Customer Reviews: a fun chick flick January 5, 2008 Seeker "Beauty Shop" is totally satisfying light fare. I cannot imagine any female not having a good time watching this movie. Queen Latifah definitely has the acting moxie to carry this story as its star. Kevin Bacon is wonderfully fun as the gay hair guru. Get this and enjoy. Feel Good Film Of The Year July 12, 2007 Amy (Glasgow) Before I saw the movie i wasn't sure i liked the story line and it wasn't really advertised well on the tv! I was a bit relctant to watch this film as the reviews i read said it was a bit poor but in the end i felt i should watch to see for myself and once you have read this review i suggest you watch it for yourself! You may have a different opinion from me. br /Once I had watched this film and actually know what the storyline was about, i loved this film! It is the feel good film of the year and has a really nice touch! For you people who maybe haven't watched this film yet , the storyline is about A woman called Gina who works in a Hair salon, when her boss starts treating her badly she then decides to create her own Beauty Shop! Along the way she falls in love, something terrible happens to the shop and her daughter figures out her true passion in life! br / br /The actors in this movie are terrific and well - known and really do their job! They really make sure you get the feeling and meaning of the storyline! Queen Lattifah is very good in this, her own personality suits this character very well! br / br /Over all I would recccomend you buy this what ever age you are! It will have you in tears, fits of laughter and much more! Superficial - yet funny enough to get by with it November 18, 2005 Daniel Jolley (Shelby, North Carolina USA) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful If you examine this movie with a critical eye, you#x27;ll find a pretty lightweight, formulaic plot, a lot of superficial characters, and more than one questionable performance #8211; but the critical eye cannot gauge the comedic beauty shop atmosphere or quantify the aura Queen Latifah exudes over the whole movie. There are ample doses of humor spread throughout the entire film, and thus Beauty Shop succeeds fairly well #8211; albeit unevenly #8211; as a comedy. I actually watched this film because Mena Suvari is in it, and I just have to say: Mena, the magic is gone. What in the world happened to bring Mena down to the level (nay, below the level) of Alicia Silverstone? pThe story#x27;s pretty simple. Gina (Queen Latifah) is a hairstylist for the fabulous Jorge #8211; until he pushes her past her breaking point and she makes a few references to certain posterior body parts and leaves. Let#x27;s just stop and talk about Jorge. Just when I was beginning to take Kevin Bacon seriously as an actor, he shows up in what has to be the most excruciatingly embarrassing role I#x27;ve encountered in years. Anyway, Gina decides to open her own shop. It#x27;s rough going early on, but she and a bevy of outspoken women soon turn her dream into a reality. Oh, there are more problems later on, of course, but it doesn#x27;t take her (and her hair crack conditioner) very long to start stealing some of Jorge#x27;s best customers away from him. This is where Mena Suvari and Andie MacDowell come in #8211; I don#x27;t think either one will want to put these roles anywhere near the top of their acting resumes. Mena is particularly disappointing, and it didn#x27;t help her or the story when her character suddenly underwent a complete personality change for seemingly no reason whatsoever toward the end. Then there#x27;s Alicia Silverstone; I don#x27;t know if she can possibly come back from this performance. She#x27;s the white girl trying to fit in with her black co-workers, and her performance just gets more and more painful to watch as time passes (and what is with that terrible Southern accent?). The performance of Little JJ as a little playa on constant booty patrol will help get you past the bad parts, though #8211; he#x27;s hilarious.pNaturally, there#x27;s a little romance thrown in the mix, but you#x27;ll spend more time trying to make Darnelle look like the Keshia Knight Pulliam you remember from The Cosby Show than worrying about whether Gina can make a love connection with the electrician living above the boutique. I know I haven#x27;t said a lot of good things about the movie, but most of the good things come from the interaction of the outspoken women inside the beauty shop. There are some real characters in that bunch, and they do keep the comedy flowing. Basically, Beauty Shop is an average movie with a slightly better than average level of comedy. Diasppointed December 19, 2005 0 out of 1 found this review helpful I really looked forward to seeing Beauty Shop. It appeared to be promising with several good actress/actors and the general plot had scope for a good film. Unfortuntely it turned out to be a poor imitation of Barbara Shop 2 and never really got of the ground for me hence my disappointment. Fun!! March 3, 2009 F. Fongang I've seen this movie. Good family movie. br /Fun, romance, friendship. Everything you need for a Sunday afternoon at home
