hyped garbage
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
BARBERSHOP was not a bad film, don't get me wrong, or think I'm bashing Ice Cube here, but Beauty Shop was a great film in its own right, a chick- flick if you will, starring Queen Latifah and Kevin Bacon. You read that right, Kevin Bacon, and he plays a very colorful character named Jorge (Hor-hey), the nemesis to Latifah's character, Gina.Alicia Silverstone co-stars, as does Andie MacDowell, Della Reese, and Alfre Woodard. A great supporting cast I may say, some well known faces, and lesser known ones as well. You'll see quite a different tone in this film, than you would from the BARBERSHOP films, more comedy and lightheartedness. A sweet story!This is probably the best film you will see Queen Latifah in, very much her style, unlike TAXI (2004), or BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSE (2003). Neither of those films did her justice as Beauty Shop has done. This is a film you wouldn't be ashamed to take your mother to.
The movie is under rated on this site. It is a perfect feel good comedy that everyone will sure enjoy.It is a true good movie.Queen Latifah is one of the best actors out there in my book. She is just really funny and has a great perspective on the movies she does.I really hope to see another movie like this one with her in it.All the other actors in the movie were great, and I saw no flaws with them either.Shows that even racial aspects of society can be overcome.My Favorite part in the movie is at the end, when it is shown that everybody is together and the shop is working excellent despite all negative things.I really hope this review helps people see how good of a movie it really was.So go ahead and give it a shot! It's worth it!
This show was horrible... I thought Kevin Bacon, Djimon and Queen Latifah did an OK job. THe plot was weak. ANd Keyshia Knight-Pulliam should have stopped acting after being Rudy from the Cosby Show. Her acting was so bad that it was funny. Alfre Woodard was HORRIBLE with a Capital "H"! Her hairstyles and outfits alone were enough to make you stop the movie. Golden Brooks did the same as she always does in EVERY movie that she plays and she was normal.. Not good but NORMAL! On a scale from 1 to 10 I give it a 3! One point for Kevin Bacon, 1 point for Djimon and the last point for Queen Latifah! It was corny and cheesy and it seems like they were trying to stay within a budget. Alicia Silverstone was funny.. but again, not good but funny!
Queen Latifah opens a beauty shop after her big argument with her boss.Latifah is kind, intelligent but just plain out of luck.Kevin Bacon steals the film in his role as the gay boss with a thick German accent. Wearing his blond wig, Bacon is hilarious in a performance that should have been considered for best supporting actor.The women and man hairstylist have a comment for everything and everyone but the film just seems to meander about.The writers should have remained focused on Latifah's relationship with the evil Bacon, who conspires with the State Board to ruin her after she takes business away from him.An aging Della Reese has a wasted one scene role as a high class woman entering the shop. Miss Reese was offered few lines and disappears rapidly.Alfre Woodard, as one of the stylists, is effective in her common talk but no nonsense approach.
