The Real Blonde Review

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 can come is to act in a Madonna video. It's one frustrating rejection after another. Catherine Keener at her best stars as Joe's long-suffering girlfriend Mary, who isn't sure she's ready for commitment, unsure about Joe's lack of success as an actor, and deals with it by getting really into her self-defense class, and by continuing with her therapy, at least until her therapist turns the table on her, and explores how he really feels about her!

This is an ensemble effort, and several of the other plot lines are equally as good. Maxwell Caulfield plays Bob, a friend of Joe who's elevated himself to star in a really bad soap opera. Daryl Hannah is Kelly, who's also in the soap opera, and the running gag is that she threatens to commit suicide in every episode. Bob's got this obsession to sleep with a 'real blonde'. He's had any number of conquests, but all of the bottle blondes just ain't the real thing. Elizabeth Berkley, Marlo Thomas, Buck Henry, Christopher Lloyd, Kathleen Turner, Denis Leary and Steve Buscemi all make appearances to great effect.

Tom DiCillo, who has directed 'Stranger Than Paradise', 'Living in Oblivion' and 'Box of Moon Light', interesting efforts all, is at the top of his game in 'The Real Blonde'.

I'm not sure why this film has been overlooked. It's a minor gem. Highly recommended. Four and one-half stars.
