Splendor *** (1999, Kathleen Robertson, Johnathon Schaech, Matt Keeslar, Kelly Macdonald, Eric Mabius) – Classic Movie Review 4047

Kathleen Robertson stars as a mid-20s girl named Veronica who decides to spice up her life by introducing her two boyfriends Abel and Zed (Johnathon Schaech, Matt Keeslar) to each other, creating a harmonious love triangle.

Robertson proves blondes have more fun in Hollywood in writer-producer-director Gregg Araki’s patchy but well set-up, witty and often amusing 1999 romantic sex comedy for grown-ups. And of course it is provocative too, rated R for sexual material, language and some drug use.

Also in the cast are Kelly Macdonald, Eric Mabius, Dan Gatto, Linda Kim, Audrey Ruttan and Nathan Bexton.

Gregg Araki is also known for The Living End (1992), Totally F***d Up (1993) and The Doom Generation (1995), Nowhere (1997),  Mysterious Skin (2004), Smiley Face (20017), Kaboom (2010), White Bird in a Blizzard (2014).
