I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Unbelievably impracticable fairy tale. Real life is ruled by crude materialism, substitution of vital interests and cheap whores. All this was shown in the middle of the movie. And this is true - to the bone. Some moments of movie are really disgusting in terms of morale. For example, mother of Cécile's bitchy girlfriend, that party after death of her husband, with immediate sale of his property. Oh, and this frozen dumb professor, that can't recognize the face of one woman. I was very surprised that he choose Cécile at final scene. As for me, Cécile is far more attractive and charming than bitchy Bridget.PS Sorry for my English, because this language is not my native one.

Cecile Bussy, a university student working on her thesis, has made important contributions to further her knowledge by going to remote areas to discover primitive people in their habitat. Unfortunately, nothing seems to stop the advancement of progress as Cecile returns to find the natives enjoying modern conveniences.Cecile is told of a change at the helm of the university, where Laurent Gaspard will be her boss. She is a dowdy dresser, feeling an attraction to Gaspard, she is told by the popular Alex Baretto she must act as a bimbo if she wants to win Gaspard's affections. Alex supervises Cecile's transformation from a scholar into a vapid blonde joke.Not having a clue as to what "Bimboland" was about,we took a chance in watching. The film, as directed by Ariel Zeitoun will certainly did nothing for women. Just the mere idea to become a "bimbo" is unimaginable, but it is more than an attitude, it is basically to play and act dumb in order to get favors from rich men. Judith Godreche, Gerard Depardieu and Aure Atika will not add anything to their resumes based on this movie.

I love this movie and I am not offended with it even though it may be regarded by some people as a "sexist movie". What's the use of being offended by the facts of life - men do usually prefer women that look great to women that have brains. And this is basically the theme the movie explores in its own funny way, with quite an optimistic ending leaving enough hope for happiness for women with brains as well. But my favorite scene in the movie is one a the very beginning and not related to the main theme - when Cecile returns to her newly discovered sensational Amazon tribe and finds them already enjoying fruits of civilization. That is an absolutely brilliant scene, in my opinion, and it alone makes the movie worth watching.

This film has some nice and funny scenes, and a setup for an interesting story, but unfortunately the scenes do not combine into a story. Actually there are fragments of three stories: Cécile's research, the romance between Cécile and Laurent, and the friendship between Cécile and Alex. A brilliant film could have told them all, a decent film one or two of them, but this one completes none of them.Some things just seem to be missing: E.g., both the quarrel between Cécile and Alex and their reconciliation were pretty unmotivated; and we did not know that Alex should be saved from the operation, so the ending was an anticlimax. Also, we hear about Alex' mother, and it sounds meaningful, but it has no effect on the rest of the film.Of course, for me the main attraction of the film is Judith Godrèche, and she is beautiful as usual (more as Cécile than as Brigitte, so Bimbos don't work for everyone), and she was in every scene, so that made up somewhat for the story problems (for me).
