Pros: Very funny Cons: ending lacked...a bit
If felt like someone was pumping in laughing gas, as we watched this movie. Drop Dead Gorgeous...was sooo sooo funny.
I have not laughed this much at a movie for so long. I won't tell you all about it, but you have to get this one. ...

Pros: I could turn it off Cons: I had to pay for it
I really like to rent movies to watch in bed with my wife. I thought that this movie would be one that we could both enjoy. Her because of the competition involved and the behind the scenes of a beauty show and me....well because of the girls. We both...

Pros: a bit of humor Cons: most of the entire movie
I never got to see this movie at the theatres and I was sort of disappointed. But then it came out on video so I actually bought it. That, was an even bigger disappointment! As I sat there watching this movie I thought to myself "this is the movie...

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...

Pros: satire, social commentary, hilarious twists Cons: Kirstie Ally, profanity, portrayals of severe family dysfunction
What a riot this movie turned out to be! It is a 'mockumentary' of a small town beauty contest, complete with exposure of the politics we often hear behind the scenes of such endeavors. There is more than one level on which a thinking person can enjoy...

Pros: Denise Richards gets what she deserves! Cons: Cute movie with cheesy jokes
This was put on my wait until video list, but I might have actually paid $9.00 to see it. The trailer looked "cute" and I'm all for those high school girly movies; I have no idea why. One thing, if you despise Denise Richards like I do, you...

Pros: witty in places Cons: far too long and sluggish
"Drop Dead Gorgeous" is a flop of a mock-umentary. From beginning to end it's overdone without ever extending itself far enough to make things click. It's far too long (not that the running time is overly long--the film simply doesn't have...

Pros: A rather funny movie, it really suprised me. The acting was really good on Kristen Dunst and Kristey Alley's part. Catfights. Cons: It's not for everyone, and the theme is rather hokey for a movie.
Honestly, when I first saw commercials for this movie, I thought it seemed kind of dumb. Then my mom rented it one night when it came out on video. Usually I stick around for a 15 minutes to decide if the movie is worth watching, or just go in my room...

Pros: The ULTIMATE accurate documentary!!! Cons: Guaranteed to offend due to language and a scene mocking the Crucifixion
Okay, so not everyone likes beauty pageants - I can deal with that; it doesn't surprise me... but many people bashed this movie in the press, and while it certainly didn't pose a threat to "American Beauty" on Oscar night, I'd like to defend...

Pros: Hot Women....nuff said Cons: Kinda goofy plot
The story line in this movie was only mediocre. The comedy was alright. But the girls.....GOOD LORD!!! Wow. I went to see the movie because I like watching Denise Richards. I left thinking that Kristen Dunst was a goddess!!!!
As far as...

Pros: Great everything Cons: raunchy
How could anyone dislike this movie? It's funny, has big stars, a great plot, who could ask for more? I admit parts of the movie are raunchy. I don't like a retarded man being teased and made fun of like many scenes show. But look past that and you find...

Pros: A few funny spots to wake you up. Cons: Not one to keep you rolling.
I rented Drop Dead Gorgeous on a recommendation from the guy at the movie store. Never again! This was a lame reminder of the movie Fargo. I had flashbacks of "You Betcha". And Kirstie Alley didn't do a very good job of holding her accent...

Pros: Funny and satirical Cons: some Christian-bashing
When I first started watching "Drop Dead Gorgeous," I turned to my husband and said, "This has GOT to be a John Waters movie!" It isn't, but Jann Michael Patrick must have been inspired by both Waters and the Cohen brothers. This...

Pros: Dark Humor, Realistic, Funny as All Get Out! Cons: So much truth in it, it is sad!
This movie couldn't BE MORE like one mother I know! I watched her force her daughter into beauty pageants until the daughter left home! The daughter hated them. The mother made her feel 'less than perfect' by always lying on the forms that requested...

Pros: very good acting Cons: Kirstie Alley
I saw this movie for the first time this summer. I'd never heard of it, but there was nothing else to see. I came out of the theater with a stomach ache from laughing. It was so funny.
I am the kind of person that likes dumb movies. They make me...
