BLOW DRY (2001) ¢ ¢ ¢
D: Paddy Breathnach
Alan Rickman, Natasha Richardson, Rachel Griffiths,
Josh Hartnet, Bill Nighy, Rachel Leigh Cook,
Rosemary Harris, Hugh Bonneville, Heidi Klum
This is like the "Strictly Ballroom" of hairstyling movies (a subgenre if there ever was one), with Rickman, Richardson, Griffiths and Hartnett playing the hometown heroes in the all-England salon competition. It's a crowd-pleaser, for sure, not much more, maybe, but certainly nothing less. If you don't stick around to see the makeover Alan Rickman performs on Rachel Griffiths, you'll really be missing something.
Alan Rickman
