Totally Blonde (2001)

way too funny

Ok, I admit it, I'm a huge, huge, HUGE fan of Michael Buble, and that was the only reason I decided to sit down and watch this film. I have to tell ya, ok it's really chessy and corny, but in a funny sort of way.
Meg is tired of dating all the wrong guys so she decides to go blonde in the hopes that it will help. She ends up attracting the attention of the owner of the V Club, Van Martin played by talented Michael Buble. But she is actually in love with an old high school friend.
My heart goes out to Van in this silly yet fun movie. If I ever saw Meg, not the actress but the character herself, walking down the street, she better run. LOL!
There are alot of funny jokes. Michael is great at the different voices, that's my fave scene in the whole thing, and the IAG thing is too cute. My friends and I use it so much, it's sunken into our vocabulary now, in fact I have them saying it at work now too. LOL! January 28, 2007

I.A.G.

it's funny how these things happen.
i'm flicking through the channels late one night last week and happen upon a scene from a movie with a terrifically buxom blonde who has just stripped down to her underthings. naturally my eyes were riveted.
i don't remember too much more probably because i fell asleep.
several nights later,or,was it several nights before,while i was watching one of those late night chat shows(i think it was carson daly)who should be introduced but the very fetching actress krista allen. i knew her from the emmanuel in space series of movies(although i never watched one all the way through) and the girl-in-the-elevator scene with jim carey in liar,liar. again, i was half asleep so unfortunately i don't remember too much of the interview.
and then, and then, a few days ago i'm up late, eyes once again afixed to the tv screen and my nimble fingers caressing the remote button landing me on a movie......a movie with a very attractive tall blonde gal and THIS time i'm awake to watch it all the way through.
the movie was 'totally blonde'.
as i'm watching it and enjoying more and more krista's character in the movie as she giggles and frowns and jumps up and down to whatever the situation is, the scene, THAT scene, where our terrifically buxom blonde begins to strip down to her bare essentials appears and i gleefully recall "oh! i saw that a few days ago!" now i'm REALLY wishing i had payed attention to the daly interview a few nights before! arghhh
anyway,
in this movie, krista who plays a girl named meg is having an emotional tug-of-war with a guy she likes and another guy who she is really heads over heels for. but the guy she just likes, or as she calls him, her 'friend', happens to be the real life singer(or more accurately, crooner)michael buble. and michael, in this movie, plays a guy named van who owns a jazz club featuring himself as a singer very much in the mold of michael himself. i hope this is not too confusing! lol
anyway, van is a very sweet guy and meg is very close to upgrading him from 'friend' status to something more when along comes an old high school crush-the guy she falls head over heels with. but van is really smitten with meg and sings to her several times in his soft and debonair style-anything a girl would melt for.
i did not realize until after the movie was over that this singing and the actor playing van is actually the singer michael buble~!
as well as having an outstanding singing style, michael is a very good actor. i really enjoyed watching his character in this movie. the part he played, van, was so likeable and natural and easy-going.
it kind of makes your head spin when meg becomes infatuated with her old high school crush who's a rather dorky(but, yes, hot looking hunk)surfer dude and in the process giving van his walking papers.
without giving the whole story away i would like to conclude with what i feel is a new discovery-her name:krista allen.
in this movie, she played her part of meg so sweet and playful. i really fell for her in a big way. she may look like a typical stuck up 'dumb blonde' but that stereotype does not apply here to fun-loving and big-hearted meg.
as played by krista i really fell in love with her, and krista.
i also thank this movie for introducing me to mr. buble-a great singer and actor .
if i may sum up this movie it would make sense to use the code that van himself uses several times during the movie......"i.a.g." which stands for 'it's all good'!
oh wait!........it's not ALL good because the dvd version of totally blonde does not.....repeat....does NOT include the ESSENTIAL scene wherein meg/krista strips down to her bare essentials! this scene on the dvd is severely edited! for shame for shame
i have to deduct a star for that! October 30, 2006

Only if your are a die hard fan of Michael Buble'!

I gave the video 5 stars because it is Michael Buble's first movie and he is wonderful in it!! And, I love the music of the big band era. But quite frankly, the movie is a little cheesy! You really have to be a Buble' fan to appreciate it! It's a 2 star movie with a 5 star entertainer!! August 3, 2006

Michael Buble Only Redeeming Factor

I watched this movie only to see Michael Buble. Everything in this movie was disappointing except Michael's voice. The songs were not up to his class, however--quite disappointing. The female star in this movie is awful. How did Michael get into this mess of a movie? He is also much better looking than this movie shows him. May 5, 2006
