Simply A Masterpiece

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Basically, this is a "mockumentary" style film. Kirstin is the protagonist, living with her mother (Ellen) in a mobile home. When the documentary team approaches a neighbor asks if they're on "Cops," again. It just gets better and better. It just has layers and layers of crazy, and stupid, and hick, and silly, small-town nonsense wrapped in more and more of the same. Denise Richards is priceless as is Brittany Murphy. From start to finish, it giggle, after chuckle, after out-right guffaws. The mix of small town realities with the desire to escape the anonymity of small town life is what leads all the characters to engage in every part of the "beauty pageant." The pageant has almost nothing to do with the movie plot.

Well, the story of this film is admirably original. A small city has a pageant to choose the prettiest girl around. The film works as a documentary and explores many social town's aspects, making some funny jokes involving irony and sarcasm that really works. Sometimes the characters seem to be unintentionally funny, but of course that's the purpose of the writers-- make them look as if they weren't trying to be funny. "Drop Dead Gorgeous" is apparently a good choice for all ages, since anyone can understand the simple jokes and critics they make throughout the fast 97 minutes. It's just a shame that this film didn't make it to the mainstream and ended up being forgotten right after it's release... I believe it could have had a better publicity. Anyways, give it a try!

This movie always makes me laugh until I'm in tears. My favorite comedy of all time The jokes don't spare anybody in this film. It's an equal opportunity mock fest.The mid-west accents, religious lifestyle one ups man-ship, small town politics, class warfare pettiness, the mundane social life highlights of the VFW, hunting season, funeral buffets, town parades where even the clowns are smoking on the job, are hilarious.This movie has well done comedic timing and the jokes keep rolling along whether seeing the previous queen wheelchair dance with help from her anorexia hospital ward nurse, dog barking talent segments, bizarre monologue interpretations to Soylent Green, sign language dance numbers, back stabbing stage moms, to creepy judges, all facets of pageant life is shown. For those who despise warped humor this film is not for you but for viewers who love to never take life too seriously this movie is great.

I just watched this again for the first time in a few years. And it is even more hilarious than I remembered. The script is wicked, creating satire that assaults the senses like a baseball bat to the gut. The cast is perfect. Just about everyone delivers an inspired performance, and there are too many to talk about all of them. But the least likely is worth mentioning. Denise Richards is brilliant as a born-to-be beauty queen, the daughter of the local pageant manager, played by Kirstie Alley. Her "talent" performance is the dark highlight of the movie, so ridiculously over-the-top that that you may feel the need to wince. Try not to. If you close your eyes for even a moment, you'll miss something.Brittany Murphy also deserves a special mention. She plays a goofy, good-natured contestant in what would be a throw-away role for many actors. But Murphy brings a charm and commitment that makes it work. And she is rewarded with what I think is the best line in the movie.
