Shampoo (1975)

Rate: 3
Viewed: 10/06

10/06: I'm not sure what's beyond me: Shampoo chosen by American Film Institute for one of the best comedies made or Lee Grant winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

In case if you're wondering which character Lee Grant was playing, I'll give you a small hint: it's not Jackie. That's Julie Christie. If you still don't know who Jackie is, here's even a better hint: it's the heavily tanned gal with a great figure but an ugly face who happens to be the mistress, not the wife. Wait a minute...which one is that? Now, you've just proved my point.

Shampoo is more of a drama than a comedy picture, leaving me bored to tears. It's so dated with some of the most hideous-looking hairdos ever. Acting like a goof, Warren Beatty is in dire need of a proper haircut. The top of his head looks like a nest, and I thought birds would fly out of it.

All in all, time hasn't been kind to Shampoo.
