Review of The Beautician and the Beast (1997) by Natalie S — 23 Jan 2008
This is extremely lighthearted and very unrealistic, but a neat movie to watch when you're not looking for depth. Fran Drescher plays a sort of rendition of her role in TV's "The Nanny", but this time it's in the land of fictional "Slovetzia".
Fran Drescher's character's whole positive, magnetic personality contrasts with and ultimately changes a grumpy, somewhat tyrannical emperor (Timothy Dalton is great.) for the good of his family and country.
It's mostly a cheesy romantic comedy, with certain relationships failing to build properly towards the end, but what it lacks for in depth, it makes up for in cheap entertainment. I really enjoyed it.
