Touches You

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

I actually can't believe this film has such a low rate I really enjoyed it from the start till the end it really is just light comedy enjoyable to watch just a nice film for you & the girls. It's upsetting that people are so offended by the way Lynn is treated in the film but that basicully I'd the harsh realitys off life. Apart from that the film did make me laugh a lot it has these little one liners that are just really funny apart from that I love queen Latifah she was really the reason I watched it because I've never seen her do a bad film yet. Beauty Shop isn't a bad film it's nice really and teaches you to sort off go out and try and achieve your dreams and not to let anyone walk over you. The plot is OK and really it's just something to throw on if your in the mood for a laugh and something nice and simple to watch.

Not giving up is a way to go. Following your dreams will get you there, ever if the road is very bumpy. In "Beauty Shop" Queen Latifah plays Gina Norris, a single mother and profession hair stylist who lives in Atlanta, Georgia because her daughter is going to a prestigious school of music. She leaves the beauty shop in the city because the owner Jorge(Kevin Bacon) is a credit hog, and a jerk. Not only her, but her other friend Lynn(Alicia Silverstone), a shampooer goes along with the ride. With the help of some family and friends, the shop would be a hit. There were some of the people who kinda had issues with Gina having Lynn working with her. Gina just did away with them "birds", and the others didn't say a thing about it. Because they didn't want to do with them either. In that shop everyone had something to say, and was not shy about. Gina had it all, until vandals wrecked the shop. But that didn't stop her one bit. Common grounds made the business strong, and with Gina running the shop, who can stop her? Not even Jorge could throw a monkey-wrench into the plan. All he was left with is shorter hair. Very good movie, sends a powerful message as well. 3.5 out of 5 stars!

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!

I was dragged to see this movie by my two best mates, who are both girls ... and who are both black! i was the only guy in the pictures ... and the only white person as well! but i actually liked this movie! I've never been a huge fan of Queen Latifah as a rap-artist, but she was great in Chicago and Bringing Down the House! Alicia Silverstone is great as usual, Alfre Woodard as funny as hell, and Andie McDowell, Kevin Bacon and Mena Survari are a great supporting cast!. Sherri Shepherd and Golden Brooks are hilariuos in there roles! All in all, id give it 7/10! for i film id never even heard of, it was pretty good! I don't think it will appeal to blokes, or even white people for that matter, but i thought it was great! first class fun!
