Private Valentine: Blonde & Dangerous [HD]

"That dress would be perfect if we were premiering a movie called 'Backdoor Blondes."
I'm betting your liking this film may hinge partly on where you stand on the whole Jessica Simpson thing. Do you love her, loathe her, don't give a dang about her? Me, I don't think much of her singing and I'm leaning towards tepid when it comes to her acting skills. But I think it's beyond debate that she's a straight-up stunner, and my feeling is that she's kind of gotten a bum rap from the press and paparazzi. Acting career-wise, I'm not sure that Jessica Simpson will ever star in a critically acclaimed picture, her best movie so far being Employee of the Month (Widescreen Edition). But that doesn't mean that her cinematic stuff isn't worth checking out. So, yes, I saw PRIVATE VALENTINE: BLONDE & DANGEROUS, and I survived it. Fact is, I even liked it.

Jessica Simpson, minutes into the movie, eventually got on my good side, and she eventually wore down my skepticism. She plays down-and-out actress...

An enjoyable way to spend a rainy afternoon
Take this movie for what it is....a enjoyable way to kill a few hours if you expected something oscar worthy you shouldn't have picked it up in the first place. While its not near the best of anything it was still made to entertain and that it does if you just watch it for what it is and don't expect a masterpiece. I was entertained and I think Simpson's acting has improved in this movie she was bubbly, cute and ignorant just as the character was. Everybody likes something different and I think this movie is actually enjoyable if your not heading into it already condemning it. I personally love Simpson I think she is an incredible woman with a good head on her shoulders.

Jessica Simpson does Private Benjamin
After "Blonde Ambition", my expectations for this movie were very low. As I started watching it it seemed better than I expected. It was pretty funny at times and Jessica Simpson worked surprisingly well in the lead role. She's helped by some good supporting actors, especially Vivica A Fox and Cheri Oteri. The plot is extremely predictable and taken directly from films like Private Benjamin and Feds. About halfway into the movie, the film started taking itself a bit too seriously and became less funny. Still it's a decent way to spend 90 minutes. Weak 3 star rating. Would have been a solid 3 stars if the second half had been as good as the first half.
