Drop Dead Gorgeous
As reviewed by Miguel Copenhagen Kesey
Oooh...wasn't this the name of a song by Republica? That's right, that really crap band who were a cross between Echo And The Bunnymen and red streaks...an Al of the Bum variety which Fitzy's uncle gave him, and he proceeded to sell in Record Fayre for about £2...
But, that's not really the point, is it? I'm talking about the film "Drop Dead Gorgeous", which is nowhere near as good as "Drop Dead Fred", which is another film with "Drop Dead" in the title. "Drop Dead Fred" starred Phoebe Cates of Gremlins fame and Rik Mayall of quadbike crash fame...great movie...I suggest you see it.
"Drop Dead Gorgeous" on the other hand, is relatively shite. It's got Kirstie Alley of "Cheers" and "Look Who's Talking" fame, (and don't forget she was in "Deadly Pursuit" with a fat old Sidney Poitier...however, that's one of my favourite movies of all time...) and a lot of other people I can't remember because I saw this film ages ago.
I do remember however that it seemed to be a hit and miss comedy...most of the jokes were complete misses...but there were a few jokes I found funny, yet no-one else did...
Lines like "Shut up, you stupid little retard" made me go : "Haw haw..." but the whole general idea is crap...it's about beauty pageants...and it's quite boring. Kirstie Alley kills people, which is nice...and it's shot like a documentary...It's not worth £3.25, no way, man, that's even with the student discount...don't go and see this film.
Buy "Drop Dead Fred" instead...you can get it for about £4.99 these days...
