Amazon.com With Queen Latifah holding court over a cast of sassy females, Beauty Shop continues the Barbershop franchise in entertaining style. Reprising her role from Barbershop 2: Back in Business, Latifah plays Gina the big-booty stylist, now on her own (she's a widow) and moving from Chicago to Atlanta, where she gets sick of her flamboyantly bitchy boss (played by... Kevin Bacon?), inherits her two best clients (Andie MacDowell and Mena Suvari) and her popular formula for "hair crack" conditioner, and opens her own styling shop with a $30,000 loan and a rainbow coalition of hairdressers played by Golden Brooks, Sherri Shepherd, Alfre Woodard and Alicia Silverstone. While it lacks the frank, sharply observant racial humor of Barbershop, this easygoing comedy moves along at an agreeable pace, with a supporting cast of beauty-shop customers (and a love interest, played by Djimon Hounsou) who play off Queen Latifah's effortless appeal with energy to spare. Sure it's conventional, and most of the characters are thinly developed, but Beauty Shop is a fun place to visit for 105 hassle-free minutes. --Jeff Shannon

Great Movie!!! May 29, 2009 L. Williams (USA) I was pleasantly surprised this was a good movie! It was one of those cute little films that made me want to watch it more than once. Queen Latifah did a great job in her role. Bottom Line is this is a great feel good family fun movie!
Funny Movie!! April 4, 2009 Lois J. Hatfield Funny movie for any body,I picked out Rudie all grown up in this Movie.
So So Shop December 27, 2008 G. YEO (Singapore) Queen Latifah is always consistent and enjoyable to watch. However, she doesn't stretch herself much with this movie. This is strictly feel good but maybe too feel good - there just isn't enough oomph or bite in this hairdo to make it a killer comedy. It just glides along. Could've been much better but as the review above states, the characters are thin and there isn't much of a plot.
The Queen has tooken over June 23, 2008 David A. Smith (Webberville, Mi, USA) Beauty shop is a spin off of barbershop 2. this movie stars Quenn Latifah one of the best Female comedians i've seen and kevin bacon. this is a very good movie. last time you saw queen latifah's character in barbershop 2 now you see her in her own baber...i mean "Beauty Shop" movie. this movie is so funny it'll make you laugh alot. it's a must see
Mild disappointment June 6, 2008 Silence (Seattle) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Could have been great, but it's just not, and not even a guilty pleasure like Barbershop. I found Q Latifah quite charming in Last Holiday, and her charisma holds up well in this and all other works. But the writing . . . my god, it's awful. A respectable actor like Djimon is reduced to the most ridiculous type of beefcake, while Andie M and Alicia S are consistently caught in embarassingly shallow moments. The stereotypes rage in abundance, while transcendent observations are almost nonexistent. Kevin Bacon's over-the-top performance is actually the most welcome performance and sets the proper comic tone, but unfortunately he is the exception, not the rule. The style is sharp, everybody's looking real good, it's not devoid of humor and has its moments, but the content is often horrible and so many degrees removed from a Spike Lee joint. Too bad.
