Beauty-school teacher Fran Drescher, basically reprising her television role in The Nanny, is whisked out of Queens and deposited in Eastern Europe after she is mistaken for a science teacher. Timothy Dalton is the gruff and stilted president for life she tames with mousse and kindness. Drescher, with that inimitable voice and colorful clothing, is very funny. It is not a far stretch to compare her favorably with Lucille Ball. The script, however, matches her bubbly humor with nothing but clunkiness. A mild diversion, this is one of many Hollywood comedies that works just fine on video. --Rochelle O'Gorman

 Beautician and the Beast July 22, 2008
This movie is a family favorite. We've watched it so much on VHS that we had to get a DVD. PG rated, it's a comedy about a ruler from a land of tyrants and a hairdresser from Queens, New York. Fran Drescher is hilarious and though Timothy Dalton starts out a little gruff, he ends of becoming sweet and adorable. A wonderful movie that leaves you with that feel good feeling.
Cheaper elsewhere! March 16, 2008
Awesome movie, but you can save $80 or more by doing a quick web search.
 Sorry Fran March 2, 2008

You are wonderful on The Nanny, but this movie just didn't do much for me.. nor my neices. I think we all fell asleep right at the beginning. A for effort.
A MUST SEE MOVIE April 19, 2007
Fran Drescher is a gifted, overlooked actress who shines in this "happily ever after" love story. This movie had my attention from beginning to end, without violence, profanity, or sex scenes! Imagine that!

..... Timothy Dalton played a little part called "Mr Rochester" in "Jane Eyre".
The day I saw that movie I vowed I would listen to him read the phone book and be happy.....
.... so what could be better than a movie starring our fav 007 and the baddest beautician who ever lived?!?! LOL
This movie is an absolute escape. I enjoy watching it for the comedy, and the incredible Mr. Dalton.
When do I get to be his massage therapist???
