Bad Hair (2020) is a movie I watched on a recent Delta flight home and is available on Hulu. The storyline focuses on an old story that goes back to the ages of slavery. When a girl in television gets a new manager, her manager recommends she gets her hair done. The woman's new hair dresser gives her a hair style that will change her life. This movie is directed by Justin Simien (Dear White People) and stars Elle Lorraine (Insecure), Vanessa Williams (Eraser), James Van Der Beek (Varsity Blues) and Jay Pharoah (Ride Along). The storyline for this had a good setup and some potential but the execution and special effects were poor. I will say Vanessa Williams was awesome in her role. Absolutely outstanding. She delivers some killer lines in this, "with clothes that fit you'll be a star" and the "killer weave support group" lines had me cracking up. All of the horror elements in this were awful, especially when Williams transforms. Overall, there's some sequences in here that will give you a chuckle, but not enough redeeming elements to make this worthwhile. I'd give this a 3/10 and recommend finding something better to watch. Neverthess, I predict there will be a sequel.
