Beauty Shop
I made a comment to Rose the other day about this movie. First there was Barbershop, then Barbershop 2, and now Beauty Shop. Was there really any point in watching (or making) this movie if you've seen the first two? I figured this would just be the same as the first two, with maybe a bit more estrogen. I was completely wrong. It is similar in some fashion, yet this one towers over the other two by miles and miles. I don't know if it's because Queen Latifah made it better over her counterpart Ice Cube, but I think she really pulled together the story. One aspect I really didn't like... The racism they insist in bringing in to all these comedies. The message I keep getting from all these movies is, "it's okay for black people to be racist to white people, but it damn well better not be the other way around." Not cool either way, and that's the message they should be sending out. --6.5/10
