While they're at it, the filmmakers also have a dig at every aspect of mid-western culture, not least, Christian fundamentalists. For one thing, we're God fearin' folk, every last one of us. But what follows is dialogue full of blasphemies, hypocrisy and downright sacrilegiousness. Just about everyone seems to be a member of the Lutheran Sisters Gun Club, and there's a truly shocking scene where Becky Leeman dances with a crucifix for the talent quest. There's Something About Mary but only occasionally elicit a chuckle in Drop Dead Gorgeous.
Audiences seem to enjoy being shocked and they like films which push the boundaries.
But there were plenty of scenes in this film that received groans rather than giggles. See it on video. Just don't eat beforehand.
