Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999)

American comedies tend to be ... well, not so funny. Drop Dead Gorgeous has its moments. What it does best is to portray teen culture in a very cruel setting, without sugarcoating the cruelness. Yes, femininity is something to die for... Or, something to kill for. Usually, American movies made between 1995-2010 nurse gender roles from the McCarthy era. In that respect, this film is different. It has a clear feminist agenda.
