xsophietaylorx I actually can't believe this film has such a low rate I really enjoyed it from the start till the end it really is just light comedy enjoyable to watch just a nice film for you & the girls. It's upsetting that people are so offended by the way Lynn is treated in the film but that basicully I'd the harsh realitys off life. Apart from that the film did make me laugh a lot it has these little one liners that are just really funny apart from that I love queen Latifah she was really the reason I watched it because I've never seen her do a bad film yet. Beauty Shop isn't a bad film it's nice really and teaches you to sort off go out and try and achieve your dreams and not to let anyone walk over you. The plot is OK and really it's just something to throw on if your in the mood for a laugh and something nice and simple to watch.

leplatypus If there wasn't Andie MacDowell in this movie, I would never picked it up. But even her acting can't save it.For a beauty shop, the script is so badly written that you want to tear your hairs! The cliché of this kind of movie is the parlor room where the customers and staff are all together. So there is a lot of characters, but right there, they are rather dull, except for Alicia Silvertsone.First of all, she is cute and plays very sweetly a strong willed but a bit dumb young woman. Thus, she helps to open a debate about racial issues. I am often surprised to see that in American productions, all the cast can be afro-American (see "Prince of Bel-Air and other sitcoms…). My country isn't a model so far, because we shows maybe more mix but with less exposure also! So it's interesting to hear about that about Alicia's character but sadly, it isn't the main thing! Andie plays a little part but she is great because she seems to be a very down-to-earth woman, who can enjoy a good laugh sometimes!

spotted_yellow WOW i absolutely loved this movie i especially love Queen Latifah she is the bomb she is SO down to earth & she makes movies great!! i love the little boy in the movie that films all the females butts because thats just SO funny! i couldn't stop laughing through out the whole move apart from when there were all the sad parts!! i felt as though i wanted to cry when Ginas beauty shop was broken into! i loved all the actors! i am going to go out and buy the DVD so i can watch it at any time i feel like laughing or just for fun because the movie is no where near boring its so much better!! i only rented it for a night and i watched it about 5 times i loved it!!!!! Best movie i love it

Adrienne85 What a great plot. Woohoo. Latifah gets fired by her wannabe-bad-boss from the beauty shop she was the bomb at, and then decides to open up her own beauty shop. And she has to go through so much hassle. I mean, her husband died and she can't make ends meet. Also, she has to prove that she can DO it. And then there's Alicia Sliverstone making a big scene about being white. This is 2005. Why do they make such a big deal about colors. In 1996 this movie might have been, erm, outrageous. Not.And all the lines were so old. You know what they're gonna say before they've said it. And if you don't, you KNOW you've heard them before. Probably in another Latifah movie. It's not worth it. I laughed when the cars parked outside her shop. That was it.
