Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Susan Stark, Detroit News: Read more
Al Brumley, Dallas Morning News: More interaction involving the hairdressers and the townspeople - along with the deletion of one or two meaningless side plots - might have given Blow Dry more body. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: Blow Dry seems both overplotted and underimagined. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Another case of when bad scripts happen to good actors. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: Despite its dollops of good-natured humor and sentiment, Blow Dry is likely to play better on the tube as a likable-enough diversion. Read more
Louis B. Parks, Houston Chronicle: It doesn't matter if you know or care nothing about hairstyling. You'll probably enjoy this movie more the less you care about hair. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: Apparently [the town inhabitants] haven't heard of the healing properties of chocolate or male stripping. Read more
Gene Seymour, Newsday: Director Paddy Breathnach, who made the criminally underrated I Went Down, struggles to counteract the hackneyed plotting with visual grace. All the actors likewise struggle to rise above the mawkish sentimentality. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Blow Dry is enjoyable in a low-key way, but it's far from an unqualified hit, and lacks the infectious energy of Beaufoy's earlier effort. Read more
Bob Graham, San Francisco Chronicle: Few things can be counted on to lift a person's spirits better than a good haircut. If Blow Dry isn't quite so sure a bet, it probably comes close enough. Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Read more
Susan Wloszczyna, USA Today: The script by Simon Beaufoy of The Full Monty fame is far more soapy than bubbly as it concentrates on extended family entanglements and allows its comic potential to be bleached out by a ponderous mawkish streak. Read more
Robert Koehler, Variety: It's not a good hair day for Blow Dry, in which The Full Monty writer Simon Beaufoy tries to mesh melodrama and camp, but comes up with merely a fraction of the inspiration of his previous international hit. Read more
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post: It's fun. Read more
