Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Enjoyable Comedy
Review: I can't say that I have been a fan of Fran Drescher, mainly because I never watched any of her TV shows. However, she does very good job in the role of a New York City beautician who is mistakenly recruited as a teacher for the children of an eastern European dictator played by Timothy Dalton.

Much of Drescher's comedy is geared around, believe it or not, her voice. It has an Elmer Fudd quality to it--especially when she laughs.

Drescher goes with the flow in attempting to teach Dalton's four children, but goes well beyond the three Rs--much to his consternation. Still, her down to earth style slowly wins Dalton's heart and transforms into something of a more acceptable world leader.

While the ending is predictable, it is nonetheless satisfying.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Joy tames the Beast
Review: I imagine that it is difficult successfully to expand the main characters and theme of a serial to a standard length film, but Fran has done it and very charmingly indeed. Fran is Joy and the Beast is an eastern european post-soviet dictator.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It was oustanding and funny. I'm a big fan of The Nanny
Review: I love The Nanny and watch it everyday. I love Fran Drescher's voice it always cracks me up! Her voice is one of the many things that makes her her if her voice was different she wouldn't be herself

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Terrific! Funny! Just plain AWESOME!!!!!!!
Review: I love this movie ! It is so funny! Fran Drescher is fantastic! Unforntunatly I don't own it,YET! But I'm getting it as soon as I have the chance. I've seen it about a hundred times and it never gets old! It's a lot like Beauty and the Beast only a lot funnier and more romantic.If you haven't seen it you have no idea what you are missing! Go out and rent it! After you've seen it you'll want to buy it and watch it over and over again! It'll be worth the money!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movie!
Review: I think this is one of the best family/childrens movies. It has alot of different issues that are important, and it also has an adorable theme. Its beauty and the beast mixed with Cinderella.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny, romantic, beautiful people!
Review: I was never a fan of neither star of the Beautician and the Beast, but after watching it on TV I became and addict to Timothy Dalton. This is a very romantic comedy but one has to look deeply into the feelings of Pochenko and Joy, he is a grumpy teddy bear that loves his children but tries to appear tough and mean and we have to understand his loneliness and lack of romantic love in his life until he truly falls in love with a woman that changes his way of thinking and humanizes him and on the other hand, Joy fulfills her love not only with a man that very much needs her but with his children that eventually will become her family. After buying the video and watching it numerous times, I think this is a great movie but has been underrated and criticized for Fran's voice which she can help and is one of her main charactericstics. Ever since, I am forming a collection of videos of this great actor Timothy Dalton, ah! that voice and his looks! But mainly what an performer! . I recommend this movie but please read in between the lines all the mixed feelings including her parent's feelings and mean old jealous envious and devious prime minister, what's his name? Ira is delightful and so are the children! Also the music! I even bought the soundtrack, the waltz is beautiful!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One word: Wonderful
Review: I've seen this video a million times and I love it. I also like the nanny, and this is so special. She has a bit of Fran Fine, a bit of Fran Dresher, and a bit of Joy Miller in her. Yet it's very original. I love it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I Loved this Movie!
Review: I, Being a Hard-core 'The Nanny' fan, i desided to rent The Beautician and the Beast because i heard it had a simaliar plot to the Nanny(She was hired as a teacher/nanny and falls in love with her boss) and i loved it!! I loved the line where her mom fed her pet chicken and she said, "Ma! You fed the Chicken Chicken?!?! Its like Silence of the Chickens!!!"

I rate this movie 5 outta 5!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It`s really good!!!!!!
Review: If you are a Fran Drescher fan this is the thing for you. It`s a dead drop copy of "The Nanny". Completely! The ending is a bit unclear but...... If you don`t got it, BUY IT NOW!!!!!!!!!! END

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This is a goldmine for all you Fran fans out there!!
Review: If you are a Fran-fan buy this! It is just great. It`s a story about a beautician , Fran ,or in this movie Joy Miller. She get`s the job working for The man that is like the king(ofcourse he isn`t but is in charge of the country) of the fantasy land,Slovetzia. She get`s the job as a science teacher for his kids. But actually that was the subjekt dhe flunked in at school. The ending is a little sudden but still.... It`s a great story. END
