      Tom M Weak story but clever and quite funny at times. Crain comes out of her shell and is every bit as sexy as Russell. Vallee as himself is a good storyline. Brady's character is annoying and poorly acted. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/21 Full Review Audience Member musical sequel to 1953's 'gentlemen prefer blondes' Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Just kind of bland compared to "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes." There's some old standards here, but nothing--apart from the "Ain't Misbehavin'" segment--is really outstanding. Also, Jane Russell has a distractingly bad haircut. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Unmemorable follow-up to Gentleman Prefer Blondes. Totally different story that lacks the charm or effervescence of the original. There are some good songs but they're all standards, not original to the film, and the costuming and production design are top notch. One of the major problems is having Jane playing a bubblehead, she just is too innately intellegent to be convincing as a flighty woman. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Even in the 50's sequels never quite lived up to the first. This viewer still prefers the Blond. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Disappointing and inferior to Gentlemen Prefer Blondes for the following reasons: Anaemic direction, poorly staged musical numbers, stereotyped French setting. Oh and Jane Russell has massive breasts...if this was in 3D I would be recoiling in my seat for fear of being blubbered :-> Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
