Drop Dead Gorgeous explores the dark, conniving, and at times lethal underbelly of the beauty pageant world. The moral anchor of the 1999 mockumentary is Amber Atkins (Kirsten Dunst), a tap dancer from a trailer park who must duke it out against psychotically competitive contestants. With scene-stealing performances from Allison Janney, Kirstie Alley, and Amy Dams, this one offers up so many laughs . . . promptly followed by some serious plot twists.
