Drop
Dead Gorgeous is a
mockumentary about a
model named Cynthia
(Ivy Levan) who has
just been signed to a
massive contract.
While on a shoot, she
dies and all involved
begin to panic. Not
about someone dying
but about what are
they going to do with
the campaign. So,
those involved
including the shoot -
the designer, her
agent, the
photographers, various
hangers-on and the
documentary crew
following Cynthia -
hatch a plan to
continue to use her in
the campaign, even
though she's dead.
They only need her
mother's permission
and that's the easy
part. The hard part is
keeping her fresh so
that the campaign can
be completed. And you
never know, it might
just work.
Pretty
much Weekend at
Bernie's set in the
modelling world, but
with even less ethics
(it is the modelling
industry after all), I
really don't know
about this film. It
isn't really all that
funny and everyone is
so utterly repulsive
that it's hard to get
into. I think this
film lost me when two
women make out pretty
much over the freshly
dead body and I sailed
through the rest of
the film not really
giving a shit. I tried
is the best I can
say..
