Critic Reviews

Stephen Hunter

It's fun. Hey, it's almost spring, Rickman is fabulous and so is Richardson. Warren Clarke is continually funny. And Heidi Klum alone will melt the snows of yesteryear. Read full review

Jonathan Rosenbaum

This comedy-drama was written by Simon Beaufoy, who brought us "The Full Monty," and it has some of the same gamy mix of alternative sexuality and working-class heart. Read full review

Film.com Robert Horton

It may be possible that people who never go to the movies will stumble across Blow Dry and find it a charming way to spend an hour and a half, but the rest of us will have the ending written in our heads by the end of the first five minutes. Read full review

Bob Graham

At least a half monty. Read full review

Jay Carr

The characters, in short, are never given enough dimension, enough chance to develop the individual tics and eccentricities on which this kind of comedy thrives.

Michael O'Sullivan

Although filled with fey, flamboyant characters, the stereotype of the gay hairdresser seems to have been meticulously expunged. Read full review

Hazel-Dawn Dumpert

There are gruelingly unfunny gags, an unspeakable soundtrack featuring BTO and Billy Ocean, and Victoria's Secret mannequin Heidi Klum as a model who demands that her pussy hair be styled into a bushy red heart. Read full review
