“I rented u0026#39;The Real Blondeu0026#39; on video at the same time that I rented u0026#39;The Curse of the Jade Scorpionu0026#39;, because my favourite actress (Elizabeth Berkley) is in both and I wished to have a quiet afternoon in watching two of my favourite screen staru0026#39;s movies. u0026#39;The Real Blondeu0026#39; was not only funny, it was well-scripted, well-acted and well… great! u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe cast all did an absolutely fine job of bringing their characters to life, despite the fact that some didnu0026#39;t get a lot of screen time. Honestly, I had no idea that Bridgette Wilson could be so funny! Iu0026#39;ve only ever seen her on TV a few times, and she didnu0026#39;t really strike a huge chord with me there. But in u0026#39;The Real Blondeu0026#39;… wow! Kathleen Turner, Daryl Hannah, Christopher Lloyd and my favourite, Elizabeth Berkley, are nothing short of hilarious as well. The satire was excellent and the ending was practically inspired. Great!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDoes anyone happen to know the title of the song that was played in the Madonna video scene? That song was goofy. I liked it! :)”
