Death to the Supermodels (2005 Video) User Reviews

Avoid it at all cost!

[alexander-iv · 1/10 · 1 December 2005]

OK, I never write reviews, this is in fact the first I have written on this site. I just felt compelled to warn people about this heinous abortion of a movie!

When I saw the title I immediately remembered the hilarious and original Drop Dead Gorgeous (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0157503/) and thought that this will be some sort of sequel (less funny like sequels usually are, but watchable). . .

Well, this movie is nothing like Drop Dead Gorgeous, this was one of the most horrible, unfunny and pretentious movies I have ever had the displeasure of seeing! AVOID AT ALL COST!

Wow ... I have never seen such "Funny"

[TraciDagg · 1/10 · 5 December 2005]

I saw this movie last night, my boyfriend thought it would be a fun romp to watch... he was wrong. What I though was funny was the lack of comedic timing, and how long you can keep the bad jokes going... My oh my they just would not let the "jokes" die...

I feel for the others that had to endure this... More than than that, I pity the cast and crew... they had to endure this up close and personal.

I hate to think that the good reviews came only from the minions of the distributors, but after watching this.. what else can I believe. The locations seem beautiful, but we see so little of it, almost as though the director never heard of a wide shot.

Death to the Supermodels is by far the most idiotic, humorless, and unfunny movie I've endured.

Keep sleeping tablets close at hand

[Fullshred · 1/10 · 16 February 2006]

For those people contemplating this abominable title, I have only two pieces of advice.

1. Once you've lost those 90 minutes, you can't ever get them back. 2. The cost of rental will only be the start of your outlays. Therapy will cost a lot, lot more.

This film is terrible on every level.. acting, plot, script, you name it. I generally have pretty good stamina when it comes to bad films, and can quite enjoy them when they're "bad funny" (e.g. naked weapon). Unfortunately, "death to the supermodels" isn't in this category. It's far, far worse. 1 out of 10.

Just how desperate were these people to get work ? *Any* work ...

[kuraikaze · 1 December 2005]

So bad.

So, *so* bad.

It's not even so bad that it's funny. Which is unfortunate because the film seems to think it's a comedy.

I am not normally moved to add IMDb comments but if I can prevent another human from experiencing the pain of sitting through this thing then I shall consider it my good deed for the day.

I'm half tempted to wonder if this was some sort of byzantine tax write off - although I'm loathe to credit the producers with that much intelligence.

It's just silly.

[CMUltra · 5/10 · 8 July 2006]

Death to the Supermodels is an inexpensive production with a sparse script and a questionable plot. And... a nice breezy sense of humor, performers who obviously had a great time making the movie and a generous portion of eye candy.

Light-hearted (How could it possibly take itself seriously?) and fast paced, DttS wades around in the satire pool with opportunities to lampoon models, lesbians, beauty, African-American butts, white butts, European hygiene... and on and on. The movie really just pokes fun at everything that happens to be in front of the camera. It never slows down enough to apply the requisite thought to create true satire. So, it ends up being silly. The only thoughts it will provoke are along the lines of "What's the deal with the spider monkeys?"

That's really the only way to approach this movie. It's not serious and contains no hidden meanings or symbolism. What you see is what you get. For example:

An Asian she-male posing as a female super model who happens to be a descendant of Confucious and a martial arts expert who had her breasts enlarged and now suffers great guilt over what she has done to her "little won-tons" and goes by the name "Hoo Chee" while his/her real name is the much more conceivable "Hung So Lo" meets her death in all-out martial combat with a large lesbian dressed like a ninja.

Now, come on. There's no way to find symbolism in that many layers of goofiness.

Sit back, relax and laugh. That's all this movie is about.

Unfunny Stupid "Comedy"

[claudio_carvalho · 1/10 · 29 September 2013]

I have just lost 84 minutes of my life watching this flick about five supermodels that travel to a desert island with an editor of a fashion magazine and two gay photographers to shoot photos and they are murdered by a mysterious killer.

I wanted to see a comedy to laugh in a raining day in Rio, and I decided to see "Death to the Supermodels" expecting to shutdown my brain and see a comedy in the style of "American Pie". However, "Death to the Supermodels" is an awful unfunny gross comedy that does not make laugh…maybe cry. The serial killer should kill the director, writer and producers of this crap instead of the models. My vote is one (awful).

Title (Brazil): "Verão Americano, É Hora de Detonar" ("American Summer, It is Time to Blow up")

D for disgusting

[switchcaser · 1/10 · 7 August 2006]

Thankfully, I never went so far as to rent this pile of crap. It just happened to be on TV when I was doing something else. At first it seemed like a good idea but it turned out to be what was eventually expected of such an undertaking. Drop dead gorgeous the models are not. They have been made totally and utterly repulsive. Its totally disgusting to watch. From the very start, each and every member of the cast looks totally uninterested in the movie. None of them seem to know what they're doing. There's no story and very little acting too. There may be one or two moments where one could come close to smiling but the repulsive nature of this film is just not worth that. Avoid at all costs.

waste of time

[mail_mavedick · 1/10 · 7 August 2006]

I saw this awful Piece of crap last night and i am still wondering how did i? well 2 tell u guys in short this movie is absolute waste of time and i think i'd do humanity a great favor if i can convey my message to others.

And to be frank with a title like that you might get an outline

DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE

0/10 from my side

but as per IMDb guidelines a humble 1/10 PS: no offense to any one but this movie sucks!!!

GOD bless

The Worst Movie ever made?

[burntgarlic · 1/10 · 20 August 2006]

Perhaps this movie is not as disgustingly harmful as such movies as Larry the Cable guy but it is still a rotten and disgusting piece of cinema that can also do potential harm to the viewer. The tag-line is "drop dead gorgeous" but what you see will be completely the opposite with added disgusting features, which are not funny, simply puke worthy. Don't say I didn't warn you. The morons who made this movie should figure out that the term 'Asexual' means organisms which reproduce without sex and that it has nothing to do with spooning. This just goes to show the intelligence level of the audience that was intended. Besides the harmful factors, there exists no story or anything resembling anything sane or logical in this movie. Avoid this movie. Don't even watch it at gunpoint.

Very very bad

[RaphaelCollin · 1/10 · 25 September 2006]

This film was soooo slow, the jokes were soooo stupid, the gay impersonation was soooo old, the "plot" or "story" was soooo boring, and the supermodels showed virtually no skin.

The first murder is completely unbelievable - the murderer hops magically over his victim - and sets the tone for the rest of the film. As I watched this, I couldn't believe how joke after joke, incident after incident, everything was utterly tninteresting. And the world's longest unfunny fart scene. Since viewer comments on Amazon had induced me to buy this (but even used at $8 this is terribly overpriced), I needed to warn people: no comedy, no mystery, no skin, watching the film is like watching soccer: a chore. (OK, it has Eva Derrek showing underwhelming T&A at the very start of the film, but don't get your hopes up - that's it. It even screws up the eye candy by giving each model an unpleasant visual tic, like thick bushy armpit hair!)

OK, I guess it has competent camera-work. I can't believe anyone could have enjoyed this!

Not going to win any awards, but it was amusing..

[aerius-1 · 3/10 · 4 December 2005]

I think that you need to set proper expectations before viewing this. It stars a bunch of Playboy playmates, so don't expect the best acting, or much of anything else for that matter. The humor is definitely not the most intellectual, but in my opinion it is no worse than say.. Scary Movie or any of those other 'spoof' type of films. I think given the actresses and the context of the film a lot of people write it off immediately, but I merely see it as a low budget version of many other movies that I really don't think is very funny at all. If they deserve a 5 or 6 on this site, this is no worse than a 3.

In the end it probably isn't worth watching unless you have a lot of spare time or is a fan of one of the girls starring in this, but it can provide some decent amusement if your standards aren't too high or if you just like really cheesy humor.

Has to be one of the funniest movies ever!

[hippie_on_strike · 10/10 · 3 July 2008]

Seriously, I believe I'm the only person that enjoys this film. I've probably seen it a hundred times since I bought it. I guess people get mad because this movie isn't politically correct, it isn't intelligent, and it isn't sexy, but it's an awesome way to spend less than 90 minutes. Low budget comedies are usually very unfunny and don't even try. This one makes more than just an effort. The comedy isn't exactly laugh out loud, but I'd rather giggle all the way through a movie (like I did with this) rather than have one good laugh and be bored for the remainder of the film. The acting is okay, not great, but tolerable. The plot is pretty much just as you could imagine from the title. It's silly, trashy, and rewatchable. Try it and see.

Benny Hill's spirit lives on!

[poustinik · 7/10 · 2 June 2006]

This movie is a classic low farce ... which is becoming a lost art in this age of political correctness. I thought this art had died with Benny Hill, the British cult comedian; thankfully, Jaime Pressly had the "ovarios" (=female "cojones")to have a stab at it.

The editor of a struggling fashion magazine hires a ditzy consultant (Pressly) to stage a tropical "shoot" with the world's top five supermodels. What no one knows is ... the "shoot" is going to be just that, with results reminiscent of "Airplane!" and Monty Python.

Everyone in the cast clearly had fun making it; it features egotistical, mentally unstable models, hilariously "asexual" photographers, and crusading lesbians. It lampoons the fashion/publishing world with the sort of crude humour that everyone (except the completely brainwashed) indulges in secretly these days, and along the way takes pot shots at everything from rap music to self-help culture to neo-naziism, not forgetting at least one sitting US Senator. Anyone who doesn't find any laughs here needs to be condemned to eternity with Garrison Keillor, Rosie O'Donnell, and Al Franken.

For those of you wondering what the bit players do.....

[purple-sizzzzzzzurp · 2/10 · 7 May 2006]

I can't even explain how angry I was while watching this movie. I had been drinking which probably made it more tolerable. The ending seems to take 20 minutes. I even fell asleep at the very end and time still could not pass fast enough. 84 minutes is normally tolerable for a comedy but not this one. Death by fart and having a penis were not as entertaining as one might think (imagine that). Thank goodness someone got iced believably by the end. I have a hard time imagining that everyone could hear Wee-man speaking over a loudspeaker....yet all the characters sent to slaughter were in on the plan to convince the lead character she was crazy and killing all the models........odd. While looking at the box at the video store, I thought it could be good. After realizing that the bit players from Shallow Hal, Girl Next Door, Bio-Dome, and Fast Times at Ridgemont High couldn't even carry the weight of supporting roles on their shoulders, I apologize to my friend that I made sit through this movie.

Not enough beer in the keg

[bigsoniscool · 2 December 2005]

This movie is NOT funny. After reading some of the reviews I decided to watch this movie drunk thinking that it could seriously amuse me. There is not enough beer in the keg to make this movie funny. Jaime Pressly produced this movie which means she went around raising the money to get this made...she must be stupider than she looks. Considering shes made Poison Ivy 3, Torque and Ringmaster, she must also be desperate to get work which is too bad because unlike Jenny McCarthy, Jaime Pressly can act. I would rather watch a soccer game than watch this and I hate soccer more than getting hernia exams. Save your $5.00 and buy a 12 pack of Natural Light instead...thank me later.

what the ....

[blay_car · 1/10 · 22 May 2006]

I just have to comment this movie because it has so little comments.And to warn people about good comments about this movie on the site.

It is obviously they are fake because they comment just this movie..Someone is

playing dirty(apologize if I mistaken,see it for yourself)..so don't be mislead....the movie sucks(can i use this word)...so boring ahhh..i was watching it at home ..and tried to kill myself.

...actually i don't even remember the film very well....what a pity...

still wanna see it,it has some bright sights...good picture..hot ladies... in times could be funny...i guess...

Very painful

[pittston6 · 1/10 · 2 June 2007]

I generally find some good in most films, but this one would be a real stretch. I think it is more the characters than anything else that are annoying. Some of the accents are pretty hard to take. It would have been better if they had all died in a plane crash on the way to the island.

The most annoying, from my standpoint, would be the two photographers. They are just too too hard to take. These two clowns are introduced early working in a studio with a French model. The scene does not make sense, the accents are hard to understand, but the saving grace is getting to watch Eva Derreck stand there in front of them completely nude.

In addition much of the humor is lame and crude, particularly the "booty" scene.

disturbing

[laura_675 · 3/10 · 22 February 2009]

Me and my fiend Jess decided to watch this at a sleepover, bear in mind now that at the time we were about 12. Well, we found it sick, crude and downright disturbing. At no point in the film was it ever funny.

Albeit, I do have a weakness for rubbish films, I like watching them just for laughing at how bad they are. But this was just twisted, disturbing, really, really unfunny.

I'm not sure which was worse, the scenes between the gay photographer and his mute partner (I hasten to add at this point that it wasn't the relationship itself I found disturbing, but the explicit sex scenes), the European supermodel with long armpit hair, besides being unbelievably racist, there was a scene involving licking which was horrendous, or the sickeningly unfunny farting to death and corpse scenes.

If you were mistaken by the title, like me, that this was a witty satire into the world of supermodels and worth a watch, take my advise: put the DVD down and walk quickly away. You'll thank me later.

not great,but watchable if you have lots of time,light-hearted...

[supernova_alone · 5/10 · 5 December 2005]

I just needed to kill some time, so I watched this movie even though it had poor reviews.Well,it wasn't funny, but it was 'light' and easy to watch,I wasn't bored with it, as it had enough content for me to feel occupied...Nice bodies,nice scenery, flat jokes,but not too flat...Not worse than American Pie, but much more decent.Actually,it was kinda kid's stuff,because the plot was just too simple,and I think that is why the movie was watchable,-because it was like a cartoon.And also it was quite innocent regarding sex,there was some references and some erotica,but it was not explicit at all.Oh,well,I forgot,-there was one stupid lesbian kiss between a model and an old fat lady,but maybe you'll like it...

Yes, we shoot the he-she corpse.

[lastliberal · 3/10 · 7 June 2007]

All I have to say is that Joel Silverman must have really been hurting for cash to have his name listed as the writer and director of this film. I am sure that he will feel the shame for years and I cannot imagine anyone giving him a real directing job with this on his resume.

I guess that I shouldn't be surprised that Jaime Pressly thought this was worth making as we do tend to buy the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition and watch the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, so we must be enchanted with supermodels. Well, watch this film and you will be cured forever of that enchantment.

Remember Brooke Burns from "Dog Eat Dog"? She plays Eva, a German supermodel who hasn't bathed in six weeks and has underarm hair longer that the hair on my head. EWWWW! I just can't talk any more about this crap.

Yawn...

[Enchorde · 3/10 · 11 May 2008]

Recap: Tiffany, a perky (which she won't admit) editor at the magazine Merle has an idea to bring the top five supermodels to an exclusive and remote island for a spectacular photo shoot.

But when the eccentric and quite annoying supermodels are brought together everything starts to fall apart. First it seems normal, models not eating, not talking to anyone, and putting up ridiculous demands. But when they start to die it really quickly develops to a disaster.

Comments: I must admit. The title intrigued me. Sure, I could guess that this was a bad movie. But I had to verify that, it could have been one of those rare gems. But the verdict is clear, bad and boring. About at the same time the photo shoot in the movie starts to fall apart, so does the movie. And it never recovers. Actually, there were some moments where it was a little funny. Had they taken the movie in a new direction from one of those moments, it might have been saved. Instead it got worse, all the time.

The plot was as shallow as a stereotype supermodel and not much extra effort was put in any other areas. Not too much to tell about the acting because the script was really bad. For example, how you turn dying by farting into something other than total failure I can't imagine. If you can pull that off you deserve an Oscar, and deserve not to be in this movie. How you can put that in your script and believe that your movie is any good is beyond me.

A good idea that turned out really, really bad.

3/10

Mildy entertaining

[semick · 5/10 · 9 December 2005]

I watched this movie at work and got some laughs. Maybe if I had a few drinks it would be funnier. The best thing about this movie are the two "asexual" guys's (Gunther and Gerd) running commentary and Eva's character. These three pretty much make the movie. They could have made a movie "2 asexuals and Eva" and it would have been more successful! Jaime Pressly's character could do a lot more. She talks to herself and attempts to entertain her supermodel guests with horrible singing and acting skill. She did a lot better job in Not another Teen Movie. I guess if you can see it for free like I did and have nothing better to do, it is worthwhile for a couple of laughs...

fun in the sun.

[luther11 · 10/10 · 29 November 2005]

I rented this movie today. It was hilarious. My father laughed so hard he had tears in his eyes. We will watch it again tomorrow before we return it. The deaf mute had great expressions and his partner was funny as well,reading his mind. Jaime Pressly looked good but I would have liked to have seen her in a bikini more. Brook Burns looks good even with hair under her arms,reminds me of my x-wife only good looking.I think the teen boys will love this movie most of all.The girls will like it because it makes a joke about models. Best of all is the entertainment value.I didn't know some of the actors but I did notice Wee Man from the Jack-Ass movie.Diane Delano was great as the (Rosie O'Donnell character).

It's a movie not a film school project.

[taxidave-1 · 6/10 · 24 June 2007]

The movie was funny. I swear some of these comments are from people who just don't have a sense of humor. Or they are too intellectual for their own good. There are a lot of people in this world and have different tastes in movies. Some people like movies that don't make them think too much and you can just laugh at the over the top performances. Take it for what it is, one big joke. It wasn't meant as an Oscar winner, just another DVD to be rented or bought. If you like movies where they don't take themselves too seriously, watch this movie. I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to just sit back and be entertained. No thinking required. No message. Just watch it and don't try to analyze the movie. You might actually have fun.

how do these things exist???

[Siloty · 1/10 · 9 June 2008]

hired this movie with a bunch of mates for an all night movie night. more of a what the hell why not kind of decision was made when we hired this.

people AVOID this at all costs. it is terrible, unfunny, disturbing (just at how bad it is) and you can't even watch this for brain dead entertainment.

this movie is horrible and should not torture anymore people. so please, hear me out, take my advice and do not watch this piece of trash.

(now just writing to make the 10 lines)
