Movie Reviews of Blow Dry
Movie Review: It's like "Whacky Races" of Hair Dressing Competition
Summary: 4 Stars
I have not attended a hairdressing competition before and I found many of the events in this movie too comical to be realistic. Like the melting comb, the burning hairdo, etc., unbelievable but gave us some good laughs. Shelly's illness could have given a good credibility as a serious movie but it was touched very lightly. Nor the subject on family conflict, differences, and reconcilliation. I would have delighted in seeing Josh Hartnett's role as a barber (or a hairdresser) in a more defined part of the story, that is, if he is making a career out of it or just simply doing it as part of the family business. Anyway, it's a good movie to divert your attention for a while. ...Movie Review: A pleasant surprise
Summary: 4 Stars
Normally, this type of film wouldn't appeal to me, but because Alan Rickman is in it, there'd be no question that I'd watch it. Rickman sometimes does the weirdest films, and though he's exceptional in them, the film itself bombs. And though this film wasn't out in theaters for very long, I didn't find it to be a bomb at all. The main plot is very entertaining and well put together, and the subplot, though depressing, brings happy tears to your eyes by the end. I thought the whole film was well balanced and fun to watch over and over again, even if you're not a Rickman fan!Movie Review: Cover is deceiving
Summary: 4 Stars
"Blow Dry" is a charming movie about a hairdressing competition in a small English town. The cover shows the two young cast members, but the film really features--and would most appeal to--more "mature" viewers. The cast includes Alan Rickman, Vanessa Richardson and Bill Nighy. Ancient professional and personal rivalries surface. It's sweet and funny--a nice light movie.Movie Review: A Real Pleaser
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a feel good movie from beginning to end. It's made with equal parts of melodrama, camp and comedy and has a great, finger- popping sound track. It's a spoof of all competitions and competitors that take themselves too seriously, while at the same time celebrating love and eccentricity. It left me smiling and wanting more.Movie Review: Alan Rickman
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a comedy in some spots and drama in others but it worked. This film moved at just the right rate and let the characters develop naturally. Alan Rickman and Natasha Richardson were especially good in this film. Rachel Griffith had guts in this movie. The hair styling competition was funny. The ending was good.
