Movie Reviews of Shampoo
Movie Review: The film portrays its women, perhaps in a questionable way, accompanied by awareness of their way of life...
Summary: 3 Stars
A day in the life of a Southern California hairstylist (Beatty) as he beds three women (Christie, Hawn and Lee Grant) while at the same time trying to seek a loan from businessman Lester (Oscar nominee Jack Warden) to help him open his own salon... His world soon starts to fall apart as he realizes what he fervently wishes in life and the limitations of his cheerful posture toward others...
Lee Grant won an Oscar for playing Lester's bored wife who can't seem to take her eyes off Beatty, and even her nymphet daughter (a young Carrie Fisher) desperately wanted him to be engaging in reciprocal sex... Grant's actually quite jovial and adorable in her role as we heartily feel for her character near the climax...
Warren Beatty appears either excitable or distracted through most of the story... He lies, hides, and denies facts, doing whatever it takes to make everyone happy...
If you like to see Julie Christie notoriously fellating Beatty underneath an elegant dinner table... well don't miss this funny sex comedy which received four Oscar nominations...
Summary of Shampoo
George a very popular beverly hills hairdresser wants to open his own shop becomes sexually involved with several if not all of his female clients. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 11/02/2004 Starring: Warren Beatty Goldie Hawn Run time: 109 minutes Rating: RFor those who consider Bulworth to be a savage and unprecedented political send-up, it's worth revisiting Warren Beatty's first, and best, attempt at outrageous social criticism. Mercilessly exposing the essential vacuity of both the sexual revolution and conservative alarmism over cultural permissiveness, Shampoo remains the best movie ever made about Nixon's America, and one of the very best about the tragic and disappointing conclusion to the 1960s. Set on the eve of the 1968 presidential election that elevated Nixon to the Oval Office, Beatty's uproarious satire follows a hairdressing Lothario (played by Mr. You're So Vain himself) in and out of the beds of several women, including the wife of a wealthy businessman, his mistress, and his young daughter (Carrie Fisher, in her first screen role). Juxtaposing tropes from Restoration comedy with Southern California dialogue and a healthy, hilarious dash of running commentary from election returns, Beatty's ruthless awareness cuts through the film like a scalpel. The performances are uniformly excellent and surprisingly ego-free; though Jack Warden's portrayal of Lester, the twice-cuckolded businessman, stands out as a model of sensitive, nuanced parodic acting. Released in 1975 during the messy cleanup at the conclusion of the Watergate era, Shampoo neatly bookends the Nixon presidency, and concludes with the frightening finality of an iron door slamming on a cell. Commended for including the live version of Jefferson Airplane's Plastic Fantastic Lover. --Miles Bethany
