Pluskylang Great Film overall
LouHomey From my favorite movies..
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
kai ringler first off I bought the movie because I wanted a half decent story and I wanted to laugh,, and well folks,, that just what I got,, nothing more , nothing less.. Queen Latifah does well,, Kevin Bacon,, is kinda out of place in this , but does try his best... I wanted Alicia Silverstone to have more screen time , but we can't all get what we want,, overall I thought that the movie was well thought out,, I wish that people would stop comparing it to Barbershop,, that's guy's for heaven's sake,, this is women,, a totally different ballgame if you ask me,, all of the other actors did a fairly decent job,, it's not gonna win any Oscars anytime soon,,but it's not a pile of crap like some on here tend to think,, I would recommend this to anyone who needs a good laugh.
mstalltammi This show was horrible... I thought Kevin Bacon, Djimon and Queen Latifah did an OK job. THe plot was weak. ANd Keyshia Knight-Pulliam should have stopped acting after being Rudy from the Cosby Show. Her acting was so bad that it was funny. Alfre Woodard was HORRIBLE with a Capital "H"! Her hairstyles and outfits alone were enough to make you stop the movie. Golden Brooks did the same as she always does in EVERY movie that she plays and she was normal.. Not good but NORMAL! On a scale from 1 to 10 I give it a 3! One point for Kevin Bacon, 1 point for Djimon and the last point for Queen Latifah! It was corny and cheesy and it seems like they were trying to stay within a budget. Alicia Silverstone was funny.. but again, not good but funny!
Movie_Savage What was I thinking when I agreed to watch this movie with my girlfriend? She had read about it in some women's magazine and from then on she was dying to see it. go figure....So here's this movie about (black) female empowerment, a perfect world where men are either complete insensitive jerks or just this big hunk of a guy who with all his gratuitously displayed muscle can't even walk straight. No wait, there's more, did I mention the sissified, braided-hair, pro-female-agenda metrosexual who drinks his coffee from a china cup with his pinky spread apart?To get one thing straight, I am neither misogynistic nor do I have issues with female empowerment, but this movie about a woman trying to get by in a supposedly still male-dominated world is almost insulting to any self-respecting man.That said, let's move on to the few upsides of this movie. Mena Suvari and Alicia Silverstone, two of the hottest babes under the sun, together in one movie, and Mena Suvari's character getting a boob job... now there's something to enjoy for a guy. It's a shame Alicia Silverstone never really became that big a name. She definitely still has potential and has come a long, long way since the days of being the "Aerosmith chick" or the "Clueless" valley girl. Please please, movie executives, find it in your heart to give her more challenging roles! Mena Suvari is stunning as ever. She, too, has evolved far beyond the goody-goody girl of "American Pie" and "Sugar and Spice" and just looks fabulous. I think we'll be seeing a lot of her in the future.Maybe it's because I'm a guy and "just don't get it" - but I can't see this movie rating anywhere above three points, despite very entertaining performances by Silverstone and Suvari. My apologies to the girl nation out there... or maybe not.P.S.: When we were done watching the movie and after my gf sat through the rant I was giving her about how this movie distorts the image of the modern male, she just quipped "...but that's how men really are!" -- You'd better hope the verdict is still out on that.
moviewizguy This movie is a spin-off sequel to Barberer Shop 2: Back in Business. Gina is a hairstylist who opens up a beauty shop full of employees and customers more interested in speaking their minds than getting a cut.Latifah does it again! Her charm lights up the screen. Gina's business starts off bad. Her own shop just looks bad. Luckily, her friends help her clean up the place and that's where she hires employees. She gets one of her white friends in the other shop to help her work there. Some of her black friends comes to help.This is one of those comedies that doesn't uses f-words. The acting from Latifah, Woodard, Silverstone, and Bacon are great. Actually, I've never seen Bacon act like that in his entire film career. It's funny to see that. Bacon's character then gets jealous because Gina is doing much better than he has expected. The jokes are funny in this film.If you just want to see a feel-good film, here it is!
