Profile of Drop Dead Gorgeous

The mood of Drop Dead Gorgeous is biting, witty, and humorous. The plot centers around outward appearances, blind ambition, and small town life. It features farce and satire. Drop Dead Gorgeous is a comedy movie. Stylistically, it is a mockumentary. In approach, it is not serious and realistic. Drop Dead Gorgeous takes place, at least partly, in a small town. The setting is Minnesota. It happens in the 1990s. Drop Dead Gorgeous is especially suggested for a girls' night and teens.

Summary of Drop Dead Gorgeous

There can be only one Miss Teen Princess and an overbearing mother will stop at nothing to make sure her daughter wins a beauty contest. A twisted comedy set in a small Minnesota town loaded with some very unladylike behavior. Watch out for the affected Midwestern accents!

So genuinely, viciously funny you can't help laughing -- even when you feel really bad about yourself for doing so. Full Review

Los Angeles Times

Occasionally heavy-handed and overdone -- and scarcely free from a self-congratulatory tone -- this latest spoof is nonetheless lots of fun, clever and fearless, and loaded with wicked lines and touches. Full Review

One of my favorites. A real laugh-out-loud comedy. I've lived most of my life in small-town Minnesota, and I think it was a perfect setting for the movie. I remember the first time I watched this, a friend I was with was so offended. It was great. Read and rate it
