Customer Reviews of The Last of the Blonde Bombshells
Judi Is The Blonde Bombshell What a delightful, fun, family movie. It spans the generations with a little something for everyone. There is some adult content that wouldn't be suitable for young children. It would be great fun for a grandmother and teenage grandaughter to see together, since grandchildren are often more in tune with their grandparents than are the offspring themselves. Suffice to say that Judi Dench uses her many talents to bring the bombshell to life!
Nostalgia
This is a fairly entertaining HBO film, worthy especially because of Judi Dench, who gives yet another first class performance. But the script is extraordinarily superficial, and its moral overtone is tedious: all that matters in life is to be young and have sex. The Christian in the film is considered a loony. While the Olympia Dukakis character, a many times married drunk, is just a heck of a lot of fun. And so on. The flashbacks to the 1940s are not at all persuasive, especially the makeup. And the sound that tiny band produces is made in fact by a much larger group. The actors do pretty well at pretending to be musicians, with the notable exception of Leslie Caron. Cleo Laine's presence in the film is gratuitous, and the camera should have avoided closeups. In short, here is a happy, silly, predictable, narcissistic flick worthy of HBO. Still, Judi Dench is something to behold.
Great coming of Third Age tale
What do you do after your husband of many years dies? Elizabeth (Dench) went to the library twice a week, babysat her granddaughter and that was life enough--til she heard a street busker and took her clandestine saxophone practice to the streets.
