Beauty Shop

Queen Latifah is a stylist fed up with her idiot boss and sets out to start her own shop in Atlanta. I am not sure whether this is supposed to be a commentary, or have a higher point, or ??? But as entertainment, I totally enjoy the glimpses into culture and practice that I have no experience with. Recognizing that this is now 15 years old, I see the stereotypes and messages that seem too obvious (in 2019) that maybe needed to be explicit (in 2005). And how can you not love Queen Latifah...
3 stars (out of 5)
