Blonde and Blonder

source: Blonde and Blonder

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.

"Blonde and Blonder" (2007) stars Pamela Anderson and Denise Richards as two blonde bimbos who are mistaken for notorious assassins. They're chased by the FBI, the real assassins (two sharp brunettes) and others. I personally find air-headed bimbos annoying and neither Anderson or Richards trip my trigger in this movie (on a physical level). Anderson was 39 and Richards 35 when it was shot, with Anderson looking past her expiration date. But they're likable enough as the ditzy blonds. The first 25-30 minutes were pretty bad with literally nothing striking me as funny or interesting, but then the duo meet the mob boss at the Beaver Patch (a so-called "gentleman's club") and the sequence was so over-the-top I couldn't help but laugh. The movie won me over, sorta, as I laughed both with it and at it. Emmanuelle Vaugier and Meghan Ory play the assassins, Cat and Kit, dressed in tight black leather outfits practically the entire film. Vaugier in particular is effective. The locations are good, shot in Los Angeles & Santa Clarita, CA, Niagara Falls and British Columbia. There's a boat chase at the end reminiscent of "Live and Let Die," albeit no where near as good. "Blonde and Blonder" is only worthwhile if you like the stars and appreciate really dumb humor. Most of the jokes fall flat, but it's consistently fun & zany and without idiotic toilet humor, except for the farting turtle. The biggest problem is that the entire first act is weak and seriously tempts the viewer to tune-out, but if you can resist it you'll catch the groove and be amused, IF you like dippy humor. The film runs 95 minutes. GRADE: C

When being blonde and a turtle farting are your only jokes throughout an entire movie, it gets kinda grating quick like first 5 minutes quick.

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!

These two blondes, anderson and richards would definitely draw a monster crowd with their clothes off and have screwed their way around hollywood so the only thing left is to have fun while acting like dumb blondes ... we all know they are not only good to look at but have smarts as well so this is a fun picture and nothing else so go with the flow

This film is about two blonde girls being mistaken by the police and mobs as ruthless assassins. "Blonde and Blonder" is not as bad as I thought. I think the plot and the jokes work quite well. Having two dumb but attractive girls misunderstanding a very grave situation is actually hilarious. Obviously there are no intelligent moments, but at least it does not entirely rely on toilet humour or nudity to make viewers interested. I mean, they are actually very serious about this film, with so helicopters and speedboats in the final chase! "Blonde and Blonder" is a great brain off entertainment for a quiet evening. After all, one would not expect any Oscar nominated performance!

When I was at the movie store the other day, I passed up Blonde and Blonder, but something about it just seemed like it could possibly be a cute movie. Who knows? I mean, I'm sure most people bashed Romy and Michelle before they saw it, Blonde and Blonder might have just been another secret treasure that was passed up. But when I started watching it: Executive Producer Pamela Anderson, wow, I knew I was in for something scary. Not only that, but both of what were considered the pinnacle of hotness: Pam Anderson and Denise Richards, not to offend them, but they were not aging well at all and they're playing roles that I think were more meant for women who are supposed to be in their 20's, not their 40's. The story was just plain bad and obnoxious. Dee and Dawn are your beyond stupid stereotypical blonde's, they really don't have a clue when it comes to what is going on in the world, it's just really sad. But when the girls are somehow mistaken for murder assassins, the cops are on their tale and are actually calling the girls geniuses due to their "ignorance is bliss" attitudes. They are set up to make a "hit" on a guy, and they think they're just going to "show him a good time", but the real assassin is ticked and wants the case and to kill the girls. Denise and Pam just look very awkward on the screen and almost like they read the script the day before. I know that this was supposed to be the stupid comedy, but it was more than stupid, it went onto obnoxious and was just unnecessary. Would I ever recommend this? Not in a million years, the girls are just at this point trying to maintain their status as "sex kittens", it's more a sign of desperation and Blonde and Blonder is a huge blonde BOMBshell. 1/10

I know comedy is subjective. This movie is not able to make me smile. It was painfully slow and boring. The jokes got so prolonged they actually got tedious. the acting was horrid beyond comparison. The story made no sense. The music is bland. Watch other movie. Seriously, unless you want to fall asleep.

I was required to watch the movie for my work, so I didn't pay for it (on the contrary, i got paid), but I still found the movie to suck far more than average. The jokes were lame, the two lead actresses... well, to use the "First wives club" division of women's ages in Hollywood, they are no longer in their "hot chick" age but more in their "district attorney" age. What angered me most about the movie was the main plot line, which pretty much completely plagiarized "Beavis & Butthead Do America" (in which the boys are all jazzed up about some dude offering them money to "do his wife", not realizing they're expected to assassinate her). All in all, a bland piece of crap.
