Allison Janney is tacky incarnate as Barkin's good-time gal pal.
Although the satire is biting and the tone is irreverent, Drop Dead Gorgeous lacks the killer script and top notch performances necessary to make this a wholly successful production.
Gorgeous is one of the year's funniest acts of malice!
Fitfully amusing!
Viciously funny!
Beneath its mean-spiritedness is a sharp-clawed wit.
In spite of all the predictability, the campy tone of Drop Dead Gorgeous, combined with such fun performances, is what makes it so wonderful.
Too caustic to be as funny as it easily should be with this scenario and in some cases these exact lines of dialogue.
Williams, however, thinks we should be tickled just by the mere mention of cow-tipping, lutefisk and Melissa Manchester. ... Poor people living in trailer parks and wearing polyester -- pretty witty stuff, this.
Perfectly wicked and hilarious!
Charmingly hilarious!
There are laughs: the leering judges, especially, who don't know much when it comes to talent but are impressed with nubile young girls flexing their limbs.
It was pretty funny. And Brittany Murphy was just great
Super Reviewer
I had very low expections for this film. In fact, the only reason I watched it was because this is Amy Adams' debut film. However, this film was quite enjoyable. It's hilarious and I love the mockumentary style of it. The humor is so great, too. I also loved seeing all the young stars in this film....Kirsten Dunst, Brittany Murphy, Amy Adams. They all give strong, memorable, and funny performances. Amy Adams and Brittany Murphy are so awesome here. I love them! Not one of the funniest comedies I've seen, but it is still a genuine laugh. Definitely one of my favorites that I have watched in the past weeks. I recommend it!
This is a great comedy with great actresses including Kirsten Dunst, Amy Adams, and Sally Field.
Ellen Barkin is the trailer trash mother of Amber (Kirsten Dunst), Kirstie Alley is the homicidally ambitious mother of Becky (Denise Richards) a spoilt rich bitch. They will stop at nothing to make sure their daughters win the Mount Rose beauty pageant, and i mean nothing. The whole movie is made in incredibly bad taste and for that reason alone, a lot of people will hate it; but i found it was very refreshing to see a black comedy of this quality for a change. It's wonderfully scripted and directed, and the cast is simply perfect; everyone in it appears to be relishing the humour in the movie and it shows in their performances. If you like this kind of humour, you will love this, if you don't warm to black comedy then it's best left alone.
