Charmingly hilarious!

There are laughs: the leering judges, especially, who don't know much when it comes to talent but are impressed with nubile young girls flexing their limbs.

Humorously effective!

Williams, however, thinks we should be tickled just by the mere mention of cow-tipping, lutefisk and Melissa Manchester. ... Poor people living in trailer parks and wearing polyester -- pretty witty stuff, this.

Fitfully amusing!

Too caustic to be as funny as it easily should be with this scenario and in some cases these exact lines of dialogue.

Viciously funny!

Although the satire is biting and the tone is irreverent, Drop Dead Gorgeous lacks the killer script and top notch performances necessary to make this a wholly successful production.

The spicy, fast-paced script is salt-and-peppered with zany zingers.

Gorgeous is one of the year's funniest acts of malice!
January 01, 2000
Beneath its mean-spiritedness is a sharp-clawed wit.

Allison Janney is tacky incarnate as Barkin's good-time gal pal.
