[edit] Plot
The story is about a beautician (Fran Drescher) who works and lives for hair. One day she is mistaken for teacher and becomes the tutor of the children of the president of a small country called Slovetzia. The president (Timothy Dalton) is very moody and generally is thought to be a "beast". As the beautician becomes a friend to the children she also helps to improve the president's almost rogue attitude and an unlikely love story emerges.
It prominently features the phrase talk to the hand and was said to be involved in popularizing it. This movie was generally panned by the critics including one scathing review by Susan Wloszczyna of USA Today.
- "Listening to Fran Drescher's nasal squawk for an entire movie is the price you'll pay to see The Beautician and the Beast. Imagine having your ear canal scoured with Brillo. Only more abrasive."
- -- Susan Wloszczyna
The Film received good reviews from many fans of Timothy Dalton and Fran Drescher.
