![]() 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. ![]() 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. She never wonders if the men she meets are only after her for the stereotypical image of a blonde bombshell. After that, it doesn't really affect her as a person or in her relationships. Only a few comments in the beginning are made about her change of look. Meg Peters dyes her hair blonde within the opening credits, and she never looks back. The title of this film might not seem appropriate after you watch the movie in it's entirety. Not only was the movie an insult to the general intelligence of the public it was completely unrealistic. He had the only role with sincerity attached and it was cheapened by the surrounding cast. The only character worth watching was Van played by Michael Buble. I think that Krista Allen is beautiful but she was so whiny and oblivious that I was disgusted by her and dumbfounded at how being so stupid she could hold or even be considered for an executive job in advertising! That was the only funny part, by the way, of this supposedly romantic comedy. The basic idea of the movie seems to be if you throw a bunch of attractive people together and have one of them sing it is worth making a movie about. The acting only intensified how horrible the story line was. It didn't! I felt like my IQ had significantly dropped afterwords. I watched this movie because I caught a minute and had to keep watching to see if it got better. I only picked a 1 out of 10 stars because there was no option for anything lower. 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"). 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). The trite message of "Follow your heart" as the core of the film's plot had me rolling my eyes on multiple occasions. Obvious attempts at humor were almost universally unfunny, and the soundtrack in many cases unsuccessfully tried to be jazzy (aside from Bublé's songs). This display erased any sympathy I might have otherwise felt for the character. 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. The other characters don't do any better. The acting of Allen is painful to watch, and I continually felt pity for her. His acting is very bad, but his singing is good. The only highlight is the Sinatra-like singing of Michael Bublé, the male lead. It features B-movie/soft-core porn star Krista Allen in a farcical attempt at romantic comedy. I'm almost embarrassed to be writing a review of this film. For Michael Bublé's singing, his CDs are available. 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'. This is one hell of a crappy movie with only one or two good points. I hope the director has now chosen a different career path more suitable for him because film-making is not for him. The atrocious writing is extremely shoddy and even amateurs can do a better job. Maeve Quinlan is decent and the rest of the cast is unbearable. Krita Allen grossly overacts with the exception of a very few scenes and sadly, she doesn't go nude in this one. For a débutant, Bublé is okay but at times he's a bit too weepy. The chemistry between Bublé and Allen isn't lacking either. It features some very nice solo numbers by Michael Bublé. I'll start with the good points of the movie. Allen looks hot but I prefer her non-blonde look and her dress sense in 'Totally Blonde' was awful. ![]() Alright, the only reason I watched this was Krista Allen otherwise I was expecting a horrible movie and it was pretty bad. ![]()
