| Customer Reviews: No plot. But acting surprises June 21, 2008 Martin Turner (Marlcliff, Warwickshire, England) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
What is it with Pamela Anderson and contract killers?
br /
br /However, this film is not remotely similar to Barb Wire, her earlier foray into the world of hit women. Barb Wire was over-plotted and so under-acted it could have been an extended modelling shoot. Blonde and Blonder has about enough plot for half an episode of Due South, but the acting is surprisingly sophisticated and self-knowing, and the light-touch direction - possibly due to the Canadian influence - keeps it always on this side of being a gross-out movie.
br /
br /The plot, for what it is, is about two blondes who are mistaken for contract killers, and hired by the mob to 'take out' a Chinese business man at Niagara Falls. In the mean time, two mobsters are despatched to keep an eye on them, two FBI agents are sent to catch them, and the real contract killers set off to kill them for trying to steal their territory. You can figure out what happens from this yourself. And, yes, it all turns out exactly as you would expect. Or more so.
br /
br /Most of the characters are fairly two-dimensional, but Pamela Anderson and Denise Richards paint a really rather convincing picture of themselves as _quite_ dippy blondes, but (aside from the tippex on the computer screen) not quite as dippy as they might be if they were just stereotypes. It is this unexpected deftness of choice which rescues the movie, making the characterisation rather more convincing than Dumb and Dumber, whose title it of course emulates.
br /
br /This film was panned by the critics, and did disastrously at the box office. But, for an evening of undemanding entertainment, this really isn't at all bad.
br /
br /That's it really. It's a movie to be enjoyed, and if you're happy to enjoy it for what it is, you'll be happy with it. If you're looking for sophisticated Rom-Com, buy Down with Love instead.
