Blonde and Blonder

I watched this going into the movie knowing it was going to be dumb.The title says it all how does anyone expect anything different is beyond me.Since it is two major stars and I never heard of the movie.i did not expect Oscar type of a performance(neither of these two could have ever been mistaken for great acting ability in the past) So with that in mind I sat down and relaxed and enjoyed the movie.Not the best written.Just plain and downright funny.Some of the jokes are lame.These two are so dumb it makes ya wonder how they got through life!yet the story is good enough to say I wanna see the end! I read many of the reviews on here and the overall thing is that many expected way to much from this movie.Plain and simple it is meant to entertain and this movie does the job!

Horrible premise, horrible script, horrible production quality, better than horrible acting make this movie a must watch. I cannot believe the budget on this disaster of a film is estimated at $8,000,000. Is that Canadian? Pam and Denise are the only reason to watch this attempt at a movie. I will always wonder how films such as these get greenlit. Just horrible.

Having typed all that, it is a fun frolic to enjoy during the early 2020's pandemic lock down.

Two complete idiots show up to train for their pilot's license (Oh, no!), but quickly get into all kinds of trouble. This is where the movie goes downhill! While watching, I kept thinking 'Why are these women running loose without medication and a guard?!' It's only because I like these two actresses that I decided to watch this. Actually, I'm appalled! I don't mind silly movies or funny movies, but this was a waste! I've seen these actresses in better comedic roles, so this makes me think if they had a better director and a better script maybe they could have pulled this off? I don't know. All I do know is that after watching this my brain became numb and number!! LOL.

Pamela Anderson hasn't exactly set the world alight since the heady days of "Baywatch", and Denise Richard's career has pretty much gone in the same direction since "Starship Troopers", so with Anderson credited as executive producer as well as main star, the words "Be afraid. Be very afraid" were flashing inside my brain in great big neon forty-foot letters. The DVD was deep in the bargain basement bin in my local store, so I wasn't expecting much. It looked like it could be a laugh though. Mind you, Anderson is the wrong side of 40, and Richards is in her late thirties, both of whom playing characters who should really be played by much younger actresses in their early twenties.

It's not original - the girls think that "taking Mr Wong out" means taking him on a date and not doing a mob hit on him. That's about as sophisticated as it gets - Two dumb blondes who don't have a clue about what is going on around them. At least the writers avoid the use of too much toilet humour apart from the farting turtle, while most of the production money probably went on Anderson and Richards matching wardrobes and the final speedboat chase scene. What you're looking at here is basically a female version of "Dumb and Dumber". It'll never win any Oscars, but the fact they have already announced a sequel means that no matter what the critics thought, some people actually sat down and watched this film and it made a decent profit, so its clearly not all that rubbish. It helps if you switch your brain off, and if you do, you'll probably find that this film is a fair bit of fun. I do hope they re-cast some younger actresses for the sequel though. This is a franchise that could go somewhere. 6/10

Nowadays, it seems like Hollywood has completely run out of ideas and is simply resorting to taking existing scripts and swapping the genders of the main characters. However, it looks like this has been a thing waaay before 'Ghostbusters 2016' and that 'Ocean's 11' film with Sandra Bullock. Here we see the script from 'Dumb and Dumber' (the original and - only - good one) get photocopied and Harry and Lloyd replaced by Dee and - er - another woman beginning with 'D' (yes, I even can't remember characters' names straight after watching the film.

Pamela Anderson (apparently not a natural blonde) and Denise Richards (definitely not a natural blonde - and, for some reason, her hair looks more 'light brown' than blonde!) star as a pair of - and there's no other real word for them - 'bimbos' who get caught up with assassins, mobsters and a suitcase full of cash, ala 'Dumb and Dumber.' The only problem is the one thing that doesn't seem to have been successfully been replicated is the humour.

Okay, so I smiled a few times here and there, but all the 'jokes' (notice the quote marks?) rely on the two leads misunderstanding another person's line of dialogue. Either that or simply falling over. It doesn't help that the two leads are hardly 'A-list' any more and, without wishing to be too hard on them, you can sort of see why.

Both Pam and Denise are a bit 'one note.' This film could probably have been a series of sketches contained in some late night TV show which showcases a string of exaggerated characters, rather than one long narrative.

There are plenty of reviews that give this film a terrible 'one star' rating. I think that's a bit unfair. It's definitely not great, but it's far from the worst film ever. If you know what you're getting (and you don't have to pay to watch this), you can sort of have it on in the background and chuckle occasionally while you check your phone for messages.
