This lame Queen Latifah vehicle is just a series of scenes that proceeds to parade in one stereotypical character after another.

[P]ull up a chair, put your head back and join in the fun and frolic of Beauty Shop. It's guaranteed to shampoo your troubles away.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Nov 6, 2019

So-so movie with great cast pushes PG-13 limits.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 30, 2010

As in the other two movies, the plot is a thin cardboard box carrying an assortment of observational doughnuts.

Take one part "Barbershop," one part Queen Latifah, sprinkle in a tablespoon of 'you-go-girl' and stir to get the confection of "Beauty Shop."

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 7, 2008

This bottom-feeder's sophomoric, locker room approach to black-white, gay-straight, and male-female issues cannot be undone by a saccharine storybook ending.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 20, 2007

Bille Woodruff directs the comedy with a warm generosity of spirit, which gives all the actors in a delightful ensemble cast their chance to shine.

It's meant to be a gender switch on its predecessor, but it's actually just a pale comparison.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 20, 2005

Diverting but overly episodic... never quite hangs together as a feature.

Queen Latifah proved that she could be watchable in awful movies when she made Taxi, although Beauty Shop never gets close to that particular level of badness.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 23, 2005

Latifah carries the weight of this film and does an impressive job given a script that's crying out for a total restyle.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 19, 2005

This is one film that should have been abandoned at the "I'm thinking about writing a new screenplay" phase because it ultimately does no good whatsoever.

Full Review | Original Score: 40/100 | Apr 18, 2005

Has the stink of a bad perm all over it.

Full Review | Original Score: C- | Apr 15, 2005

A very funny story that will make you laugh. Enjoy this new comedy from MGM.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 14, 2005

Latifah does her best to keep it real, and that's the sad part. What she and her girlfriends do to the English language is pretty darn ugly.

| Apr 13, 2005

It's thin, Kate Lanier and Norman Vance Jr.'s screenplay is virtually nonexistent, and there isn't a single thing that happens I didn't see coming from over a mile away, and yet I still thoroughly enjoyed myself.
