Beauty Shop tells the bill of Gina (Queen Latifah) as she moves to Atlanta appropriately her daughter can go to an exclusive music school. She finds a job as a stylist at a tall end salon but after a distress in imitation of her boss leaves and opens her own beauty shop.
Beauty Shop doesnt quite rise to the occasion as it repackages and regurgitates characters, themes and plots that we have seen before. It is one matter to say a checking account that has previously been the end yet bring something new to what may be an overdone but witty storyline and it is choice to retell a relation and not bring everything new to the table at all. Beauty Shop falls into the latter category and suffers greatly for it.
The main problem as soon as Beauty Shop is that it is Barber Shop subsequently women. From the plan twists to the characters inside the shop, it is the true thesame movie as Barbershop except afterward Queen Latifah at the helm instead of Ice Cube. There is the funny, inherited and penny pinching boss, Gina (Queen Latifah). There is the misguided, nevertheless full of potential stylist in training, Darnelle (Keshia Knight-Pulliman). Theres the arrogant, know it all stylist who is a throbbing in everyones side, Chanel (Golden Brooks). Theres the novice stylist of a alternative race that cant acquire any business, Lynn (Alicia Silverstone) and finally theres the opposite sex stylist who is the without help one of his kind in the salon, James (Bryce Wilson). ensue to that the child maintenance problems, someone irritating to take on over the event and the possibility that the shop may have to close for fine and you have the thesame movie, thesame relation without any supplementary flare. You even have the character that hawks their goods at the shop: in Barbershop it was a man selling bootleg CDs and DVDs and in Beauty Shop it is a woman selling catfish and monkey bread. The concept of creature native must have never crossed the writers minds.
And later over I say, can we dispense in the same way as the cheerful stylists. That is a stereotype that can go to the stereotype graveyard never to be seen or heard of againever. Kevin Bacon, an actor I love does an absolutely horrible and I repeat miserable job playing Latifahs cheerful and fascist boss. We can also dispense as soon as "metrosexuals" the additional overused and unfunny effeminate male stereotype that is going to appear in all movie where men are employed in what are typically considered to be womens jobs. If so, I tell absorb end now before you create audiences be anxious anymore subsequently we already have at this new, unnecessary caricature. There was one of these characters in "Guess Who", and one of Beauty Shops many subplots is bothersome to figure out if the on your own male stylist is gay, straight or a metrosexual which would be a furious along with the two.
For positives, there were some laughs and the opportunity to look a shirtless Djimon Hounsou was something like worth my money, but overall Beauty Shop was unoriginal and a bore. Ultimately the question is -- realize you truly desire to spend your money upon something youve already seen before. For me the answer is simple: No, I dont.
