Movie

Private Valentine: Blonde & Dangerous

2008 · 100 min

A frothy, feel-good fish-out-of-water comedy where silly gags give way to a gentle, uplifting story of self-improvement.

Tagline: The Army Will Never Be The Same
Overview: 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.
