"The beauty of the 'Shop' movies is that they provide a stage for lively characters" | ||||
"Lght and likable - a low-budget 'Steel Magnolias' without pretense | ||||
"The residents of 'Beauty Shop' never quite gel. Instead of camaraderie, the feeling is one of bare tolerance." | ||||
"The diversity of the Beauty Shop ensemble is a large part of what makes it so much fun to watch" | ||||
"Queen Latifah's warmly formidable presence drives this amiable but poky comedy." | ||||
"A sunny and sassy comedy that somehow manages to breathe fresh life into familiar stereotypes and stock situations" | ||||
"Spends too much time being convivial and not enough time looking for the kind of real conflict that begets a good comedy." | ||||
For all the vivid, amusing characters that surround Gina, 'Beauty Shop' rightly belongs to Latifah, who comes into her own as a star and an actress in this film" |
