The Real Blonde Audience Reviews

Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
RavenGlamDVDCollector I'm sorry, for I just read the review of the guy who rented those two Elizabeth Berkley videos and gave this one a glowing report. But no, guy, there's what you didn't consider. There is a whole lot of talent and beauty that went onto this movie, but what came out the other end? A big bore. Yawn. Zzzzzzz and zzzzzzz some more. Really, what a disappointment. I took one look at the trailer and thought I'd be on to a winner. No. What a loser. It doesn't hold my interest. I feel less than feathers for the male characters. Of the male cast, the best performance is by the little old dog at the end, I sure felt something for him. Catherine Keener. Uhm, yes, she shows spark. I suppose she plays a role model. Sad that our freaking world has produced a society where 'girls' (in the true sense of the word) now are outdated, passé, in favor of 'efficient women' who strive to take care of themselves (and damn well can, but that is not the point, the point is that it is tragic that the 21st Century's ideals will have to be thrown out, for 'girly girls' cannot survive in The Big Nasty.Daryl Hannah. Ooh, SPLASH. You could even stick with her till DANCING AT THE BLUE IGUANA. But as far as the erotic heroine goes, here she is a sad disappointment. Sorry.Bridgette Wilson. Ethereally beautiful. Elizabeth SHOWGIRLS Berkley. Striking performance. Especially that seen- from-the-sidewalk scene.The male characters/actors: one big boring bore! What weakling bores!
bob the moo Joe is an out of work actor who is also struggling with his relationship with Mary who has lots of rage inside. Joe's actor friend Bob has just got a job on a soap opera but is caught up in his desire for a `real' blonde despite having fallen for the available model Sahara. The films follows their lives in the world of minor celebrity.Despite having done good with the subject of film making in `Living in Oblivion', the director doesn't do as well when it comes to the world of the minor celebrity. The plot is a little jumbled – it wants to make fun of the world but also seriously follow the people it makes fun of in their relationships. Also it makes fun of Bob's acting but yet has plenty of respect for Joe simply because he keeps quoting `Death of a Salesman'. The satirical edge is nice and produces some funny moments but the relationship stuff is muddled.There are plenty of famous cameos and most are good. Lloyd, Turner, Leary, Buscemi, Chappelle, Von Bargen etc all show their faces. In the leads Modine is OK but because the director doesn't know if he's part of the joke or a serious character then we don't know how to approach him either. Keener tries hard and is OK but Caulfield is the best of the bunch simply because we know he's meant to be a bit of a comedy figure.The film manages to loose it's laughs in a sea of serious asides. The worst being the theme of the old black woman and her dog getting stolen. We keep going back to her and she has the last theme in the film – why? If there was a message I must be too dumb to get it and it certainly didn't really fit in with the rest of the movie.Overall this has enough good moments to justify watching but it clearly lacks focus and loses it's way really easily.
SpringsteenRules This is an OK movie. Nothing great, but worth a look if it's on cable. The real reason to watch this is to see the GORGEOUS Bridget Wilson. She is one of the most beautiful women in the world today. She even shows a VERY SHORT glimpse of one breast!! Check her out!
un The director did a good job on simple plot like Living in Oblivion. The Real Blond may be too complex for him too handle. The elements of the movie do not work together very well (at least as expected), resulting in the weakness of coherence between two main couples, and other small episodes.
