Weak opening and silly humor, but somewhat amusing


This stars Pamela Anderson and Denise Richards as two blonde bimbos who are mistaken for notorious assassins. They're chased by the FBI, the two real assassins and others.

I find airheaded bimbos annoying and neither Anderson nor Richards trip my trigger here: Anderson was 39 years-old and Richards 35 when it was shot, with Anderson looking past her expiration date. But they're likable enough as the ditzy blondes. The first 25-30 minutes are pretty bad with literally nothing striking me as funny or interesting, but then the duo meet the mob boss at a so-called "gentleman's club" and the sequence was so over-the-top I couldn't help but laugh. The movie won me over, sorta, as I laughed both with it and at it.

Emmanuelle Vaugier and Meghan Ory play the assassins, Cat and Kit, dressed in black leather outfits practically the entire film. Vaugier in particular is effective.

The locations are good, shot in Los Angeles & Santa Clarita, Niagara Falls and British Columbia. There's a boat chase at the end reminiscent of "Live and Let Die," albeit not as memorable.

At the end of the day, this is only worthwhile if you like the stars and appreciate really dumb humor. Most of the jokes fall flat, but it's consistently fun & zany and without idiotic toilet humor, except for a farting turtle. The biggest problem is that the first act is weak and seriously tempts the viewer to tune-out, but if you can persevere you'll catch the groove and be amused, if you like dippy humor.

Wasn't even aware this movie existed. I'd give it a go, based on what you've said.

Edit: 2.8 on IMDb! 😂 Screw it, I'd still give it a go!

Yeah, I noticed that horrible average-rating before posting. I can understand it because the flick starts out so badly (I quit watching after a half hour on my first attempt). But, like I said, it becomes entertaining in a bad-on-purpose way, if you can roll with its craziness.
