The Beautician and The Beast
1997, 102 minutes, Rated PG
With a ready supply of one-liners and a delightfully retro sense of fashion, Fran Drescher provides the who, what, when and wear of this funny and smart comedy about a ruler from a land of tyrants and kings - and a hairdresser from Queens.
Eager to make her way in the world, hairdresser Joy Miller gets her change when she's sent to a modern once-upon-a-time land called Slovetzia to tutor the three children of gruff, widowed dictator Boris Pochenko. Joy thinks she'd been hired as a beautician. Boris thinks she's been hired as an able science teacher. Science or not, chemistry of another sort begins to work its magic. Joy's spirited openness blows the cobwebs off tradition-bound Slovetzia. And her resourcefulness gives Pochenko's heart a makeover, or does it? The best way to find out is to make an appointment with The Beautician and the Beast!
