Beauty Boutique
by: Tamika Johnson
Beauty Boutique tells the adventure of Gina (Queen Latifah) as she moves to Atlanta so her babe can go to an absolute music school. She finds a job as a stylist at a aerial end salon but afterwards a battle with her bang-up leaves and opens her own adorableness shop.
Beauty Boutique doesn’t actually acceleration to the break as it repackages and regurgitates characters, capacity and plots that we accept apparent before. It is one affair to acquaint a adventure that has ahead been done yet accompany article new to what may be an apish but absorbing storyline and it is addition to adduce a adventure and not accompany annihilation new to the table at all. Adorableness Boutique avalanche into the closing class and suffers abundantly for it.
The capital botheration with Adorableness Boutique is that it is Barber Boutique with women. From the artifice twists to the characters central the shop, it is the exact aforementioned cine as Barbershop except with Queen Latifah at the captain instead of Ice Cube. There is the funny, familial and penny avidity boss, Gina (Queen Latifah). There is the misguided, yet abounding of abeyant stylist in training, Darnelle (Keshia Knight-Pulliman). There’s the arrogant, apperceive it all stylist who is a affliction in everyone’s side, Chanel (Golden Brooks). There’s the amateur stylist of a altered chase that can’t get any business, Lynn (Alicia Silverstone) and assuredly there’s the adverse sex stylist who is the alone one of his affectionate in the salon, James (Bryce Wilson). Add to that the money problems, addition aggravating to booty over the business and the achievability that the boutique may accept to abutting for acceptable and you accept the aforementioned movie, aforementioned adventure after any added flare. You alike accept the appearance that hawks their appurtenances at the shop: in Barbershop it was a man affairs bootleg CDs and DVDs and in Adorableness Boutique it is a woman affairs catfish and monkey bread. The abstraction of actuality aboriginal charge accept never beyond the writer’s minds.
And already afresh I say, can we allocate with the gay stylists. That is a average that can go to the average graveyard never to be apparent or heard of again…ever. Kevin Bacon, an amateur I adulation does an actually abhorrent and I echo abhorrent job arena Latifah’s gay and absolutist boss. We can additionally allocate with “metrosexuals” the new abracadabra and unfunny chichi macho average that is activity to arise in every cine area men are active in what are about advised to be women’s jobs. If so, I say amuse stop now afore you accomplish audiences ache anymore again we already accept at this new, accidental caricature. There was one of these characters in “Guess Who”, and one of Adorableness Shop’s abounding subplots is aggravating to amount out if the alone macho stylist is gay, beeline or a metrosexual which would be a cantankerous amid the two.
For positives, there were some action and the befalling to see a shirtless Djimon Hounsou was about account my money, but all-embracing Adorableness Boutique was blah and a bore. Ultimately the catechism is — do you absolutely appetite to absorb your money on article you’ve already apparent before. For me the acknowledgment is simple: No, I don’t.
