The Salon

'Sentiment: Positive đ'
Mark Brown the man behind MGM's Barbershop franchise brings us a more sensitive although equally funny movie about the struggles of a single woman with a demanding job and a cute 6 year-old to take care of. The recipe for her success: she's honest and always in a good mood. Until a lawyer from the City council walks in to announce he closes the Salon down. But he's the SEXIEST man on earth. Mixed emotions, feuds among staff, kid going astray. Everything seems to fall apart in her life... Vivica Fox's performance is magnificent. She is just adorable. The very talented Terrence Howard plays a brutal husband, Brooke Burns and Greg Germann are great in cameo parts. The editing is brilliant, the photography colorful; the movie is fast paced, the jokes are sharp. Two hours of pleasure and pure talent. Look for it and enjoy!

This movie was a waste of a money even though I got to rent it for free. Vivica A. Fox did a great job in this movie. But the plot was horrible. You usually can't go wrong with a cast of fly Taral Hicks, fly Monica Calhoun, and fly Kym Whitley. But this movie was still horrible. Vivica's character's son got suspended for fighting a racist student. The lawyer fell in love with Vivica's character and played Vivica during the hearing. Taral's character slept with another man's wife. Monica's character was in an abusive relationship with Terrance Howard's character. The gay man (which played the worse gay role that I have ever seen in my life!) was being abused by teenagers and Dondre Whitfield's character (who hated gays) stood up for him. So many stereotypes for one movie!

The Salon is a movie not to be missed. A beauty shop owner is about to lose her well established salon to a big law firm. In the meantime you get to know the fantastic cast of characters working in the shop and nearby. It gives the audience a real idea of what a black owned and employed shop is like. I laughed and cried and got very attached to the employees. The movie is worth celebrating! The black history adds pride and richness to the story.
