For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,
Tymon Sutton
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Independent films like these make me want to rip out my eyes because movies like this are bad for your eyes, ears, brain, and entire life for that matter. The Real Blonde is some artsy-fartsy deal that tries to get people to think with a hippy-minded worldview. Handpicked out of a hat, the cast members do not fit with each other, everything seems out of place and nothing makes much sense. I can't think of anyone to recommend this to besides left-wing liberals that want to be entertained without the interference of big name corporations telling the filmmakers what to do.

The business with the old lady and her lost-then-found dog does have a reason for being in the movie. It's always a hefty clue when a filmmaker places something at the beginning or end that it IS something especially significant. In this case it has to do with the entire meat of the story (not to be confused with its distractions) and is emphasized by its placement at BOTH the beginning AND the end of the movie. The tiny, seemingly random tale of the old woman and her dog thereby brackets everyone else's story. Why?The central question of the movie is, is simple comfortable domesticity with another being enough? Enough to give up your ideals, however out of whack they may be, enough to really confront your personal issues, enough to turn down the chance to explore intriguing new territories with someone else? Is it worth everything you go through and give up just to save a relationship that seems closer to mere companionship than to your earth-shattering romantic fantasies? One look at the old lady's face when she stares at her dog's empty dish, and then again when she sees him limping back to her, will give you the filmmaker's answer.

This is a bizarre movie, an intelligent and and fairly subtle story wrapped in a glossy Melrose Place setting. OK, so the title didn´t have much to do with the movie itself, maybe the intended message got a bit lost on the way; but overall it comes out as a solid and entertaining piece of film making.

With one of my favorite actors Matthew Modine in this film, I was prepared for a pleasant movie experience. The week story line wasn't enough to keep the viewer interested and I found myself actually embarrassed for Mr. Modine. This turned out being a very shallow and unfunny effort. This one was difficult to sit through. I kept thinking that it would get better but that never happened.
