"It seems like everybody is getting stupider and stupider," a couple of different characters observe in The Real Blonde. Yet, as this quirky and funny new film shows, it's not a terminal condition. Go to Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 01/01/2000
3/4
The Real Blonde is a meandering movie that usually meanders in entertaining directions. It has too many characters and not much of a plot, but that didn't bother me while I was watching it. Go to Full Review Brian Costello Common Sense Media 06/23/2015

thiago s @Thiagostone Nov 15 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Michael B @BlackCloud13 04/20/2013 Fat cast, thin plot. Not terrible, not great. See more 12/12/2012 The ending was stupid!!!!!! See more 12/07/2012 At the end of the day, this is the real Hollywood. Insipidly fake and therefore not really funny. Zzzzz.... See more 09/08/2011 a title like that means lots of non-blondes walkin' around :D the only good thing was listening to Caulfield's voice -- talk about shallow *wink* See more 06/25/2011 This indie comedy has it's moments but not a patch on the directors last film.
