This January, HOLD UP is getting Minnesota nice with the outlandishly campy, devastatingly funny mockumentary DROP DEAD GORGEOUS (1999)

Exposing the darker side of teen beauty pageants, DROP DEAD GORGEOUS follows rival contenders Amber Atkins (Kirsten Dunst) and Becky Leeman (Denise Richards) as they strive to win a wildly competitive, and increasingly chaotic, small-town pageant. An absurdly dark comedy full of biting social commentary, DROP DEAD GORGEOUS remains an under-appreciated cult classic and turn-of-the-century gem.

Directed by mockumentary royalty Michael Patrick Jann (Reno 911, Let's Go To Prison), with a stacked cast of 90s icons (Kirsten Dunst, Denise Richards, Kirstie Alley, Ellen Barkin, Brittany Murphy), DROP DEAD GORGEOUS is a teen comedy to die for. (ALICE ROSE)
