Mr. Showbiz Kevin Maynard

Crawford's such a good-hearted guy, you can't help but want a cut from his clippers.

San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle

Aims to do nothing but please, and it accomplishes its modest aim with charm and intelligence.

TV Guide Ken Fox

The film's potshots are perfectly aimed.

Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan

A cheerful and smart mock documentary about hairdressing and Hollywood that knows enough not to take itself too seriously.

Rolling Stone Peter Travers

Irresistibly silly.

Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum

More a sampling of previous crowd-pleasers...than a fashion statement all its own.

Charlotte Observer Lawrence Toppman

Easy to like.

New York Daily News Jack Mathews

One of those bright ideas for a TV sketch that convinces someone it's too good to waste on the small screen. It's not.

USA Today Staff [Not Credited]

Pleasing piffle.

The New York Times Stephen Holden

As it rubs our noses in our own fascination with vanity and the silliest values in life, it's charming enough to make us like it.

LA Weekly Chuck Wilson

How nice to see a new comic lead (Ferguson) with the confidence not to hog the screen.

TNT RoughCut Christopher Brandon

(Ferguson is) so cheeky and effeminate, he becomes more of a caricature than an actual person.

Film.com Robert Horton

Does a lot of little stuff right, and it sparkles at times.

Salon.com Daniel Mangin

As light as a squirt of styling mousse.

New York Post Lou Lumenick

Has its share of laughs.

Newsweek Ted Gideonse

Enough already with the faux documentary!

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Paula Nechak

An innocuous, hit-and-miss affair.

Dallas Observer Jean Oppenheimer

A mildly amusing romp.

Boston Globe Jay Carr

What saves it is that it's lighter than mousse and is animated by a handful of engaging performers.

Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

Never quite attains takeoff velocity.

Village Voice Amy Taubin

A sub-sitcom stretched to an interminable 85 minutes.

Chicago Reader Jonathan Rosenbaum

Laughless, brainless, styleless, and clueless.

Miami Herald Phoebe Flowers

An inept comedy.
