Kirk Honeycutt The Hollywood Reporter 11/04/2004
The story here, by Andrea Wiley, Sherri A. McGee and Devon Gregory, is slapped together with such poorly drawn stereotypes and lapses in logic as to provoke not shaking bellies but shaking heads. Go to Full Review Scott Foundas Variety 10/21/2004
An anemic sitcomsitcom pilot dragged out to an excruciating 108-minute running time. Go to Full Review Kevin Crust Los Angeles Times 10/20/2004
3/5
The plot is slender but serviceable, and under Leslie Small's attentive direction, not only do Mo'Nique and Smith excel, but those playing salon staffers -- Taraji Henson, Keiko Agena, Cee Cee Michaela et al -- also make lively impressions.
