MCT:August 9, 2008A good, funny and smart film! It has some great moments: Like when Lorna is talking to George in the kitchen, and she asks him if he wants to fuck. Or when Felicia is leaving the bistro, and gives Lester the finger and speeds off. But the film also has some great dramatic parts. Like at the end when George tells Jackie, "I don't trust anyone but you." The look on Julie Christie's face is heart breaking. And then they embrace. Or when Jill goes back to her place and finds George there, and he asks her why she wants the truth and she says, "Beacuse i'll know that you lied to me, and that your incapable of love." That scene is all Goldie. I love how she can be a comedic and dramatic actress. Also, Lee Grant earned her Oscar as the distrustful wife Felicia. She was so funny!

A great flic that says very little. Easy days back then and this was just the stuff for a quiet night in before we all got "more sophisicated" or dicerning.

Another fine film from the under-praised Ashby, 'Shampoo' perhaps doesn't quite
reach the heights of 'Harold & Maude' or 'Being There' but it's still a great watch all the same.
There are many memorable moments but the scene of Beatty and Christe being caught shagging in flagrante in particular, is a little piece of fridge-light genius. And the ending is beautifully done too and you actually somehow feel sorry for Beatty's character. A minor 70's classic. -
MCT:March 19, 2008En av de mest underskattade regissörerna från den amerikanska nya vågen under 70-talet är utan tvekan Hal Ashby. Den långhåriga hippien Ashby började (sin korta) filmkarriär som klippare åt Norman Jewison i I nattens Hetta (67). 1970 regisserade han sin första film som också blev ett smärre genombrott, nämligen den udda kärlekshistorien Harold and Maude. Under åren som följde regisserade han bl.a Det hårda straffet med Jack Nicholson, Vietnamdramat Coming Home, Woody Guthrie skildringen Bound for Glory, Välkommen mr. Chance med Peter Sellers och så denna, Shampoo. Hans filmer, förutom Coming Home och Bound for Glory, kategoriserades ofta som komedier, vilket är något felaktigt då filmerna egentligen inte går att placera i en särskild genre. Hans kännetecken var i och för sig hans träffsäkra och särpräglade humor, men inte av den slapstickartade eller sexfixerade arten vi är vana med idag. Snarare byggde hans filmer på en tragikomisk humor, fylld med svärta och alltid med en ironisk underton. Men också med en sällsynt humanism och empati för sina karaktärer. Filmerna handlade oftast om ensamma individers jakt på lycka, frihet och...kärlek. Hans favorittema var utanförskap, och den utsatte individens kamp att finna en plats i tillvaron. Realism var en viktig faktor, främst i dialog och förvecklingar. Ashby hade också ett personligt engagemang, var lite av en äkta 60-tals hippie, och filmerna är fullproppade av samhällskritik och politikerförakt. Shampoo passar in alldeles utmärkt på samtliga av ovan nämnda punkter. Som en skildrare av ett förlorat Amerika, var Ashby en av de bättre. Han var inte unik i en tid då Hollywood kombinerade konstnärliga visioner med kommers, men hans tankeväckande filmer från den epoken är definitivt några av 70-talets finaste stunder.

This movie is okay. It's all about sex when women are feeling attractive to a very handsome hairdresser of the 1970s. Beatty's outfits in that movie look flashy. Didn't know about this movie title at the time I was little girl until I became an adult.

MCT:July 23, 2007Pouffy little sex comedy aspires to be something more. Beatty is funny in his self-absorbed confusion. Actually everone is. Julie Christie is spot on as the kept woman - but the other characters are not as well written.
Shampoo is the Paul's Boutique of soundtracks - no way you could get all those great tunes in one movie today.
Trivia: Beatty's character loosely based on Hollywood stylist Jay Sebring who was killed in the Manson murders. Lee Grant somehow bagged a best supporting actress Oscar for her performance. Fourth highest grossing film of 1975.
Geeks: Carrie Fisher with baby fat and a potty mouth. But no action-figures! -

If you can get past Warren Beatty's hair this isn't a bad film. Good politico-social commentary. More like satire.

Superbly smart and funny. Robert Towne wrote a brilliant script and Hal Ashby directed it with such poignancy and humour. Both tragic and nostalgic. Sad, yet hilarious.

Hal Ashby + Warren Beatty + Robert Towne? Great! Fun sex in the city picture thats full of lively characters.
-
MCT:May 4, 2007I thought I was going to like this movie, but I was wrong. The plot was like eh, it could have been a whole lot better. The characters were also to whiny and annoying for my taste. I will probablly never watch this movie again.

One of the better social satires I've ever seen. It's been a while since I've seen it, though, and I'd be curious to see if it feels dated now.

Beatty's great in it...The script and the dialogues in particular were flawless, but somewhere, somehow the film failed to interest me. It must have been the vacuous characters. Loved the ending!

Sort of a social satire and sometimes comical, but mostly it's about a stylist's little "escapades" with his clients.

An unusual flick following Warren Beatty's hairdresser in LA during the late 60's.
There is a lot of fun to be had following Warren's womanising hairdreeser attempting to figure out what he wants out of life. The cast are all pretty good, especially jack Warden as a controlling jealous husband.
A film of it's time which takes a few swipes at the establishment along the way, this is worth catching. -
MCT:December 2, 2006I've never seen this, but my nephew did when he was too small to understand it. Legend has it that when a refrigerator door swung open and the light revealed a couple having a tryst, my nephew said, "Soda pop."

a look at the end of the cultural revolution of the 60's that leaves an uninspiring plot and very slow pacing in its wake, hard to believe that this one won an oscar, still has a few laughs in it

A well-acted and sometime witty film but what let's it down is the lack of plot and it's a little dull at times.

This movie was hilarious! Warren Beatty like I'm not used to seeing him and Goldie Hawn being her cute self.
