So, I love love loved this movie when I watched it a week ago on t.v. I ordered it on Amazon so I could share it with my fiance. As I started to watch, low and behold, it's edited. It doesn't tell you this when you go to order it. The best parts of the movie aren't there! It's pretty bad when the t.v. version has less editing than the dvd. Be smart and look for the UNedited version, it's so much more funny.

This film is generally dreadful - with a simplistic plot, an obnoxious herione, and only one good laugh (it involves a Canadian Mountie). Yet, as others have said, the saving grace is Michael Buble. His singing is wonderful and he may have some potential as an actor. Unfortunately, the film doesn't isolate its chapters so one could zoom from one Buble song to the next and skip this badly written film.

Before I'm accused of hating blonde movies, let me state for the record that I gave "Legally Blonde" 4 stars. It deserved it. "Totally Blonde", on the other hand, looks and feels for the most part like it was written, directed, and acted by a bunch of kids freshly flunked out of film school. It goes wrong in so many different ways that I can't even begin to list them here. (OK, I can: acting, writing, directing...) At one particularly low point in the movie the director seems to realize that the best thing he has going for him (I assume it's a male...I can't believe a female could portray women so poorly) is Allen's breasts and so he decides to focus in on them (literally) in several scenes that could have come straight out of a low-budget porn flick.

If you're feeling overly intelligent and want to lower your IQ a little, here's the perfect tool to do it with.

The opening sequence of this film features a young brunette having trouble finding Mr. Right, so she sets out to find him by dying her hair blond. It is a misguided attempt, and you assume, as the viewer, that the film will center around how her life differs now that she is bottle-beautiful. However, that is not the case at all. Soon it is forgotten that she was once a brunette, and her quest just gets funnier and funnier. Michael Buble gives us some absolutely beautiful original songs, and the supporting cast just complements Ms. Allen in her role. It is not about how she looks that will attract the right man for her. In fact, she seems to get stuck in the worst relationship for her intellectually, but perhaps some of that blond dye seeped to her brain because she thinks she is in love with him. While Ms. Allen's attempt at physical comedy does not top Lucille Ball, she makes a genuine effort, and she is a very convincing comedic actress. This movie overall is just about fun. It is filled with fun characters and wacky situations and great relationships. The music alone is worth it!

Totally B movie with only one redeeming factor: Michael Buble's singing.
Buble's acting has some potential but it's his singing that's makes this dumb movie watchable.

That was the only reason that I purchased this movie was so that I can watch Michael Buble....other than that, this movie wasn't very good at all. Krista Allen plays this woman that can't pick the right guy, and when the right guy (Michael Buble) comes along, she's not interested in him. He plays a really nice guy in the movie. I didn't find this movie to be funny although it tried to be funny, it was more corny! So, only get this movie if your a Michael Buble Fan! I paid less than $7.

I would recommend this movie for hardcore Michael Buble' fans only. Other than that, the plot is predictable, we've seen it all before with mostly bad acting, except for Buble' who turns out to be the best actor in the film, with some pretty good singing too.

If this horrid flick were used to soften up terrorists at Gitmo instead of Christina Aguilaras' singing any terrorist would crack within 5 minutes. Michael Buble is a wonderful singer and an actor with promise but his agent should be shot for getting him in this mess of a movie. Krista Allen should be shipped to the Antarctica ASAP before she strikes again. She is the biggest waste of time and space I've ever witnessed. She can't act and she's so stupid that I don't believe that she's capable of anything but screwing something up. Until I saw this travisty I thought that the two worst movies I had ever seen were "Ulzana's Raid"--only movie I ever walked out on because of blood and violence--and "The Good, Bad and Ugly"--neverending, truly awful, spaghetti Western. Little did I know that I hadn't even begun to see the worst. Awful storyline, terrible acting, script must have been written by a couple of 6th grade boys. I wish I could give this movie minus 10 stars.

Wow. If the Producer set out to make one of the most horrendous movies known to man, he did it. Give 'em a Gold Star.

I like most movies I see. But not this one.

Even though I had read some of the reviews, which were less than positive, I didn't think it could be that bad. I'm a fan of soaps - Krista Allen (Days of Our Lives), Mauve Quinlan (Bold and the Beautiful, 90210) and Brody Hutzler (Young and the Restless, Days Of Our Lives) are actors that I've known of, and watched, for years.

But first and foremost, I am a fan of Michael Buble. He is the reason why I decided to buy this movie and give it a shot. I had never seen it on TV, I couldn't find a rental copy (after seeing it, I'm not surprised as no reputable rental establishment like Blockbuster would carry it). So, I bought it. He shows a bit of promise as an actor, although after seeing him perform this past summer, his passion is clearly music.

The only reason that I didn't turn this crap off within the first 10 minutes was because I knew that Michael had a fairly sizable role.

Do yourselves a favor and stay away from buying this movie. It's not worth it. Your time is more valuable that this - even if you sat on a rock, in a corner, twiddling your thumbs.

Yeah, its a silly movie...but its meant to be silly! I really liked it. I liked it so much I want to add it to my collection of dvds. Michael Buble is pretty cute in it and his acting isn't bad either...he's why I watched it in the first place. Also, the songs he sings are really good too. I say WATCH IT...you'll like it!
