The battle between the good and the bad is bound to get ugly. Drop Dead Gorgeous is a mockumentary about a vicious competition between two contestants in a rural Minnesota beauty pageant. While the two girls prepare for the contest, their mothers (an overbearing hairdresser and a civic-minded matriarch) decide they will stop at nothing to help each one's respective child win the contest.

Critics Consensus: It's dark humor sometimes hits, but mostly misses the target.

Acerbic and hilariously un-PC, Drop Dead Gorgeous stands the test of time as one of the best comedies ever made.

Joe Lipsett

This cult classic is horribly offensive and devastatingly funny. Featuring a stacked cast of powerful female performers and a razor sharp screenplay, Drop Dead Gorgeous is a misunderstood classic that we will never see the likes of again.

While funny at times, it doesn't resonate beyond the gleeful, acidic surface

Chase Burns

The film's jokes progressively rely on a tension between tragedy and optimism.
