John Leonard New York Magazine/Vulture ... Shirley MacLaine, Parker Posey, and Shannen Doherty enjoy themselves shamelessly in this catty account of a corporate war between competing cosmetics companies. Jan 31, 2018 Full Review Chase Burns The Stranger (Seattle, WA) It runs like a beauty pageant from top to bottom and Parker Posey plays a rival makeup lady. I'll watch anything with Parker Posey in it. Dec 9, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member They made Mary Kay look like an uptight, arrogant bitch. They also set women back a few decades with the way they had every single woman seem overly-excitable, dense, and very one-dimensional. NOT every woman is like this, and NOT every Mary Kay rep is either. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member I expected a fun, campy-type film with such talents as MacLaine and Posey, but this movie was so campy that it became cheesy. Not a good cheese, like brie or gouda, but more like a processed cheese. Although some of you may think I'm talking about the portrayal of the beauty consultants (like the one portrayed by Doherty), having been around them, I can tell you that is one thing in this film that is, sadly, realistic. This bumble bee couldn't get off the ground. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member I know, what was P.P. thinking? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member actually a really good business movie about a corporate icon as prolific as Col. Sanders. Not bad considering an obvious limited budget. Both Parker & Sherley did a great job... even Dohrety did decent. A must see for an indepenent Beauty Control,Mary Kay reps, or any small business owner.
