This clip, a trailer for the 1999 film "Drop Dead Gorgeous," is one of the clearest examples of media representation of Minnesota, so much so that a great deal of analysis is unnecessary. This portrait of Minnesota is that it is full of beauty-pageant and football-obsessed small towns like Mount Rose that children desperately want to escape from. This attitude is tied to the Minnesotan accent, so I wonder how likely it is that fans of this movie associate the Minnesotan accent with small town shallowness.
I think the shallowness was on the part of the producers and director...
