Tom DiCillo's love-go-round stars Matthew Modine and Catherine Keener as an unmarried, New York City couple whose relationship has stalled: should they get married? Have a kid? What's certain is that Modine's character, Joe, is an aspiring actor with no prospects and Keener's character, Mary, is a photographer's assistant with little joy. Joe leads us to Bob (Maxwell Caulfield), a soap opera star on a fetishistic search for a non-bottle blonde. Bob's quest is briefly satisfied by a costar (Daryl Hannah), but it is another lover, a model named Sahara (Bridgette Wilson), for whom he may have repressed feelings beneath his gruff exterior. Sahara, a favorite subject for Mary's shutterbug employer (Marlo Thomas), brings us full circle to Joe's girl again. The net portrait is of a couple of men who burn up a lot of energy diverting true passion toward junk causes (Bob's Freudian hang-up, Joe's knee-jerk politics) and a couple of women who struggle to say what they want. Typical of DiCillo, the film has its own internal distractions and strained credibility: is it necessary, for instance, to have every important male in Mary's life betray her with a come-on? But despite such minor problems, The Real Blonde is a rare New York relationship film that is neither twinkly nor cruel. --Tom Keogh

I recently pulled this one off the shelf and watched it again; it was actually even better than I remembered it. The plot deals with Joe (Matthew Modine) & Mary (Catherine Keener), a couple who have been together for 6 years, but definitely seem to be having their share of troubles. Joe is a struggling actor who works as a waiter to make some much needed cash; Mary is a makeup/hairstylist who has a few hangups of her own and regularly sees a therapist. During the course of the film, the relationship ... Read More

The Real Blonde is a real Gem. I missed this one in the theatres but I'm glad I caught it on at home. In the slog of bad, over budgeted, over promoted special effects laden bad movies, The Real Blonde is a true diamond in the rough. It's one of the best movies I've seen in awhile.

Where's this movie been hiding? I've never heard of it until recently.
'The Real Blonde' is a behind-the-scenes look at the bottom rung of the film/television industry. It's a gentle, light-hearted view of various characters who work in a supporting occupation in the acting world, and at actors working, not-working, trying to break in, directing and watching the end result.
Michael Modine stars as Joe, a waiter trying and trying to break into acting. The closest it seems he ... Read More

This somewhat entertaing (yet ultimately forgettable) romantic comedy/ drama presents the daily life of an average NY young couple, played by Matthew Modine and Katherine Keener. Modine`s character tries to become a sucessful actor, but most of the time he just fails miserably and ends up feeling an untalented loser. His girlfriend then questions their relationship and worries about their future as a couple. "The Real Blonde" is just another hip and mildly clever look at NY people and their daily routines. ...

If you don't enjoy this movie, you won't enjoy watching HBO's "Sex & the City" either -- there's no question about it . I jumped back to some scenes again and again (like Bob's fiasco with the real blonde, Madonna's music bit, the self-defense class' RRQ ratings, Sahara and the foreign male model, etc...) and I laughed my butt off every time. Anyway, it's not surprising that "The Real Blonde" was underrated, given that "Scary Movie" was a box office hit. Tastes differ, that's all.
