Private Valentine: Blonde & Dangerous

Directed by Steve Miner1h 40m2008

When fluffy, bubble gum movie star Megan Valentine 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.

Our read: Private Valentine: Blonde & Dangerous (2008) reads as a cosy, kinetic, grounded comedy entry — gentle in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, redemptive in outlook.
