    Every few months I have an insatiable appetite for some Soul Food that leads me to search high and low to sate my hunger. Beauty Shop (BS) came out just in time to satisfy my Soul Food hunger. Queen Latifah (I consider her the deep fried chicken that my inner black man needs to subsist) put on another ghetto-rific performance that makes every ebony person say "DAAAAAAAMMMMMMNNNN." Even Kevin Bacon (a white guy) brought some funk to the fore. It's safe to conclude that BS sated my Soul Food hunger-- mmm...mmm...good!!!!… Expand

    Breezy, sporadically funny.

    Beauty Shop's shtick gets old and tired pretty quickly, but a breezy tone and air of easygoing likeability carry it a long way.

    Beauty Shop extends the popular "Barbershop" franchise to Atlanta and provides a sassy feminine counterpart to its cozy men's-club vibe.
