It was so bad I couldn't stop watching, 13 November 2003
Author: omnipresent from England

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.

Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!!!, 27 February 1999

Author: Saayman

Crowned and Dangerous is a smart and clever little thriller comedy about the rivalry between two lovely small town beauty queens Danielle Stevens (Yasmine Bleeth) is jealous of Shauna Langley (Cassidy Rae), because Shauna always wins the beauty contests, while Danielle is runner-up. But now someone is trying to kill Shauna, and a lot of suspects arise. First, there's Danielle's mom (Jill Clayburgh), who is kind of domineering. Then there's Shauna's ex-boyfriend (who's currently seeing Danielle), and his stepmom, who he refers to as "stepmonster". And the final suspect is, of course, Danielle.

This is a great movie, with a stunning cast, especially Yasmine Bleeth and Cassidy Rae. Rae's stalking scenes are suspenseful, and yet funny, too. The supporting cast is good, and the pageant scenes will appeal to avid lovers of beauty contests. This film poses a good question towards the rivalry between girls in beauty pageants. The film clearly states that this is fiction, but it is possible for something like this to happen. All and all, a good movie, which also boasts some excellent songs, including "Today was no ordinary day"

My rating: 10/10

A mediocre movie with an atrocious ending, 3 June 2007

Author: Eli_G_Meyer from United States

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.

it was good, 14 October 2005

Author: chakotay24 from United States

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.

Lives up to it's title, 11 October 2006

Author: bps62 from United States

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.

An Awesome Movie, 9 September 2003
Author: Deva (brianfan_1_4@yahoo.com) from Bakersfield, CA

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"

Another Texas Cheerleader, 26 August 2002
Author: gatebanger from Connecticut

A `Wacky Chick' flick. A beauty contestant winds up dead and the Usual Suspects are rounded up. Another entry in the vein of the Texas Cheerleader, this is an average example of its type.

Yasmine Bleeth turns in her usual wholesome girl performance, and Jill Clayburgh does a good job as her stressed-out slightly obsessed mom.

Some mildly funny moments listening to the vapid self-serving PR coming out of contestants' mouths. (`I'd like to own a restaurant so I can give left-over food to the homeless.')

You have to ask yourself what people are using for brains when they think a cheerleader spot or beauty crown is worth killing for!

Yasmine Bleeth at her wild and voluptuous best., 8 June 2001

Author: Brian-272 from Oakwood, Virginia USA

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.

Watch "Drop Dead Gorgeous" instead., 16 October 2000

Author: MemoX33RTY from Bromsgrove, England

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

*****Spoiler Ahead*****

I suppose that you shouldn't expect much of a made for TV movie, but this one was especially bad, the plot was a good idea, but badly done, the acting wasn't especially good. And the ending of the film was just terrible. The main character was perfectly normal all the way through the film, and then suddenly when we find out that she was the killer she just turns into a mentally challenged psychopath. It's completely pathetic.

There is only one reason really to watch this film, Yasmin Bleeth, although haven't we all seen her in a swimsuit before ? Don't bother even watching this waste of time, if you want a film about the world of beauty contest then watch "Drop Dead Gorgeous" instead, it's only an infinite number of times better.

Oh wow... horrible..., 30 August 2002
Author: neptuneblt from USA

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.
