    Product Description
    THE SARAH ROSE COSMETICS MISS TEEN PRINCESS AMERICA PAGEANT IS A BEAUTY CONTEST TO DIE FOR. AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THE CONTESTANTS IN MOUNT ROSE, MINNESOTA ARE DOING IN THIS HILARIOUS SATIRE OF ALL-AMERICAN COMPETITION. SPECIAL FEATURES: ANIMATED AND INTERACTIVE MENUS, CAST AND CREW FILMOGRAPHIES AND MORE.

    Amazon.com
    Subtle is not the word to describe Drop Dead Gorgeous, a mock documentary purporting to cover the Sarah Rose Cosmetics Teen America Beauty Pageant in Mount Rose, Minnesota. Ellen Barkin (Sea of Love) and Kirsten Dunst (Interview with a Vampire, Dick) are perfectly cast as a mother and daughter whose only ambition is to use the pageant to get out of their claustrophobic small-town lives. Opposing them are Denise Richards (Wild Things, Starship Troopers) and her mother, Kirstie Alley (Look Who's Talking), who just happens to be the pageant's organizer. The plot, which centers on contestants being murdered (mostly by flaming explosions), is clearly secondary to the backstage shenanigans and satirical portrayals of vanity, small-town corruption, and family dysfunction. There's not much suspense to the pageant itself, but Dunst is an endearing protagonist and along with the broad jokes are some excellent acting turns from the cast, particularly Barkin, Brittany Murphy (Clueless), Nora Dunn (a Saturday Night Live alumna), and the great character actress Allison Janney, who's played small roles in countless movies but finally gets a chance to shine as the supportive neighbor of Barkin and Dunst. In fact, for all the jokes and satirical jabs, in the end it's the characters' relationships that stay in your mind. A bonus: the soundtrack features a hard-rocking version of the theme from The Mary Tyler Moore Show, performed with cool aplomb by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. --Bret Fetzer

    3 out of 5 stars Cult family favorite   May 8, 2009
    V. Arguello (San Francisco, CA)
    This is a movie that we (my 3 grown daughters) and I like to watch from time to time for the one-liners. It makes fun of beauty pageants, the Midwest, small town politics, you name it, the gloves are off on this one. If you are looking for oscar-worthy performances, look somewhere else. If you are looking for low-brow laughs and an all around good time, look no further.


    5 out of 5 stars Best Comedy EVER!   March 10, 2009
    Erica (Southeastern Michigan)
    A lot of people will not agree with my title for this review, but that is only based on my opinion because it is most definitely my fav ever. I absolutely LOVE this movie, and can quote it until I'm blue in the face. Whenever I have a bad day, I know popping in this DVD will just get me ROFL soon enough!

    Joel T. Bruce (Phoenix)
    This is a classic tale of teens and their ambitions to win beauty pageants.. I love the one liners and the campy style.. I recommend to anyone as it can reveal to you the way that you can win a beauty pageant.. good humor, and great fun.. enjoy!!


    5 out of 5 stars If not the funniest movie I've ever seen,..........   July 1, 2008
    Brian Bean (Guerneville, CA)
    .....it's too close to call. Outrageous and hysterical. This movie is not for the self righteous.
