The airhead comedy was Bublé's second film, after a bit part as a singer in Duets (2000) starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Huey Lewis, and followed by a role as Hap in The Snow Walker (2003).{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=A0JVeoXslZ8C&pg=PA75 |page=75 |title=The Book of Lists: The Original Compendium of Curious Information |author1=David Wallechinsky |author2=Amy Wallace |author3=Ira Basen |author4=Jane Farrow |publisher=Random House of Canada |year=2006 |isbn=0-7704-3009-0}} The soundtrack, which was moderately successful, was soon followed by his first major label release Michael Bublé (2003).{{cite book |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fkTGhR_vyJ8C&pg=PA773 |page=773 |chapter=Michael Bublé |title=A Biographical Guide to the Great Jazz and Pop Singers |author=Will Friedwald |publisher=Random House of Canada |year=2010 |isbn=978-0-375-42149-5}}
Plot
Meg Peters just cannot seem to find Mr. Right, until one day she bleaches her hair blonde. Men begin to swarm around, but none she feels is Mr. Right until she meets crooner Van (Michael Bublé) at a local club. The plot thickens when she also meets an old high-school friend, now a wealthy hunk (Brody Hutzler).{{cite web |url=http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/288845/Totally-Blonde/overview |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071209053008/http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/288845/Totally-Blonde/overview |url-status=dead |archive-date=2007-12-09 |department=Movies & TV Dept. |work=The New York Times |publisher=Baseline & All Movie Guide |author=Perry Seibert |date=2007 |title=Totally Blonde (2001) |access-date=2011-04-07}} Typical situations follow, such as a scene where she stands up Van for a date with Hutzler, and Van ends up making out with her girlfriend played by Maeve Quinlan.{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=GSLMSKdMyu8C&pg=PA165 |page=165 |title=The Healthy Edit: Creative Editing Techniques for Perfecting Your Movie |author=John Rosenberg |publisher=Focal Press |year=2010 |isbn=978-0-240-81446-9}} In the end, everything turns out alright with Meg and Van living happily ever after.
