Beauté criminelle

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 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.

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!!!!!!

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.

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.
