How can such a silly movie be so brilliant and hysterical?!

by Chad9976 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Mar 24 '08
Pros: Many very funny moments; original approach to a tired idea; outstanding performances.
Cons: Continuity errors galore; uneven story; not everyone will get the jokes.
“Drop Dead Gorgeous” was a movie I didn't really want to see. I had sat through its trailer dozens of times assuming it was another idiotic comedy meant to appeal to teens and those who enjoy lowbrow, b-movie humor (the marketing campaign focused ...

"Drop Dead Gorgeous" is a drop-dead-let down.

by thompsonblue , Oct 27 '06
Pros: funny at a few points.
Cons: Not a very good plot, not very interesting, not-that funny.
It is now twelve past one in the morning, and I have just finished watching “Drop Dead Gorgeous.” Frankly I am disappointed with this movie- although at points it was stupid to the point of being funny. So now I will tell you all about this ...

When Ambition Turns Beauty Queens Ugly

by tabloidquill , Oct 05 '04
Pros: Fabulous filmography and highly amusing.
Cons: Even though the characters are well developed, the teen stereotypes still remain.
Over the past few years, there seem to have been a lot of movies under the category ‘teen’. Bring It On, Get Over It, Legally Blonde…the list is endless. Just by looking at the movie posters, you seem to gather the actual content of the ...

Documentary gone wrong!

by jo_ker , Mar 01 '03
Pros: Allison Janney is hysterical
Cons: Slightly confusing
Kirsten Dunst is developing a habit of being in films that feel like you've been cut short before the ending eg Spiderman, The Virgin Suicides and this, Drop Dead Gorgeous. This is one of the only bad things I can say about her however as she is...

When Ambition Turns Beauty Queens Ugly

Pros: An excellent black comedy with brilliant actors and a hilarious plot.
Cons: Some scenes might be a little unpleasant for some.

Not a pretty picture

by Cassady , Aug 17 '02
Pros: Undeniably funny, in a mean sort of way.
Cons: Undeniably mean, in a way that isn't funny.
This mean-spirited satire depicts small-town America as a bunch of stupid, gun-toting, stupid, churchgoing, stupid,
beer-guzzling, stupid yahoos. Hey, it could be worse, you
Hollywood heroin addicts. We midwesterns, at least, don't make all...

Drop Dead Hilarious!

by epogurl , Jul 09 '01
Pros: The Actors and Characterizations
Cons: Some might not be keen on black comedy
It took me a long time to see this movie. I first wanted to see it when it came out in the summer of '99 but it was only in theaters for a couple weeks and I rarely see movies in the theater. So when it came out on video I almost picked it up a few...

Leave It To Me To Enjoy The Only Teen Flick That Bombed In The Theaters

by Slvrchrles , May 28 '01
Pros: funny, decent acting, good plot, somewhat original
Cons: obvious tobacco company influence
Kristen Dunst hasn't exactly made the wisest acting decisions recently. Most of the movies she has had a role in, including Drop Dead Gorgeous, have bombed. However, Drop Dead Gorgeous isn't half bad. Don't dismiss this movie as another beauty pageant...

Hisss! Hisss! Scratch! Scratch!

by InTheAudience , May 23 '01
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...

I'd be a beauty queen if I were 16. (well, that and a girl)

by Chris_Maverick , Feb 28 '01
Pros: Charming story black comedy. Excellent Acting. Great Script.
Cons: Possibly insulting if you take religion or beauty pagents too seriously.
To be honest when I first saw a preview for this movie, I was not at all encouraged to go see it. I thought it was going to be some silly little story about two girls competing against each other in a beauty pageant. It turns out I was wrong. It is a...

Another from The Year of the Teenflick

by majenta , Feb 24 '01
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...

Not to be taken TOO seriously...

by alington , Nov 30 '00
Pros: Hilarious spoof on beauty pageants
Cons: Not for people who take their movie-watching too seriously
My family has roots in Minnesota, and were more than a little amused with "Fargo." So Dad thought we should rent this one, too.

When I first sat down to watch it, I couldn't believe my eyes. I tend to prefer brainy, intellectual...

Absolutely Hilarious (at least for teens)

by sma5hmouth , Nov 29 '00
Pros: extremely funny
Cons: not alot, so stupid its funny
I'm sorry but this movie is absoluetly HILARIOUS. The sarcasm and wit is really funny and the plot is actually so stupid, so thoughtless, that it is entertaining. I saw this with my friend and we were the only ones laughing in the theater. This movie...

U like demented humor? Then this is for U!

by Taten , Nov 05 '00
Pros: Totally off the wall humor
Cons: Not seeing it sooner
Drop Dead Gorgeous is drop dead funny if you are into demented humor. I had not planned to see this movie, but found it to be a delightful surprise.

Dark -- in bad taste -- off colored -- politically incorrect humor fills every scene of...
