Title

Beauty shop

Queen Latifah reprices her role as Gina, who audiences first met in the 2004 sequel to barbershop. This time she’s the owner of her own beauty shop. A widow and single mom, Gina has moved from Chicago to Atlanta, so that her daughter Vanessa ( Paige Hurd), a piano prodigy, can attend a performing arts school. Mother-in-law Paulette (Laura Hayes) and sister in law, Darnell’s (Kelsha, Knight, Pulliam, who played Rudy on the Crosby show.), live with them. The bills are paid by Gina‘s job at Jorge’s (Kevin Bacon) high end salon, but his obnoxious personality ultimately proves insufferable, Gina quit her job and decide to get a place of our own, securing a loan with some resourceful tactics. Situated squarely in the ghetto, and featuring a revolving cast of eccentric characters, the shops, quirky employees provide a constant stream of witty banter. Meanwhile, the electrician, who lives upstairs (Djimon Hounsou Amistad) slowly wins Ginas heart. Despite challenges, Gina, maintains grace, humor, and a magnanimous air that sees her through everything. The Ensamble cast of this feel good comedy at time eclipses It’s good-natured star, who functions as a den mother to the madness. Andi MacDowell and Mema, Suvari play wealthy Atlanta, socialite who defects to Gina’s shop, while gospel legend Delia Rees also makes an appearance. Bryce Wilson’s turn as an ex convict stylist of questionable sexual orientation, provide humor at his expense, while Alicia Silverspoon‘s bumbling black girl want to be, is so charming, that we forgive her fake accent. Building upon the success of the barbershop franchise, beauty shop holds its own both in its comedic, acuity, and in its inspirational story of an underdog who comes out on top through force of will, and strength of spirit. 4G
