Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Hair Show is a lively and funny ensemble comedy set in the busy, high-pressure milieu of an upscale hair salon. As in Barbershop or Empire Records, a handful of idiosyncratic characters share the shop's load but are individually defined by peculiar obsessions or circumstances. Jun Ni (Keiko Agena), for instance, just wants to learn to cook for the husband who adores her yet who is starving because of her failures in the kitchen. Peaches (Mo'Nique) is trying to save her bacon from the IRS agents hounding her for $50,000 in back taxes. At the center of the story is Peaches' rivalrous relationship with sister Angela (Kellita Smith), who took a sizable inheritance from her late grandmother (Peaches got no cash from Grandma's will) and built the salon in which brassy Peaches might be the most talented stylist. Crisply directed by Leslie Small and co-produced by Magic Johnson, Hair Show is lightly but genuinely rewarding. --Tom Keogh

3 out of 5 stars Pretty good movie..........2006-07-28

...but I see why it went straight to DVD. It's not BarberShop nor is it BeautySHop, so don't purchase it because of that. This movie has it's own redeeming values..

The plot is essentially good sister does good...bad sister, does bad, runs away from problems and tries to do good.

I enjoyed the plot,the characters and the redeeming theme.

As usual Mo'Nique did her thing with the comedic talent...and it was equally appealing seeing Kelita Smith broaden her acting chops.

5 out of 5 stars BBW- Big Beautifu Women.......2006-04-19

I really enjoyed this movie because it shows that just because you are big and a yourself doesn't mean you can't get the guy. Monique always makes me feel that no matter what size I am, I AM Somebody and a beauty to behold. The movie was simply made, but I enjoyed the friendliness. It was great. Monique, you go girl!!

4 out of 5 stars Lane Kim (Keiko Agena)-.......2005-10-22

I got this movie because after a search it was the only one I could find for Keiko Agena that plays Lane Kim on Gilmore girls TV progam. She plays a totally different charactor in this movie though, one that does not smile much and does not seem to be a very happy person. I like the charactor she plays on the Gilmore girls a lot better. At least there they use costume to get a little comic effect out of her. She tends to hide her body and not use it as much as she could. She would be a lot closer to using her body for comedy like Lucy or Julia Roberts. She would have more distance to go to be really sexy looking and even then she would be sexy in a funny way. Perhaps she needs someone like Garry Marshall to really help her to develop herself and to more solid back up rolls like she does as Rorys best frind on the Gilmore's. It would be nice if she at least got more bit parts like Sookie. You tend to she her show up all over the place. Nothing big but at least they invite her onto the set for a day for a little bit of something.

5 out of 5 stars Go Nikki.......2005-09-15

I loved this movie. It was funny. I loved Monique and all the other characters. It was a slight repeat of Beauty Shop but other than that it is a funny, sweet movie.

This movie was very touching between sisters that truly care for one another.

    A Queer Eye DVD collection would not be complete with this...although it doesn't contain as many humorous outtakes as the others, until complete season DVDs become available, I'll take it!
