Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
It's a bouncy, funny picture that I enjoyed -- one that mostly eludes the perils of sequelitis and spinoff-itis, a lusty comedy about the importance of looking good and getting the right scissors in the right hands.

fresh:
Feel-good entertainment that is no less enjoyable for being somewhat predictable.

rotten:
Its lackluster efforts to be raunchily topical about issues of race, class and sexuality leave its talented cast stranded without a paddle.

I thought this was too much like the pilot for a sitcom.

As in the other two movies, the plot is a thin cardboard box carrying an assortment of observational doughnuts.
