Mr. Showbiz
Kevin Maynard
Crawford's such a good-hearted guy, you can't help but want a cut from his clippers.
75
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Aims to do nothing but please, and it accomplishes its modest aim with charm and intelligence.

70
TV Guide
Ken Fox
The film's potshots are perfectly aimed.

70
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
A cheerful and smart mock documentary about hairdressing and Hollywood that knows enough not to take itself too seriously.
70
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Irresistibly silly.
67
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
More a sampling of previous crowd-pleasers...than a fashion statement all its own.

63
Charlotte Observer
Lawrence Toppman
Easy to like.

63
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.

63
USA Today
Staff [Not Credited]
Pleasing piffle.
60
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.

60
LA Weekly
Chuck Wilson
How nice to see a new comic lead (Ferguson) with the confidence not to hog the screen.

60
TNT RoughCut
Christopher Brandon
(Ferguson is) so cheeky and effeminate, he becomes more of a caricature than an actual person.
50
Film.com
Robert Horton
Does a lot of little stuff right, and it sparkles at times.

50
Salon.com
Daniel Mangin
As light as a squirt of styling mousse.

50
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Has its share of laughs.
50
Newsweek
Ted Gideonse
Enough already with the faux documentary!

50
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Paula Nechak
An innocuous, hit-and-miss affair.

50
Dallas Observer
Jean Oppenheimer
A mildly amusing romp.

50
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
What saves it is that it's lighter than mousse and is animated by a handful of engaging performers.

50
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Never quite attains takeoff velocity.

30
Village Voice
Amy Taubin
A sub-sitcom stretched to an interminable 85 minutes.

30
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Laughless, brainless, styleless, and clueless.

25
Miami Herald
Phoebe Flowers
An inept comedy.
