i’m sorry to say that the best movie i have seen lately has queen latifah innit and that it is called beauty shop.

i’m all about the predictible plot, it’s so awesome.

especially when it’s about a woman who has been ‘dissed by her previous employer so starting her own salon as a fuck you to him is majorly necessary and then she has trouble getting a loan from the bank but no worries, give the teller a make-over in the bathroom using paperclips in her hair and shaazaaam!

and then there’s the pesky inspector who is always fining her and the employees who aren’t getting along and they all hate on the white girl and then there’s the dude who is miles out of latifah’s league that lusts for her but she’s all too career-oriented to notice and then that one employee who is a rebel and talks a lot of smack but eventually has an epiphany and is all “my bad” and turns into a nice person.

and of course the salon is broken into and trashed on the eve of her daughter’s piano recital, oh no!

but then the employees come together and renovate magically in 12 hours and the place is better than ever before and of course the vandalizing was all caught on tape by that kid who is always hanging around with a dv cam, wtf!?

anyway, best. movie. ever. kevin bacon is awesome innit, i mean it.
