightly (or not so slightly) absurd aspects of both beauty pageants and living in white mid-west suburbia. The role of a spoiled, snotty, self-absorbed teen princess holy roller isn't so much a role for Dennis Richards (well, everything but the holy roller part) as a biography. Kirsten Dunst comes through with a stellar performance as preppy ... Read More

This is one of those barely seen old school, beauty queen spoof, movies that most missed out on back in the day! It is hilarious and if you like Kirsten Dunst, Denise Richards and the movie "FARGO", you'll love this one! This is just a feel good comedy that you can laugh at with others who have a sense of humor.

This is a movie that we (my 3 grown daughters) and I like to watch from time to time for the one-liners. It makes fun of beauty pageants, the Midwest, small town politics, you name it, the gloves are off on this one. If you are looking for oscar-worthy performances, look somewhere else. If you are looking for low-brow laughs and an all around good time, look no further.

A lot of people will not agree with my title for this review, but that is only based on my opinion because it is most definitely my fav ever. I absolutely LOVE this movie, and can quote it until I'm blue in the face. Whenever I have a bad day, I know popping in this DVD will just get me ROFL soon enough!
