Total blond

OK, so this comment may be a bit biased because I am a huge Michael Bublé fan, who has even paid the whole 30 dollars to join his official fan club. A few fellow fans told me that the movie wasn't that great, and a few told me that it totally sucked. So when I bought the movie on ebay for 1.99, I had no expectations.I was pretty surprised that it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The lead actress wasn't that great, and so was a few other actors, but Michael made this movie come to life. His singing, and his acting. I mean, he wasn't no academy award winning actor in this movie, but he has the potential to do some great movies if he wanted to. Oh, and buy his new CD, "Call Me Iresponsible." The Album is amazing.

I thought that this flick was pretty funny, although it was filled to the brim with all kinds of jokes about blondes. I honestly think that Krista Allen is gorgeous with blonde hair, and I'll say that one of the funniest parts of the whole movie was the beginning (the Blonde school). I thought that Charlene Tilton's brief scene in the movie was really funny, especially when she got to the part about "Y'all go ahead and be dumb!" and so on. What really cracked me up about Charlene is her doing a Southern accent (I must add that she's really good at it because many women I've met here in the South talk very much like that, but I've met a few who talk rather differently). However, it seems that the rest of the movie went downhill after the first part. I think it's really sad when a movie's first part is funnier than the rest of it because it makes a person feel like he/she has wasted the rest of the time that the movie lasts. All in all, it's a rather amusing movie if blonde jokes and parody flicks are your thing.

The title of this film might not seem appropriate after you watch the movie in it's entirety. Meg Peters dyes her hair blonde within the opening credits, and she never looks back. Only a few comments in the beginning are made about her change of look. After that, it doesn't really affect her as a person or in her relationships. She never wonders if the men she meets are only after her for the stereotypical image of a blonde bombshell. In fact, in the last scene, when her hair is back to her natural color, the guy she is with (I don't want to give it away) doesn't say anything about it at all. He never even noticed her look; it was the cheesy Hollywood romance of her physical appearance may have caught his eye in the beginning, but he loved her for who she was inside. Other than that, the film was a throw-back to the 1950s style - swing dancing and an attempt at physical comedy. Krista Allen doesn't match Lucille Ball in that respect, but she gives it her all and delivers a performance that is just exaggerated enough to make you laugh but groan with the thought of "what if there really are people this ditzy in the world?" at the same time. Her chemistry with her costars is great- she and Maeve Quinlan appear close, just like best friends. Michael Buble was a surprising talent. I was impressed at how well he could sing, and Brody Hutzler was the typical surfer dude- pretty to look at and that's about it. Colin Mochrie's cameos were great, but I think the best one was the one that was left from the movie and just shown during credits as a blooper. The film was beautifully shot, with only one continuity error and a few instances of an oddly large amount of headroom (nothing that keeps from enjoying the piece). Andrew Van Slee is a very talented guy, who seems to me to be a newcomer, but after this he's sure to go far. Plus it was nice to see Krista in a starring role. It's definitely a better film than Legally Blonde!

I'm almost embarrassed to be writing a review of this film. It features B-movie/soft-core porn star Krista Allen in a farcical attempt at romantic comedy. The only highlight is the Sinatra-like singing of Michael Bublé, the male lead. His acting is very bad, but his singing is good. The acting of Allen is painful to watch, and I continually felt pity for her. The other characters don't do any better.

The script is atrocious, the interior sets look over-lit and low budget (especially the club), the photography is mediocre, the narrative flow is ridiculously compressed, there's no building on the theme of a woman changing her appearance to exploit a male preference (in fact, almost no comment on it at all), and Allen's character's behavior is so completely juvenile and immature that she becomes an obnoxious stereotype of the oblivious woman. This display erased any sympathy I might have otherwise felt for the character. Obvious attempts at humor were almost universally unfunny, and the soundtrack in many cases unsuccessfully tried to be jazzy (aside from Bublé's songs). The trite message of "Follow your heart" as the core of the film's plot had me rolling my eyes on multiple occasions.

I am convinced that Andrew Van Slee lacks any real talent whatsoever (how many readers are saying "Duh!"?), having now seen three of his films (I won't bother with any more of them). There are so many truly great romantic comedies available that no time at all should be wasted on this one (instead, run right out and rent "It Happened One Night").

Alright, the only reason I watched this was Krista Allen otherwise I was expecting a horrible movie and it was pretty bad. Allen looks hot but I prefer her non-blonde look and her dress sense in 'Totally Blonde' was awful. I'll start with the good points of the movie. It features some very nice solo numbers by Michael Bublé. The chemistry between Bublé and Allen isn't lacking either. For a débutant, Bublé is okay but at times he's a bit too weepy. Krita Allen grossly overacts with the exception of a very few scenes and sadly, she doesn't go nude in this one. Maeve Quinlan is decent and the rest of the cast is unbearable. The atrocious writing is extremely shoddy and even amateurs can do a better job. I hope the director has now chosen a different career path more suitable for him because film-making is not for him. He should be banned. This is one hell of a crappy movie with only one or two good points. If you want to watch Krista's beauty, go get her Emmanuelle series but if you want to see her act, then try to catch the last several episodes of 'What About Brian'. For Michael Bublé's singing, his CDs are available. Avoid this junk.
