Nora's Hair Salon (2004)

just watch it!

Great Film overall

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

What the heck?? I watched this movie and I found it to be funny, witty, and decently balanced. Why so many people dumped on it and rated it so low is beyond me. The histrionics between the two gay lovers was pretty funny. Tatiana Ali's character got my applause when she told off that abusing user of a pimp. What they did to the thug buddy after Miss Nora punches his lights out and they dress him REALLY gay and cross dressing then dump him at a Santa Monica Blvd. club is hilarious. When Nora kicks off and leaves the house to Ming and the salon equally to the stylists I guess they did to set up the sequel where Stacy Dash ends up owning half of it instead the stylists owning it all.

This was the best movie that I have seen lately!!!!! The cast is so funny, and I love the characters that were portrayed. My favorite was Ming, the manicurist who wasn't afraid to speak her mind. I also loved Clo, and her crazy starstruck ways. My favorite part was when her niece told her about Levon(?) and then Clo tried to burn him with the hot comb. I also loved the part on Nora's birthday when Xenobia took her down to the strip club to have fun, and Ming was on stage with all of them. My least favorite part was at the end when she had the severe heart attack. I would recommend this movie to anyone, whether you are renting it or buying it!!!!!

The movie was sweet, an independent film budget, but sweet...the only similarity to Barbershop is the primary setting is a salon. Jennifer Lewis always gives an outstanding performance. The other stars and new faces were good as well. Yes, a little predictable, but still a cute movie. Cameos by Whitney Houston, Bobby Brown and Lil Kim added to the fun of the movie. Some stereotypes, but all in good nature. Keep in mind it is an Independent film, probably had an Independent film budget and has a bit of an Independent film feel to it. Not a big blockbuster type production. Again, cute, sweet and a lot of fun!!! I wish more small budget films like this would be produced more often and advertised so the masses interested in seeing it could actually see it!!!

This might possibly be THE worst movie I have ever seen. My roommate made me rent it because it seemed like a funny black comedy. Boy were we wrong. The acting is horrendous, the editing looks like it was made in a high school t.v. production classroom and the script is just....i don't even know the word. This movie exploits every single stereotype there is out there. From queeny homosexuals to outspoken latins and yes, even a korean manicurist. Please, for the love of God, do not rent this. Or actually do rent it, it's worth to see Nora have a heart attack in the end of the movie. What she says as she trips and falls is quite possibly the most entertaining part of this "film"
