Pros: A funny take on teen beauty pageants Cons: Absolutely NOTHING extra on the DVD
NOTE: This review will have NOTHING to do with the movie itself. There are plenty of other reviews on this site for this movie. If you want a commentary on the entertainment value of the movie itself, read another review.
If you are...

Pros: End was great Cons: Interviewing got boring
This movie was OK...weird and hard to understand some also. I saw this movie on New Year's eve. I saw this movie because I heard that other people wanted to see it also so it must be good.
This is basically a beauty contest (a pagent). They...

Pros: Sick, Sad, but Funny Cons: Just a tad bit lengthy in some places.
I have to admit that even though this movie is a comedy, in order to enjoy it, you have to have a sick sense of humor.
This movie is about a group of girls in a small town who are trying to be Miss Teen America.The things that they put each other...

Pros: None. But maybe I could catch something if I forced myself to watch it again. Not going to happen! Cons: The entire movie is a waste. A waste of the actresses time, the waste of props, equipment, and more importantly, a waste of your money!
DDG. Pageants have certainly changed over the years. But not to this extent! Drop Dead Gorgeous has went a little to far and tried just a little to hard to place itself in the comedy section of our video stores.
I am a great fan to...

Pros: some stupidish, quirky type funny comedy, a good movie to take a load of your mind Cons: not the kind of movie most will like, the talking gets annoying, it's not an Oscar winner that's for sure
First off, let’s summarize a little of the plot of this fun, good for a laugh, and to relax kinda movie that is in no way superior to the all time best films out there, but full of that stupid kinda humor, that is so stupid it does tend to make you...

Pros: funny,ellen barkin and kirstie alley are great Cons: tasteless, not for weak stomachs(1 part)
If you want to see a movie with almost as many laughs as There's Something about Mary then check out this flick full of fun not only for the viewer but probably even more fun for Kirstie Alley and Ellen Barkin who got to star in it. K A cross between...

Pros: the movie ended! Cons: just plain stupid and pointless
The previews made the movie seem funny at least but the actual film was completely horrible. There was no drive to the movie, no real plot to it and the acting could have used a major makeover. The cast was alright. Kirstin Dunst actually did a very...

Pros: Better than you might have been led to expect ... Cons: The whole doesn't quite add up to its parts ...
The Rutles begat Spinal Tap begat Man Bites Dog begat Waiting for Guffman begat Forgotten Silver, but if there's yet been a Year of the Mockumentary, 1999 was it. The Blair Witch Project, The Mating Habits of the Earthbound Human, and even the year's...

by BrianKoller - Top 50, Jul 24 '99
Pros: Kirsten Dunst Cons: Obvious cheap shots
If any target is ripe for a mockumentary,
it is a teenage beauty pageant. Phoniness
from and condescension towards the contestants
is in full display, with wooden production
numbers and numbing conformity added to the
mix. ...

Pros: Something to offend everyone Cons: Might send uptight prudes and Lutherans over the edge
If you love the vulgar and tasteless humor of "Absolutely Fabulous", "South Park", or "There's Something About Mary", you will love this.
Growing up in small town America I can certainly appreciate this film. It...

Pros: It made me think about what the heck I am doing with my life Cons: Too many to put in this little space
I just didn't get this movie. Maybe the new comedy for the 21st century isn't for me? Could it be that I have become too serious? Or could it be that this movie just stunk?
I, of course, would vote for the latter. I rented the movie based on the...

Pros: for the men-some cute women. for the ladies-see how ridiculous women can be and thank god you are not one of them Cons: lousy acting, not very funny
This movie is awful. I take that back. If you are they type of person who enjoys movies with a horrible plot and talentless acting, then this movie is exactly for you! The only funny parts of the movie occurred when Ellen Barkin was in the scene....

Pros: Ingenious mocumentary + filmmaking; Great acting; Wonderful unexpected climax; Cool cameos. Cons: Conjures up images of bitchy girls that you know; Stereotypes can get annoying.
This movie looked like it had potential way back from the previews... but like most movies, it looked like it wasn't worth blowing $6.50 to go out and see in a theater. How wrong I was. I recently rented this movie 'cuz most ANY movie is worth $1.00...

Pros: none Cons: I rented it, I paid the rental price, I watched it
Obviously someone had nothing better to do than make another dingy teenage movie. Kristy Alley is the worst actress I have ever seen and that voice uggh...... It sounds like she is always sick. I have always like Kristen Dunst; well better than Kristy...

Pros: Funny. Ish. Cons: Hard to believe, one dimensional characters
Surprisingly, there are a few things that are good about this movie. There is a certain element of midwest satire present throughout the entire movie, and at times it is very funny, although the humor is brainless. Very un-P.C. If you can watch it...
