Product Description: The City That Never Sleeps is about to meet the girl that doesn't quit. Jessica Simpson stars as Katie Gregerstitch, a small-town Oklahoma beauty who's come to New York to visit her long-time boyfriend. But after finding him in the arms of another woman, Katie decides to lose her cheating man and to find herself. With the help of two scheming co-workers (Andy Dick and Penelope Ann Miller), she lands a job at a top construction firm where she meets and falls for a great guy (Luke Wilson) with an even greater secret. Now, nothing is going to stop this go-getter from getting exactly what her heart desires in the romantic comedy that proves you can't keep a bright, beautiful down-home girl down. Also starring Willie Nelson.
Please enter a title for your review The trailer tricked me into watching this. For the first half hour it was pretty cool, like how she falls into the hole with the bike and then just lies there having a conversation with the dude, but after that all personality, flavor, and attention to detail disappears leaving all characters and situations one-dimensional. Most scenes in the romantic plotline lack context and feel like re-enecatments from other movies. They actually use the "romantic lead 1 sees romantic lead 2 hugging someone out of context and jumps to the wrong conclusion" thing. The rest is like an episode of Ugly Betty with all the office scheming drama. A made-for-tv calibre product, or maybe it should more accurately just be considered a kids movie.
Blonde expectations Let's not discriminate. Whether you hate or you like Jessica Simpson, the movie was all in all fairly cute. It's a chick flick, a light romantic comedy, an ideal rental (although I wouldn't have wanted to watch this movie at the theatre). Fairly unreal, over the edge, exaggeration... but fun to watch. Predictable, but aren't all movies such as this? When we watch this kind of movie we cannot expect oscar-winning acting and complicated story lines, we should just take it as is... Blonde Ambition.
Loved it, Cute Girl Movie! I loved this movie. It had some funny parts and it was romantic. This is the perfect girl movie. You can see it while having a girls night.
Jessica can act! Wow this is the best movie Jessica has made! And I thought that Jessica should stick to singing, but I was wrong! Jessica really shows talent in this movie. A really fun movie!
For Die-Hard Simpson Fans ONLY! I thought critics were just picking on Jessica Simpson when "Blonde Ambition" was universally panned, but after (barely) sitting through this turkey, I conceded, and have to say this is one of the dumbest films I've watched since "Dude, Where's My Car?"
While Simpson's performance is cringe-worthy, the blame isn't entirely her's. The script, by John Cohen, Matthew Flanagan, and David McHugh, tries to combine elements of "Working Girl" and "The Dukes of Hazard", with all the finesse of a bull in a china shop. 'Clever' touches, like using Groucho Marx character names as clients, having co-star Rachael Leigh Cook ("Josie and the Pussycats") audition for a non-musical version of "Cats", and tossing in a cameo by Penny Marshall (complete with a reference to Milwaukee, the setting of "Laverne and Shirley) are dumb, rather than funny. Add to this Scott Marshall's ham-handed direction, and you have all the elements for a train wreck of a film.
The sad thing is, some wonderful talent is wasted. Larry Miller manages to make the most out of a poorly-written role as Simpson's boss, but Luke Wilson and Penelope Ann Miller (who both deserve better) are reduced to grinning and mugging, as the 'true love' and 'villain'. Willie Nelson and Drew Fuller are little more than window dressing; only Andy Dick seems a perfect 'fit', as idiotic as the plot, itself!
As for Jessica...if "Blonde Ambition" is any indication, she'd better stick to singing!
