A wildly uneven story.

Manages to be sweet and likable, largely because Kwapis directs the actors well and treats the sub-Lubitsch material as if he actually believed in it.

The Beautician and the Beast made me laugh, but each laugh was an island, entire onto itself. They didn't tie together into anything very interesting.

Drescher does her best, and she's very likable and charming, whatever her dramatic limitations. However, the script is complete garbage, the direction stinks, and Dalton is still a chin in search of a personality.
