I didn't know much about Pamela Anderson Lee outside of the sex icon, Baywatch, and her marrying rocker Tommy Lee, so wasn't sure what to expect. Her story is inspiring, it's honest, transparent and makeup-free. She's a survivor and her story is an unabashed, unscripted tale of survival. Much respect to you, Pamela, for this sneak peek into your past, present and future. Your legacy isn't going to be that horrible tape but the two beautiful, loving sons you've raised so well. My hat's off to you, ma'am.

Growing up watching baywatch, I've always loved Pamela, I wanted to be her like most girls did , watching this documentary she comes across as funny and so down to earth, her boys are are credit to her, she is a strong woman just wanting that fairytale, and my god I hope she gets it, it's also very refreshing to see a woman on tv without a bit of makeup on, not that she needs it for she is truly beautiful, how she was treated when her sex tape came out was horrific, she was portrayed as a slut, I hope whoever stole it and the people that released it watch this and are fully ashamed of themselves.
Please watch this. Finally we get to see the woman behind the image.
Firstly, she's a sweetheart. Thoughtful, with a wicked dark sense of humor, completely aware of her own flaws. She's also deeply hurt how she was played and portrayed due to that awful sex tape affair that well, still is impacting her live today, through no fault of her own. There was no #metoo yet, she got mauled by the machinery yet came out on the other end to tell the tale.
I love how she's a woman of today, taking responsibility of the mess but at the same time working what she's got to the fullest. Her search of true love is endearing, her embracing aging refreshing (I'd love to see Jlo shoot a doc without make up). The very loving relationship with her sons shows you who she really is.
I'd also like to remark how unbelievably beautiful and photogenic she was. I think as a society we could not look past that, we kind of did not allow her ever to really be anything else then something of a silicon doll, which, in view how she wrapped the audience around her finger in the musical Chicago, is a total waste.
In any case, as a fellow Canadian I was happy to see that she's okay. Happy, still searching for love, but happy.

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.

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.
