dekightful movie to watch at 6 am when I could not sleep, flicking channels and it caught me! Lots of fun, and a bit of `feel-good` sentimentality which was Ok!! Good acting of course!

It was fun to watch and a bit sad in parts, but not so sad that it became too heavy. I loved the way it came together in the end. Makes you ask yourself, "which would I rather hang on to...my pride or my family?".

Blow Dry is a great movie! It is very funny and has an extremely moving storyline underneath. Alan Rickman is great! So are the rest of the cast. But he is just fantastic and can make you feel sad, happy and laugh. I could go on for ever about how great he is, not to mention sexy.
