A glittery and insane fever dream that somehow feels incredibly real. The accents alone are worth the watch. A wild ride worth taking.

Drop Dead Gorgeous

I'm not that big into mockumentary style, but this is definitely the best of the few I've seen so far. The dark humor is primarily why I had some good laughs, and it was cool to see so many names in this cast before they got huge.

Drop Dead Gorgeous

not my sense of humor… i’m not sure a single joke even got me to smile the attempts to satirize how beauty pageants effect women are lost and miss the point with an astounding lack of empathy, even for a dark comedy

I love Kirsten Dunst and everything She does. And this movie is not an exception. A great comedy. People just don’t write as good movies as in the 90s.

Another one of my favorites growing up but honestly that’s wild to think back on because this was not something a young child should have been watching.

Laughed out loud a ton during this one. Everyone is so unfazed in this bizarro town. Janney, Sterling, Adams and Sasso were a blast.

Drop Dead Gorgeous

Really needed an early 2000s raunchy, no holding back, teen comedy! Definitely deserves the title of cult classic and so underrated!

Very funny and not talked about enough. Love the ideas and love the time period and everything about it is just so great. 8/10
