Venus Beauty Institute

Ah, those French do so love l'amour. Except, of course, when they don't, as with the cynical hairdresser heroine of this import. There are some nice scenes, plus some clever dialogue, but not enough of either here. And Natalie Baye, the putative star of this film, is too bland, and her character too off-putting, to make the viewer really care about what's going on here. (Though perhaps the presence of personal favorite Audrey Tautou--the reason I watched this--puts Baye in a comparatively unflattering light.)
