Kirk Honeycutt The Hollywood Reporter The story here, by Andrea Wiley, Sherri A. McGee and Devon Gregory, is slapped together with such poorly drawn stereotypes and lapses in logic as to provoke not shaking bellies but shaking heads. Nov 4, 2004 Full Review Scott Foundas Variety An anemic sitcomsitcom pilot dragged out to an excruciating 108-minute running time. Oct 21, 2004 Full Review Kevin Crust Los Angeles Times The plot is slender but serviceable, and under Leslie Small's attentive direction, not only do Mo'Nique and Smith excel, but those playing salon staffers -- Taraji Henson, Keiko Agena, Cee Cee Michaela et al -- also make lively impressions. Rated: 3/5 Oct 20, 2004 Full Review Kam Williams Black Talent News Coiffure competition at center of sibling rivalry comedy! Rated: 2/4 Jan 24, 2007 Full Review Luke Y. Thompson New Times stars Mo'nique, who's both fatter and sassier than [Queen] Latifah, but alas, not a whole lot funnier. Oct 28, 2004 Full Review E! Online This chop shop is a tad shabby.
