If you're considering watching this film to learn more about
Anna Nicole Smith know up front that it offers little more than the tabloids
offered and perhaps less. If you're watching it hoping to catch some exposed
flesh on the actress who plays her you'll be disappointed as well. If, on the
other hand, you enjoy made for TV movies that barely touch on the reality of
the person the movie is about you're in for a treat.
For anyone who doesn't know who Anna Nicole Smith was she
was a single mother and stripper who catapulted her way to fame and fortune
with breast implants and a dreams of fame and fortune. She achieved those goals
when she romanced a millionaire who despite his children's disapproval married
her and took her into his home. There she parlayed her looks and figure into a
modeling career and eventual centerfold stardom in Playboy.
But, as is usually the case, that led to problems with
drinking and drugs. When he husband dies and the family fights her over his
estate things go from bad to worse. Eventually she went on to more notorious
fame as an empty headed star of her own reality show where each week people
tuned in to see this train wreck of a person on a downward spiral.
I'm sorry but I never found the whole story of Smith to be
that interesting at all. Sure she was an attractive woman but with the
opportunities she was presented with you have to wonder why it is that anyone
given those chances wouldn't take advantage of them instead of squandering
them. In the end she became a sad caricature of the person she portrayed
instead of a living, breathing human being. Even in her death the vultures
preyed upon her corpse trying to get anything they could from her celebrity. It
was a sad life and this movie doesn't do anything to show a good or a bad side
of her. It just lays there offering nothing.
