Totally Blonde

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.

Although this movie had it's flaws, "been there - done that" plot, a "very bad" blonde wig, and a direct to video feel....it was kind of charming and funny. It appears to me the movie was used as a launching pad/vehicle for Michael Buble's singing and acting talents.....what an amazing voice. Buble really sounds like Sinatra and belts out some great tunes......check him out on the "Down With Love" soundtrack too. Don't expect too much but all-in-all it was a satisfying flick! My score **

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.

For those who enjoy only the parts of the movie in which Michael Buble sings, there is a DVD out there containing only those scenes. It's called "Totally Buble" and is a companion to a CD of the same name. Both have been denounced by Buble and his management, but IMHO the songs are not as bad as they let on. There are seven songs/scenes on the DVD but they're very short (That's How it Goes, Peroxide Swing, Me & Mrs. You, Love and First Sight, Anyone to Love, Guess I'm Falling For You, Tell Him He's Yours). But if you can find it in a bargain bin for a couple of bucks, as I did, it may be worth picking up. (At such a price I doubt the producers will get any money from it, so you needn't worry about supporting their actions against the artist's own wishes - besides, it's your money.)

BTW, here are Michael's own words concerning the Totally Buble CD and DVD, from his fan site:

"'Totally Buble' is not an album that I wanted to be released. They were songs I recorded for a film called "Totally Blonde" many years ago before I was signed to 143/Reprise Records. The decision to release it as an album was made by the film's producer, and I had no control over stopping him. It is important for everyone to know, that I only want to release quality music to my fans by offering my best work and I sincerely apologize if you purchased this album."

"You've heard from me in the past regarding my thoughts on the "Totally Buble" not being a true representation of what I do. I have now been told of a DVD that is out in the market with the same name and art work. I feel the same way about this DVD. The old expression 'Buyer Beware' has never been more appropriate. Thanks everyone."

This is a cute movie that is a guilty pleasure. good date movie at home. I saw on show time and have tried to find in stores but no luck so far. Story is simplistic but fun. good old big band rat pack music. Sex overtone makes it a no no for kids. dead pan humor and sight gags are good for a laugh or two. under rated movie and under rated talent in this one. the lead babe is worth the watch at lest she is a babe and a half. the movie lags at points and my not have know where it was going at points so i can see why it my not be liked. If you like Elvis movies, beach movies, chick flicks you will like this. about cast these people are tring hard they have talent and need there big brake and some deserve it. excuse spelling thanks for reading eddie dee
