Diagonaldi Very well executed

BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Hollywood_Yoda 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.

hotcars1784 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!

Cinny_Ortega This movie is a great one! Queen Latifah, as always, is amazing. In this one she shines as an example to women everywhere to pursue their dreams and not let anything stand in their way. Tired of dealing with an annoying boss, she decides to open her own Beauty Salon, and deals with all the hassles of running a new business - plus being a mother to a daughter with a recently deceased father. But she takes it all in stride, and hands out plenty of laughs for the audience as they enjoy the ride with her.Beauty Shop not just entertains, it has good lessons in it too - I recommend this movie to all the women out there (and the men who enjoy a movie that empowers women too!)

mswatsoninc "Beauty Shop" is harmless. Harmless in the sense that it tells a story, isn't necessarily offensive, and goes into the old reliable bag of tricks when it comes to entertaining.If you, like me, have panned down the cast on IMDb.com, you'll see quite an eclectic bunch of actors. Alfre Woodard, Queen Latifah, Keven Bacon, Andie MacDowell, Alicia Silverstone, Mena Suvari, Dijmon Hansou, and Keisha Knight-Pulliam--it's as random as random can be...well, so is the script. And, as a result, so is the movie.Kathy Griffin does an entire act on feeling nervous when white people start speaking black around her--it makes her feel awkward. Now imagine Andie MacDowell shaking her now developing booty and Alicia Silverstone freaking a black man on the dance floor. I think if you were look up the word "awkward" in the dictionary, these two plot points would appear as references to the emotion.Queen Latifah can't seem to break that aura that you're watching a person playing themselves. Try as she might (or is capable of), she can't make us believe her chemistry with Hansou is realistic, and, though you like "Gina," she can't really make us commit to it, and I can't really say that you like her enough to care that she's having a hard time. All of the supporting characters are basically stereotypical--no one is spared, whether they be the the black girls in the shop, the wannabes who try and adjust, or the white characters who want to fit in that just can't seem to--ergo, we get laughs for situational comedy rather than actual funny writing. And the biggest revelation is that a character that everyone is convinced as gay turns out to be just a metro-sexual who has a prison record and likes white girls. Sorry--that's not enough to make me strive to look past the forest and see the trees.I know we are being asked to not judge a book by its cover, but, Silverstone's phony "hick from the sticks" accent was waring on my nerves far too much to pick up that message...and, I still can't get past Andie MacDowell being a pivotal character in this film. Her acting prowess is debatable, and she seems to just show up whenever a Southern accent is required in a film. But, it was somewhat nice to see how a former "Cosby Kid" turned out after what must be a huge cross to bear if you're looking to carve out an acting career for yourself.
