The Beautician and the Beast is a 1997 American family comedy film directed by Ken Kwapis and starring Fran Drescher and Timothy Dalton as the title characters.The story follows the misadventures of a New York City beautician who is mistakenly hired as the school teacher for the children of the ruler of a small Eastern European country. The story is loosely based on The King and I, with elements of The Sound of Music, Evita, and Drescher's sitcom The Nanny. Despite the film's title, it has nothing to do with Beauty and the Beast nor is it set in the Disney Cinematic Universe. | |

Screw the Rules, I Have Money! | |
| The Beautician and the Beast / int_230d64 | comment |
Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: The advice Joy gives Masha (Puschenko's younger, slightly overweight daughter) is not to care about anyone's negative comments about her, since she's basically a rich princess. | |

President for Life | |
| The Beautician and the Beast / int_24414d6a | comment |
President for Life: Although he makes no effort to hide the fact his father was a dictator, Boris Puschenko prefers to refer to himself as "President", although there are no elections in Slovetzia so he is pretty much this. By the end the film, he denounces his "President for Life" status and allows his people a fair election. | |

Bald of Evil | |
| The Beautician and the Beast / int_28114487 | comment |
Bald of Evil: The president's second-in-command, Leonid Kleist, is the closest thing the movie has to a villain. He dislikes Joy and her American ideals, and is against Boris's attempt to soften his beastly image. | |

Heroic Sacrifice: Parodied when Joy convinces a chicken to allow itself to be killed for the good of Slovetzia, complete with the fowl laying down it's head to be chopped, crying patriotic tears. Of course, Joy is unable to kill the poor bird. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
| The Beautician and the Beast / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: Joy delivers one to Boris after the two visit a Slovetzian factory, where the latter receives tons of false praise from the workers, while Joy finds out the visit will force all the workers to have to stay late to make up the work they missed, receiving no extra pay for their effort and having no unions. She outright calls President Boris out that the factory is a sweatshop. Happens again at the diplomatic dinner when President Boris decides not to release the rebel leader, Alek, because he is already gaining so much good PR that he doesn't need to anymore. Joy is quick to call him out that he was supposed to let Alek go because it was the right thing to do, not just because it would make him look good. | |

She instead decides to teach them what she knows, like how to style hair or which shoes go with what outfit. | |
