A large ensemble of talented British actors is wasted in this disappointing comedy by Simon Beaufoy, the scribe of the Full Monty.

| Original Score: D+ | Mar 29, 2011

The whole enterprise is awash in a combined farcical obviousness and drippy sentimentality to induce more audience groans than laughs.

In the end it may be nothing but hot air, but like a warming gust of conditioned wind after that cold morning shower, Blow Dry feels good (enough).

The half-hearted release mirrors the efforts put in by nearly everyone involved.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 21, 2001

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.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 9, 2001

Marred by mixing a supposedly touching and tragic family story with a half-blown, numbly campy send-up of the world of hair, Blow Dry just doesn't jibe.

| Mar 9, 2001

Blow Dry seems both overplotted and underimagined.
