Beauty Shop

It was good... but it wazn't all dat!

'Tis another one of those movies that's very cliche to the "black" humour out there. I couldn't understand anything the fishlady was saying. She was talking so fast and on top of stuff that I just didn't really get it. But I have to tell ya, this movie did have an interesting cast.

Queen Latifah (Gina) is her usual self. I think her roles in movies are all the same. She's always keepin it real. But there were a few people here that I just could not stand! Kevin Bacon and his fake accent was sooo horrible! I wanted to just beat him up Queen Latifah style from Bringing Down the House.

Andie MacDowell was pretty cool and Mena Suvari was an all time byatch, but it was good. The only "white chick" in the movie that I could not stand at all was Alicia Silverstone because she was damn... annoying!! Her accent was soo bad that I wanted to scream everytime I heard it. I mean... seriously... she could have easily pulled the role off without an accent. I don't think it was necessary at all.

Now, if y'all thinking how this ties into the Barber Shop 2... well... it's subtle, but it does have links! You first see the group photo of the Barber Shop cast where Gina works. And as you get into the film, you hear her say she had to move from Chicago to Atlanta so that her daughter can attend one of the prestigious fine arts schools. So, not a sequel... but a spin off. If you've seen both Barber Shop movies... then... well... watch this as well. If not, then don't worry about it too much!

Best thing in this entire movie... Hair Crack! =p
