you need a wash



'grow up!' it takes a brave girlfriend to shout that at her guy especially when he is trying so hard. george wants to go legit but how can you get a bank loan when your only collateral is a list of famous women who love how you do their hair? i can't tell if george wants his own beauty salon more than he wants to get back with jackie but no matter what george (played by that actor named warren beatty) does, it backfires. 
warren is a tall man. aside from that distinction he is a brilliant filmmaker and beloved industry giant. in SHAMPOO his restlessness looms over every uncomfortable situation he's in. julie christie, as 'jackie', is his tiny reminder of just how much he can love. 
watching 'SHAMPOO' is like being in l.a. before it finally grew up.
