Crowned and Dangerous

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.

I remember this ABC 1997 TV movie which has Baywatch babe Yasmine Bleeth star as a beauty queen, who will do anything to win a pageant starting with a love affair a lasting dislike and even murder to kill a rival beauty contestant. This movie took an issue that very well could happen sure people would plot and scheme in order to have who they want to win a beauty pageant. Crowned and Dangerous is really made to watch to spotlight Yasmine Bleeth she is at her sexy best. I remember that seduction scene in which Yasmine shows just a little part of her bra when she unbuttons her clothing and you can see the front of the pink bra she is wearing! Oh man now that is something to make any man shout! Great performance by Bleeth watch this if you haven't maybe some network like Lifetime will rerun it, this is Yasmine Bleeth at her best.

Primary plot!Primary direction!Poor interpretation.

This pageant movie definitely lives up to it's title. It is one of the premiere of campy and catty pageant movies.....and a whole lot of fun too!! It definitely is successful in it's pursuit as the tongue in cheek/drama that it is attempting to be. Yasmine Bleeth and Cassidy Rae play their roles to the hilt as catty, feuding pageant contestants. Jill Clayburg is also great as Yasmine's nutty pageant stage mother. George Eads from the TV show CSI plays the man they are feuding over. I enjoyed this film much more than a similar film entitled Beauty's Revenge which stars Cortney Thorne-Smith. With the silly Dairy Queen premise Beauty's Revenge left me "udderly" bored.

So I found myself home watching Unsolved Mysteries this morning, vegetating on the couch, and this movie comes on afterward. It as terrible!

I mean... my God. Completely awful.

If you want a funny beauty pageant movie, check out Drop Dead Gorgeous, not this second rate mediocre rip off.
