Review of Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999) by Dylan111 — 18 Aug 2014
I didn't see this when it was released, but it's now on Starz, and all I can say is it is very funny--with some terrific comic performances by a raft of very talented actresses. I really don't get all the negative reviews here, which I find puzzling. The script is very sharply written in the mockumentary style, and while its not perfect, it does deftly skewer small-town life and the value we place on beauty competitions. But it also has warmth along with its wit. Hey, it's fun to watch and will make you laugh; Allison Janney and Ellen Barkin are a riot together.
Just start watching. You'll get hooked like I was.
I wonder if it came out today that might get better reviews.
