PLOT SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

When Jorge (KEVIN BACON), the egotistical boss at a posh salon, pushes his star stylist, Gina (QUEEN LATIFAH), a hair too far, Gina leaves and opens a beauty shop of her own. Inheriting an opinionated group of stylists, a colorful clientele and a sexy upstairs neighbor, Gina proves that you can\u2019t keep a good woman down \u2014 and you can\u2019t keep a shopful of women speaking their minds.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

VIDEO \u2013 3.75\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Beauty Shop<\/em><\/strong> takes a seat and gossips about the Blu-ray, presented with a 2.35 widescreen aspect ratio and given a 1080p high-definition transfer. While it\u2019s likely MVD received this as is from Fox\/MGM, so it didn\u2019t undergo any kind of clean-up, the picture doesn\u2019t look too bad. It is fairly clean, colors are generally vibrant and detail was halfway respectable but hardly amazing.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n

AUDIO \u2013 3.75\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The included DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track isn\u2019t incredible yet still serviceable considering the bulk of the audio is dialogue with some minor depth for the soundtrack and score, and there were no discernible hisses or pops.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n

With the success of the Barbershop<\/em> movies, and with at the time Queen Latifah\u2019s growing fame following her Academy Award nomination for her supporting role in Chicago<\/em>, it\u2019s no surprise there would be a spin-off with Beauty Shop<\/em><\/strong> which had a good heart at its core.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
