Dave Giannini

Although that mashup of tones can be difficult for some and the film takes a few minutes to really dive into the plot, it all coalesces together in a rewarding way.

Shampoo is light and impudent, yet, like the comedies that live on, it's a bigger picture in retrospect.

There's nothing not to like in this sex farce-plus.

It masterfully creates a snapshot of an era, documenting familiar movements and lifestyles and attitudes (sexual politics over the governmental kind).

I don't know if Warren Beatty has ever been funnier.
