Watch: Permanent 2017 123movies, Full Movie Online – It’s 1982, and the Dicksons (Jim, Jeanne, and Aurelie) move (are the new-comers) to a southern town where all the girls long for Farrah Fawcett-type curls (to match their back-woods accents/ and love to talk hair./ and obsess over their hair.) Pre-teen AURELIE begs her parents for a permanent, (known outside the south as a perm) hoping for life-changing curly waves but when they take her to a Beauty School instead of a salon to save money, disaster ensues. A bored Student-Beautician accidentally sets the timer for too long, and the perm ends up destroying Aurelie’s already low-grade social life as well as her hair follicles. Aurelie is left as a gawky yet endearing young teenager trying to navigate junior high with what some kids call an afro, then throw things at her, from epithets to dodgeballs..
Plot: This comedy, set in 1983 in small town Virginia, centers around a 13 year old and her family. The story of a hairstyle gone incredibly wrong and a young girl’s plight to fit in while encountering bullies at a new school.

Arquette Shines in this Quirky Piece
Like it’s time setting, this film reminds me of something that might have meant something to someone from a different era. Stories like The Best Christmas Pageant Ever come to mind. The story is odd but not weird enough, honest but not brave enough, sweet but not memorable enough, but altogether enjoyable and cute. The real stand-out is Arquette in a strange, remarkable, endearing performance that is one of my favorites of her career. Her indelible charm is on display as this peculiar take as a frustrated wife and mother.
How Did This Get Good Reviews?
Ok, I have no idea how this movie got so many 10/10 reviews! It wasn’t that great. At all! Maybe if I’d known going into it that it was like Napolean Dynamite in the sense that it’s not suppose to be a good movie, but rather quirky and weird, I may have a different opinion. Honestly, I thought is was slow and dull. There were some funny parts where I did lol. I just don’t see how it got all the good reviews. Would I watch it again? NO. Would I recommend it? Heck NO! Save your time and watch something else.
