Michael Bolton's Big, Sexy Valentine's Day Special

Had to create an IMDB account just to review this amazing movie. It was pure comedy gold and let's be honest no one can get enough Michael Bolton in their lives 😉

Michael Bolton was HUGE in the 1980s and 90s. However, in recent years he's been a lot less visible....so Netflix giving him a holiday special just seems weird and out of left field...which, now that I think about it is a great way to describe this show!

When the story begins, Santa informs Michael that he has too many toys to give away this year. After telling Michael NOT to murder the elves as a solution, he gets the singer to agree to help by getting people to procreate like mad so they'll have enough kids to give all those extra toys to in 10 months! What follows are a bunch of weird acts as well as Bolton himself singing a few numbers. All of it weird and surreal....very, very surreal!

This is a very enjoyable show...provided you DON'T watch it with your kids. It's all about sex and much of what you hear is very crude....very adult. And, I can also guarantee many adults won't like it because it is so bizarre and off the wall. Sure...a few skits fall flat...but when it works, it works very well. However, if you are an adult and like the mega-weird, give this funny show a look! And, if possible, watch it with someone you love.

After Santa tells Michael Bolton that he needs 75,000 new babies by Christmas to meet toy supply, Michael Bolton hosts a sexy telethon to get the world to start making love.

While there are some duds within this special (notably the "cupid shuffle" skit), this really is a fine attempt at a comeback for Michael Bolton. His new association with Lonely Island and this funny, movie-loving version of himself is perfect. Whether it was him or Samberg who developed it, it works.

Not coincidentally, many of the songs performed by Bolton also appear on his newest album. On this, he covers some of the classic movie songs... which again raises the question, is this sincere, or part of an elaborate ruse?

Michael Bolton is great in this special. If one loves Michael Bolton, you will love this. His singing is still amazing! Some of the skits are really funny (Carl Flossy), while some drag on a little too long (Cupid Shuffle). Just go into it with an open mind.

There isn't much to say about this film, it's simply spectacular and hilarious.
