Nobody talks about Drop Dead Gorgeous

This is one of the greatest movies ever made. I first watched it as a child when I was home sick with the flu. For years I thought I had dreamed it. Fortunately our lives have been blessed with this work of art, and I am here to encourage you to give it a chance.Drop Dead Gorgeous came out in 1999 and started Kirsten Dunst, Kirstie Alley, Denise Richards, Britney Murphy, Amy Adams, and Allison Janey. It follows a small-town Minnesotan beauty pageant whose contestants are being killed off one-by-one. It’s a Mockumentary black comedy, and is firmly grounded in late 90s culture.For me, the movie almost seems to play out like a Kurt Vonnegut novel. It follows an interesting and well-intentioned protagonist who rises to the top seemingly by coincidence, even though the odds are constantly stacked against her. The movie follows people who scheme, cheat, and even murder in order to achieve the smallest amount of fame. It perfectly encapsulates all of the negative qualities of small towns, especially those in religious areas.It’s also just a fucking hilarious movie. The amount of tiny details is honestly amazing and makes for very enjoyable rewatches. I just finished watching it for the fifth time last night. It’s amazing how everyone feels genuinely into their roles. To this day the film contains my favorite performances of both Kirstie Alley and Denise Richards.I am a poor writer, and I don’t feel like I would do the comedic aspects of this film any justice by trying to describe them. Instead, here’s a link to one of my favorite scenes - Rebecca’s Talenthttps://youtu.be/kBKQL6f5sec via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2rKjVKJ
