Washington Post
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. - 75
Philadelphia Inquirer
If Blow Dry isn't a rousing triumph on the order "of The Full Monty" and "Brassed Off," Rickman, Richardson and Nighy make sure it's a winning film. - 50
Baltimore Sun
A feel-good us-against-them tale that panders mercilessly to its audience, yet displays a few moments of honest humor. - 50
TV Guide Magazine
The result is formulaic, shamelessly manipulative and surprisingly watchable. - 50
Entertainment Weekly
Written by Mr. ''Full Monty'' himself, Simon Beaufoy, and, like ''Monty,'' sprinkles pixie dust over the heads of worn out local folk. - 50
San Francisco Chronicle
At least a half monty. - 50
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. - 30
Austin Chronicle
A limp and lackluster affair that telegraphs its feel-good smarm miles in advance.
