If anyone took this movie seriously & gave it bad ratings, they should never rent a comedy again because they obviously have no sense of ANY kind of humor...... Full review

This cynical film satirizes beauty pageants and the people who are run the show. At first glance, you think this movie will follow the steps of "Mean Girls" or "Clueless." However, this story surpassed them all. I was amused by each... Full review

What I though was going to be a rubbish film, this is absolutely hilarious! I cried laughing in so many scenes. This wicked dark comedy stars a fresh faced Kirsten Dunst as she goes through the ups and downs of a... Full review
Right up there with "Best in Show."

Hysterically funny, it's hard to believe the film's director was not responsible for "Best in Show" and "Mighty Wind." O.K, so maybe a little more effort might have been to flesh out all the characters and provide a bit more book.... Full review

Imagine a weird blend of "This Is Spinal Tap" and "Fargo" and you will have a fairly good read on 1999's "Drop Dead Gorgeous. There is definitely a Coen Brothers feel to the film, which is done in "mockumentary" style... Full review

I like Denise Richards.....Richards ever fully lets her guard down in front of the camera and even the more candid moments don't feel all that candid..... ... Full Review

Taking its cue from 1974's similar teen beauty pageant movie, "Smile," which may have been more realistic....it serves up enough fresh, saucy ideas for two movies.....that the film is rated PG-13 is rather amazing considering some of the sure-to-be-controversial story elements.....The cast is uniformly excellent across the board, particularly 17-year-old Kirsten Dunst.... ...

Since then, audiences have had an onslaught of variations on the form, including the decent Drop Dead Gorgeous. That's the burning question of Drop Dead Gorgeous, in which the citizens of Mount Rose, Minnesota gear up for the year's biggest event, the Sarah Rose Miss Teen Princess America Pageant, in which Becky Leeman (Denise Richards) and Amber Atkins (Kirsten Dunst) are the contestants to beat. ...

Jann also founded MTV's defunct sketch comedy gas, "The State," one of the best in this decade's sketch-comedy boon.....But screenwriter Lona Williams is looking for laughs in the most obvious places -....The film's most drop-dead hysterical moment comes at the expense of the reigning Mount Rose Teen Princess.....this is just sketchy as it slums mercilessly in low-class cheap shots..... ...
