'Written by Todd Graff, based on a pitch by Drescher herself and directed by Ken Kwapis, this bizarre romantic comedy stars Timothy Dalton and Drescher as an evil dictator and the foreign beautician that tames his heart and leads his country toward democracy in the process. The movie has a somewhat confusing notion of how dictatorships work, but that doesn't mean it doesn't pack some important messages. More precisely, the film has a thing or two to say concerning strikes. Though the labor movement is not the most essential part of its plot, The Beautician and the Beast goes out of its way to position itself on the side of workers and deliver a very important message: labor rights are good for everyone.'
