Pamela: A Love Story

I'm not a fan of Pamela or Tommy. In fact, I pretty much hate celebrities, in general. Just because a person can "play a musical instrument" or "pretend for a living" shouldn't automatically give them the high power status that it now does in our society. With that said, I think this movie does a wonderful job of showing the true characters of Pam & Tommy. Their core values are solid and if you can ignore their celebrity occupations (and the glitter that surrounds that) then you can really see how loving and true they are as human beings. If I were their sons, then there is nothing that I would be ashamed about as having Pam & Tommy as my parents.

Pam's mistakes are that she keeps looking for a happy marriage (REPEAT: she is NOT a bad adult and NOT a bad mother). That message of her strength and core value is clear in this movie and listening to this stripped down "the real Pam" version makes the viewers want her to someday find the love and happiness that she so badly is looking for whether it be forever alone or with someone else.

I rarely like documentaries about famous people because it almost always seems like this big ego thing. I promised myself just five minutes of this documentary to see what Pamela looks like now. I'm a middle aged woman, I grew up with this famous lady and we believed what the media told us. Back then we did. Not now anymore. We're older and wiser. I guess And today at the start of the documentary I was expecting to see something entirely different than what I got. And this truly amazing portrait of Pamela, this honest and sweet woman, mesmerized me. I'm so glad this was made for us to see. Pamela, what a truly remarkable human being you are. Xox.

A nice 3D depiction of a woman mostly presented in 2D.

PALS gives Pamela the opportunity to express herself and its as insightful and it is beautiful.

My stomach turned after watching her express the pain of the sex tape being returned to the spotlight in the short tv series that really lived to cash in on her true distress. It was a dirty action by the tv show's creators.

A women who presents at the same time as both insecure and assured, Pamela is an emigma.

Her decision to take on Broadway was bold and inspired.

I didn't have an opinion of Pamela as a person before watching the movie, I had enjoyed her talents but I found myself really liking the person she seems to be :)

Ok, so as a 33 year old I was a bit young to really follow the Pamela Anderson of the 90s. The only things I ever really knew about her were that she was a blonde model who was naked a lot and was in some sex tape. I had seen her on stuff I guess, but never really even thought of her other than as "the blonde bimbo".

After watching this I'm both sad and happy for that. Having not followed it, I have never seen said tape and I didn't watch the Hulu series. I'm SO glad for that because now that I know she didn't have any part in either of those things I wouldn't want to give them my attention anyway.

Pamela seems like such a genuine soul who is on this earth to love. I'm sad I never knew how she advocated for animals. She has such a pure heart and it really showed in this doc. Her sons clearly love her as much as she loves them and I love their fun dynamic.

I was crying like a baby listening to her talk about Tommy. Wow, I never knew they were so in love. But huge respect to her for leaving when she knew she needed to. And I just love how she didn't say a single bad word about anyone. She just doesn't seem like the type who would.

This was actually a very interesting and well made documentary.

It moves fast and it tells Pamela's life story from her point of view.

For a celebrity documentary I'd give it an 8/10.

Pamela seems like a very genuine, likable person and a good mother. There's so much I never knew about her.

I was surprised to learn some of the details about her past - for instance that she was in debt most of her life and she was never good with managing her money.

I also thought she had been married 2 times, but it was actually 6.

In the end I like that the film doesn't portray Pamela as a victim. She seems to own it all and make the most of it.
