“Private Valentine”, on the other hand, is cut from a different cloth. [1]

Private Valentine: Blonde & Dangerous or ‘Major Movie Star’ is a 2008 comedy film starring Jessica Simpson. [2]

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has announced Private Valentine: Blonde & Dangerous which stars Jessica Simpson, Vivica A. Fox, and Steve Guttenberg. [3]

Private Valentine is a flimsy retread of Goldie Hawn’s classic 1980 comedy Private Benjamin. [4]

The second of pop star Jessica Simpson’s two desperate attempts to become a top-tier big screen comedienne (the other being last year’s odious ‘Blonde Ambition’), ‘Private Valentine: Blonde & Dangerous’ (aka ‘Major Movie Star’) is pretty much as unremarkable and borderline unprofessional as one might imagine. [5]

Simpson cheerfully makes fun of herself and clearly wants to escape her sex-bomb image (the movie puts very little emphasis on her curves). [4]

When fluffy, bubble gum movie star Megan Parker suddenly finds herself broke and humiliated in the public eye, she wanders from the wreckage of a car accident and witlessly enlists in the U.S. Army hoping in vain that it will change her life. [6]

A pampered actress with a horde of agents, stylists, and sleazy family leeches trailing behind her, Megan Valentine (Jessica Simpson) has all the fame and fortune a young woman could ask for. [5]

Also starring Vivica A. Fox, Steve Guttenberg, Olesya Rulin, Cheri Oteri and Jill Marie Jones. [7]

One shouldn’t judge a book (or film) by the DVD cover, but I guess I’m a sucker for a hot-blonde in military uniform. [1]

Quote: Jessica Simpson is Megan Valentine, a pampered Hollywood starlet whom no one takes seriously. [3]

Jessica Simpson doesn’t play the heavily laden woman nearing a conjuncture in her life, and is taken in by a more than slick military ad campaign. [1]

The screenplay by newcomers April Blair and Kelly Bowe is a bustling clich? factory, pumping out a narrative that takes Megan through every possible routine that comes with a fish-out-of-water Army recruit story. [5]

Oh, and the original title - Major Movie Star - was much better. [3]

When fluffy, bubble gum movie star Megan Valentine (Jessica Simpson) suddenly finds herself broke and humiliated in the public eye, she wanders from the wreckage of a car accident and witlessly enlists in the U.S. Army hoping in vain that it will change her life. [2]
