Mike Clark USA Today "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.

Audience Member Fat cast, thin plot. Not terrible, not great. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member The ending was stupid!!!!!! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member At the end of the day, this is the real Hollywood. Insipidly fake and therefore not really funny. Zzzzz.... Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member 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* Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This indie comedy has it's moments but not a patch on the directors last film. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Stupid enough to be mentioned. Nice musics, it's the only thing that saves this movie.
