This is another of my favorite movies since I was a kid. It’s with Fran Drescher,and she plays her usual character,this time a beautician,who is hired by the assistant of the president of the made up country Slovetzia(a very small country right in between Romania and Hungary) ,to tutor his 4 kids.

How does she end up in this situation,you ask? Well,the president's envoy sees an article in the newspaper about her being a hero and rescuing the animals from a fire her class set unintentionally. The man believes her to be a teacher of all things and hires her. She thinks that he wants her for her beautician skills. This leads to a series of funny moments and an unexpected,more or less, love affair.

I like how she bonds with the kids,how she fights for what they want. I also love how she changes this cruel man called ‘the beast’ by the world leaders and the media for what he was doing to his so called democrat but in reality communist country.

I liked the story,I laughed the whole time.

The acting was good.

I loved her gold ball dress paying homage to the Beauty and the Beast Disney Cartoon.
