Not to be confused with
Queen Latifah's upcoming
Beauty Shop, this chop shop is a tad shabby. Uptight Kellita Smith runs a Beverly Hills salon that a competitive neighbor wants to buy. Things get more complicated when her cash-strapped, flamboyant sis
Mo'Nique pops in from out of town. Now, if only she could help out by, say, winning a hair competition.
Oh, look, it's a hair show with a $50,000 prize! Even with a low-budget look and feel, Mo'Nique's personality jumps off the screen. Too bad the rest of the clichéd sassy staff (the slutty gal, playa guy, etc.) end up spouting off more dull stereotypes than
Barbershop barbs. A bunch of unnecessary diversions could've also been taken off the top, too. And the drawn-out hair-show finale? For the hard-core hair-show fans only. Those exist, right?
