Bland film about blonde ambition

BEING blond and bland is not an appealing trait, whether you're a person, a beer or a movie. Walk of Shame is a bland film about a blond person - and as it turns out, that's not a good thing either. This is a comedy (and I use that term loosely) that spends the entire time trying to milk laughs from a story about a woman who is enduring the mother of all bad days. By the end, viewers will not care about her or the outcome - they will simply be thankful that the ordeal is finally over.

Meghan Miles (Elizabeth Banks) is a hotshot TV anchor in LA who is up for a big promotion to a national network. She's smart, pretty and fully confident in her ability to deliver the news. Then her fiance dumps her and her hopes for promotion are dashed. Suddenly (or so the movie would have us believe), she's a loser with few prospects.

Her friends Rose (Gillian Jacobs) and Denise (Sarah Wright Olsen) propose a girls night out and suggest that in order to ensure a good time, she squeeze into the skintight canary yellow dress that Denise is wearing - which asks us to believe that she has no skintight dresses of her own. Quicker than you can say Hangover 3, they get wasted in a nightclub and Meghan - who has previously described herself as a "good girl" - ends up in the sack with good-looking barman and all-round nice guy Gordon (James Marsden).
