Crowned and Dangerous

I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be serious or not - it was too bad to be serious and not amusing enough to be funny - but I still sat down one Saturday afternoon and watched it. The worst part of all is if it came on telly again I would probably watch it.

This movie started out cringe-worthy--but it was meant to, with an overbearing mother, a witch of a rival, and a hesitant beauty queen constantly coming in second. There was some goofy overacting, and a few implausible plot points (She comes in second in EVERY single competition? ALL of them?) Unfortunately, the movie suffers horribly from it's need to, well, be a TV movie. Rather than end at the ending of the movie, an amusing twist in which the killer is (semi-plausibly) revealed, the movie continues for another twenty minutes, just to make sure that justice is done. Of course, now that the killer is revealed, she suddenly undergoes a complete personality shift--her character gets completely rewritten, because the writers don't need to keep her identity secret any more. The cheese completely sinks what otherwise could have been a passably amusing movie.

This movie was really good. Yasmine Bleeth played a beauty pagent contestant who always came 2nd to another contestant. Suddenly, things start to happen to the other contestant that makes Danielle( Yasmine Bleeth) become the 1st place winner, since she was 1st runner up. Then something permanent happens to the other contestent, leaving Danielle as the main suspect, along with a jealous mother and her ex-boyfriend, who was the father of her unborn child. If you want to know what happened in this movie, please watch it. It is a very good movie, i give Yasmine 10 stars for looking gorgeous in the movie. The movie is worthy of praise and gives new meaning to the words "Beauty Pagent"

I was shocked to see Gates Mcfadden in this movie because we have all loved her as Dr. Beverly Crusher on Star Trek TNG and the following movies. I liked the main cast and how the story kept you guessing until the last minute.I also liked this movie because the plot wasn't dull and didn't repeat itself like other movies sometimes do. I would see that movie again and even buy it. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes drama and mystery. If you liked TV shows like The OC, Lost or Alias, you will like this movie. I am not saying that this is my favorite movie because I can think out a few that are better, but not many.

THIS MOVIE WAS FANTASTIC. JUST SAW IT TONIGHT ON CABLE. I have one question though.....When they go to talk with the murderer, she said "when will I get my mothers neckless" the detectives left and said they did not tell her about the neckless.......Now, I remember when the mother was being interrogated and the detectives asked her specifically about that necklas, and the mother said she did not know how it got there. My question is this.......Would it not make sense that while the daughter was in the interogation room with her mother, that the mother could have told her that the necklas was part of the evidence? I mean how do the detectives know that the mother did not tell her??????? Kind of a small glitch in that the convicting evidence on the daughter was portrayed to me as sloppy police work and in the real world a real detective would not have assumed that the mother did not mention this to the daughter........but all in all I absolutely "LOVED" the film. 100 stars in my book!!!!!!
