In a small Minnesota town, the annual beauty pageant is being covered by a TV crew. Former winner Gladys Leeman wants to make sure her daughter follows in her footsteps; explosions, falling lights, and trailer fires prove that. As the Leemans are the richest family in town, the police are pretty relaxed about it all. Despite everything, main rival (but sweet) Amber Atkins won't give up without a fight.

I was expecting a chick-flick but boy was i wrong, i brilliant dark comedy and satire of the beauty pageants.

With a wry sense of humor, _Drop Dead Gorgeous_ delivers an edgy comedy about pageantry. In the film a documentary crew follows the contestants of the Sarah Rose Princess America Pageant in the small town of Mount Rose, but when a series of mysterious accidents start to eliminate the contestants foul play is suspected. The cast is pretty good and includes Kirsten Dunst, Brittany Murphy, Denise Richards, and Kirstie Alley, who all give solid performances. However, the tone of the film is inconsistent, and there are a ton of plot holes. The satire’s pretty clever, but it’s often undercut by the broad comedy. _Drop Dead Gorgeous_ is an entertaining romp, but its story is poorly told.

I'm not American, so everything I know about beauty pageants is from movies, and wow, that's looks like hell

[8.4/10] The central conceit that makes *Drop Dead Gorgeous* work is its subversion of the supposed wholesomeness of small town life. Rather than the fictional Mount Rose, Minnesota being a pure and innocent place, where decent people live well and quite differently from those heartless urbanites in More
