This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

For those who enjoy only the parts of the movie in which Michael Buble sings, there is a DVD out there containing only those scenes. It's called "Totally Buble" and is a companion to a CD of the same name. Both have been denounced by Buble and his management, but IMHO the songs are not as bad as they let on. There are seven songs/scenes on the DVD but they're very short (That's How it Goes, Peroxide Swing, Me & Mrs. You, Love and First Sight, Anyone to Love, Guess I'm Falling For You, Tell Him He's Yours). But if you can find it in a bargain bin for a couple of bucks, as I did, it may be worth picking up. (At such a price I doubt the producers will get any money from it, so you needn't worry about supporting their actions against the artist's own wishes - besides, it's your money.) BTW, here are Michael's own words concerning the Totally Buble CD and DVD, from his fan site:"'Totally Buble' is not an album that I wanted to be released. They were songs I recorded for a film called "Totally Blonde" many years ago before I was signed to 143/Reprise Records. The decision to release it as an album was made by the film's producer, and I had no control over stopping him. It is important for everyone to know, that I only want to release quality music to my fans by offering my best work and I sincerely apologize if you purchased this album." "You've heard from me in the past regarding my thoughts on the "Totally Buble" not being a true representation of what I do. I have now been told of a DVD that is out in the market with the same name and art work. I feel the same way about this DVD. The old expression 'Buyer Beware' has never been more appropriate. Thanks everyone."

UNREALISTIC. Both of those guys would be getting laid more than carpet in a carpet laying store. One has his own freaking nightclub and sings like Sinatra, and the other has his own surfboard company and volleyball abs, and they waste their time (and intercontinental flights) on a girl with fake looking boobs that wont decide what she wants for another 5 years? The 'wall of insane polaroid baggage' should of been a dead giveaway. This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen, bar none. It's a sick adolescent fantasy, that will do more harm than good in the world. If its saying anything, I expected it to turn into bad soft core porn the WHOLE time, and it didn't, which is even lamer.

I'm almost embarrassed to be writing a review of this film. It features B-movie/soft-core porn star Krista Allen in a farcical attempt at romantic comedy. The only highlight is the Sinatra-like singing of Michael Bublé, the male lead. His acting is very bad, but his singing is good. The acting of Allen is painful to watch, and I continually felt pity for her. The other characters don't do any better.The script is atrocious, the interior sets look over-lit and low budget (especially the club), the photography is mediocre, the narrative flow is ridiculously compressed, there's no building on the theme of a woman changing her appearance to exploit a male preference (in fact, almost no comment on it at all), and Allen's character's behavior is so completely juvenile and immature that she becomes an obnoxious stereotype of the oblivious woman. This display erased any sympathy I might have otherwise felt for the character. Obvious attempts at humor were almost universally unfunny, and the soundtrack in many cases unsuccessfully tried to be jazzy (aside from Bublé's songs). The trite message of "Follow your heart" as the core of the film's plot had me rolling my eyes on multiple occasions.I am convinced that Andrew Van Slee lacks any real talent whatsoever (how many readers are saying "Duh!"?), having now seen three of his films (I won't bother with any more of them). There are so many truly great romantic comedies available that no time at all should be wasted on this one (instead, run right out and rent "It Happened One Night").

Fabulous music, a great story line, a lot of funny, unusual scenes, make this movie a hit. The movie moves along well, and the boy meets girl cliché is handled in a cute, happy wholesome manner that is appropriate for all viewers. Lots of hysterical, silly scenes, great music and a surprise happy ending makes the charm of this movie a factor for sure success.
