It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

The movie is wildly uneven but lively and timely - in its own surreal way

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

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.

I did enjoy the film. However, Gerard Depardieu's character is an anthropologist whose main focus of study are the Maori of Aotearoa/New Zealand. Being from New Zealand, I have grown up with Maori culture. So it affected my appreciation of the film when the character shows a Maori tattoo which is blue. BLUE?!?! Blue is NOT the colour of a Maori Tattoo! And there is a scene where the character recreates a haka - - but in an extremely incorrect way. A Maori haka is a dance or war; it is meant to show strength, empower your warriors and scare the opposition. One doesn't run from side to side slapping oneself for no reason and throwing ones arms in the air like a monkey. It is offensive. Gah! Who did their research?! Bimboland does tell a good story. But please do some effective research, lest you alienate your international audience.

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.

I can understand why this movie received such a low rating. Women will be offended by the blatant sexism in the film, and the plot is very shallow. The film is kind of like one of those old Love That Bob series with Robert Cummings. The slapstick situations that are, well, funny. However, being a normal male that likes to look at hot women, I enjoyed the film. It also reminded me of Superman, where Lois Lane loved Superman, she didn't like Clark Kent though. Gerard Depardieu doesn't like Judith Godreche as a brilliant research person with her hair up and wearing glasses, but when she dresses up like a Bimbo and acts like one--he loves her! Ok, so it wasn't one of those sophisticated deep films. Even though it probably deserves its low IMDB rating of 4, I'm ashamed to admit it--I liked it.
