Editorial Review:
They're hot. They're stupid. And they're about to get killed. This sexy comedy starring Brooke Burns and Jaime Pressly finds the world's hottest, most eccentric supermodels gathered on a deserted island for the swimsuit photo shoot from hell. Germany's über-babe, Eva (Burns), joins a delegation of the world's greatest beauties to a remote tropical island, but things start heating up when they mysteriously get killed off, one by one, in this hilarious satirical comedy.
Death to the Supermodels Reviews:
Don't bother seeing this movie. 
2009-10-26 - The two photographer characters were entertaining. But that's no reason to spend any money, or allocate any time, to view this. No point in writing more. This movie is not deserving of any further comment.
This Silly Spoof Will Make You Laugh 
2008-10-06 - Before I begin my review, let me inform you about the DVD presentation. Audio and video are excellent; there are English subtitles for those of us, including myself, who are hearing impaired. It has a widescreen presentation with an aspect ratio of 1.85:1. There is a montage of deleted scenes; an interview with P -one of the supermodels; and a host of trailers. Strangely enough, I didn't see a trailer for "Death to the Supermodels." Now for my review:
During the eighties, there were numerous movies involving psychopaths murdering models, strippers, and ex-prostitutes, i.e., women, and men, who were gorgeous. (One of the more famous ones is "Calendar Girl Murders" starring a young Sharon Stone.) "Death to the Supermodels" is a silly spoof of such movies. Though not as hilarious as the "Scary Movie" franchise, it will make you laugh and provide a diversion from your worries.
The following tagline on the back cover of the DVD jacket grabbed my attention while summing up the film's simple plot: "They're hot. They're stupid. And they're about to get killed." Five of the world's greatest supermodels are lured to a secluded island for a photo shoot that will change the image of Merle Magazine. Each one represents the stereotypical model. Yo - the funniest of the models - is a black ghetto chic with a steroid pumped derriere who starred in a gangsta rap music video; P is a pouting Hispanic girl who only eats on Thursdays and takes bipolar medication; Hoo Chi is a beautiful Asian who breaks boards with her hands and seeks forgiveness from her deceased grandfather for having breast implants; Darbie is a mannequin-like model who never speaks and barely moves; and Eva is the beautiful German who never bathes or shaves her armpits (pittsies), wears a studded dog collar, and keeps insisting she is the number-one-ranked supermodel. Tiffany Courtney (Jaime Pressly of "Poison Ivy - The New Seduction") is the perky assistant who has organized the weekend photo shoot; she is constantly hearing the disembodied voice of her self-help guru Ryan Reginald telling her she is a serial killer who is jealous of the supermodels.
One by one, these silly, self-centered supermodels are killed by an intruder wearing a black ninja outfit. I was hoping the effeminate, asexual photographers would be the first to die because they became tiresome and nauseating very fast. Their constant bickering over spooning grated on my nerves. More time should have been spent on the models, some of whom were very hilarious.
"Death to the Supermodels" was filmed in gorgeous Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica, which is rich with Spider Monkeys. It provided the perfect backdrop for this spoof. I wish I could travel there for vacation.
"Death to the Supermodels" is recommended for those who love silly movie spoofs such as the "Scary Movie" series, the "Airplane" series, "Date Movie," "Epic Movie," etc. Unless you can find it at a reasonable price, I recommend renting this movie before purchasing because everyone's tastes in humor are different.
Death to This Movie
2007-05-08 - I decided, even after reading many of the negative reviews, to give this movie a chance. I thought that with Jaime Pressly in it, it couldn't be too bad? Man, I was wrong. The movie was just dumb. I actually prefer the off the wall type comedies, that most reviewers don't like. But this was just out there. I never really laughed, except at myself for actually spending $5 to buy the movie. It was a horrible movie, with an even worse ending. I wouldn't even spend the money to rent this crapfest. I would've given it 0 stars if I could've...
Death of The Super Models - Near Death Experience 
2007-04-11 - When I watched this Movie I was thinking I was going to see totally hot Babe Supermodels. The Hotest Girl there was jamie Pressly! The story is Jamies Character gets a Chance to make her big break with the photo shoot of her life if she can get them all to agree to go on to the Island. It takes its pot shoots at the modelling world with regards to diet and pills as all these movies do. These can be the high point. The photgraphers are to gays one who is constantly jealous of the other talking to any one else. These are also a funny pair at time. This is not something you run to the video store to get. It's more like the free one you can choose when you rent the new release. Jamie Pressly is the best the way she tries to keep it all together.
Not great....could have been way funnier
2007-01-09 - This is a comedy about a group of supermodels doing a photo shoot on an island and someone starts killing them off one by one. The biggest suspect is the wannabe ex-model who is coordinating the shoot (Jamie Pressly) and has a voice in her head which talks to her. I thought the concept of the movie was funny. Who doesn't want to see a bunch of dumb, stuck-up supermodels get whacked? Other than a few laughs, the movie falls flat and resorts to fart jokes and stereotypes. It's dumb humor along the lines of 'Scary Movie' or 'Date Movie' but somehow it just doesn't have the same charm as those movies. The ending also, I found unsatisfying and it didn't make as strong of a statement as the rest of the movie. A different ending would have made it a much better movie in my opinion. The only reason I gave it three stars instead of two was because I like Jaime Pressly. Jaime is a great and very versitile actress (see Poison Ivy 3, she plays a wicked sexy psyco chick) and I think she was the one factor that made this movie watchable. She played the role of the 'perky' former model very well and I'd like to see her in more movies. Personally, I think Jaime was the hottest woman in the movie. On the upside, it's got a lot of sexy ladies in bikinis to appeal to men and women will certainly appriciate seeing a bunch of vain, shallow models get killed off. Overall, this movie was not horrid, there are just way funnier comedies out there and I reccomend watching it on cable or renting it before you buy. I might watch it again but I would not pay for it!
