BEAUTY SHOP - MOVIE REVIEW

HE SAID:

How many times have we seen the Cinderella story, set in different ethnic backgrounds, using different genders, set in different time periods? They are all the same - the protagonist is stuck in a bad situation, then they get out of the situation and try to make it on their own. They overcome a series of heartbreaks and persevere in their quest and finally win in the end.

In this version it is a black woman hairdresser (Queen Latifah), who is Cinderella in today's Atlanta, Georgia, USA. I do have to agree that she has a lot of atyle and verve.

However the story is one we have seen a million times before. We know that the heroine will come out successful in the end, no matter how bad it looks in the middle of the story.

Boring. Maybe hard-core Queen Latifah fans might sit through the film to see their idol do a Cinderella movie. Otherwise, I would give this one a miss.

On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, I give this movie a 4.

SHE SAID:

I loved this movie! Queen Latifah is my favorite and she is absolutely fabulous in this film. The confidence that she exudes in her every move is just simply amazing.

Queen Latifah carries this movie on her wide shoulders and keeps it interesting. I just can't get enough of her.

On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, I give this movie a 9.
