OK, everybody- I know this was not Barbershop. But it was told from a woman's viewpoint and like another posting said, was more like "Chick-Lit"- lighthearted and don't take it too serious. I laughed a lot all the way through it. My husband laughed a lot also. There were a lot of African-American jokes that certainly went over my head, but like anybody who is in a setting where everybody but you seems to get the joke, you laugh along anyway and have a good time. Latifah seems so natural in the movie, you can imagine her really running a beauty shop and having to deal with difficult personalities of the staff, the moods of the regular customers, plus funny people on the street who just drop in or plain interrupt daily business. I liked it a lot and it left me with a good feeling when the credits rolled.
