 The Beautician and the Beast (movie)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
This is the story of the dictatorial president (Timothy Dalton) of a tiny fictitious Eastern European country ("Slovetzia", between Slovakia and Ukraine) having invited an American beautician (Fran Drescher) as teacher for his children.
Of course the beautician turns his castle, country and life upside down, both fall in love, democracy is installed there etc....
Very frequently the flag of Slovetzia is shown, mainly as a car flag, though.

 Filmtracks: The Beautician and the Beast (Cliff Eidelman)
The Beautician and the Beast: (Cliff Eidelman) Nearly a complete failure as a film, one of the few bright aspects about The Beautician and the Beast is its score by Cliff Eidelman.
Aside from The Beautician and the Beast, which gave him the opportunity to go to the U.K. to record with the London Metropolitan Orchestra, Eidelman would also produce an impressive score for the third installment of the Free Willy series that same year.
The highlights of the score for The Beautician and the Beast, although short in length, are many of the more sensitive cues composed for the underscore during the second half of the film.

 THE BEAUTICIAN & THE BEAST
Comedy: A beautician is mistakenly hired as the tutor for a dictator's children.
Liberally taking the "Beauty and the Beast" story and throwing in a little "Sound of Music" and the "King and I" (without the musical numbers), this movie concocts a romantic comedy that you just can’t help yourself from smiling about.
While it plays loosely with the "Beast" story (she changing him into a decent person), the movie’s really a vehicle to showcase Drescher’s comedic timing and natural charm, both of which are in abundance here.

So in the end, "The Beautician and the Beast" succeeds in what it sets out to do: make a broad, standard romantic comedy, and it should be respected for that.

With her Wonderbra, her widow's peak and her braying honk of a voice, it's safe to say that comedian Fran Drescher is an acquired taste.

In a bizarrely unfunny mix of The Sound of Music, Dead Poets Society and, of course, Beauty and the Beast, Joy charms both the unruly children and the hard-hearted Boris.

The Beautician and the Beast is a more furtive imitation of the small screen.
But the names are changed to protect the innocent -- in The Beautician and the Beast, the governess' name is Joy Miller, and her stern employer is absolute despot Boris Pochenko, played darkly and smolderingly by Timothy Dalton.
Any way, after some bungling Slovetzians mistake Joy, the beautician, for a science teacher, she gets the job as governess in Slovetzia, where, wearing these sculpted hairdoes from the early sixties, she teaches her charges about split ends.

There are two kinds of people in this world: Those who don't mind Fran Drescher and those whose ear drums burn at the very thought of her nasal, Long Island whine.
Folks in the latter category probably haven't even read this far, so allow me to assume by your continued attention that you are tempted by "The Beautician and the Beast," a tawdry, frivolously modern fairy tale that serves as Drescher's coming-out-of-television party.
The main problem with "The Beautician and the Beast" is its pacing.

 The Beautician And The Beast reviewed by Greg King   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Part contemporary fairy tale with the requisite happy ending, part culture-clash comedy, and part fish out of water tale, The Beautician And The Beast provides an unusual spin on the classic story of a beautiful, head strong tutor who tames a tyrannical and aloof father and enchants his children.
The Beautician And The Beast contains many funny moments, and the rich verbal interplay between Drescher and Dalton is wonderfully delivered by the two stars, who are clearly enjoying themselves here.
The character perfectly suits Drescher's screen persona, and she positively revels in the role, while Dalton also lightens up considerably from his usual dour screen persona, and seems to be having fun portraying most of the clichéd gestures and mannerisms of a despotic Stalinesque dictator.

 "The Beautician and the Beast" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
The beautician of the story is Joy Miller (FRAN DRESCHER) who leads a boring life in New York City.
The beast is Boris Pochenko (TIMOTHY DALTON) who is the iron fisted dictator of "Slovetzia," a formerly Communist eastern European nation.
It was generally clean and seemed to be a very loose remake of "The King and I." The beautician teaches a nighttime beauty school class in a regular school's science lab.
