 Funny! August 9, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a "mockumentary" of a flamboyant hairdresser from Scotland who travels to Los Angeles for Platinum Scissors Competition. He got the invitation in the mail but didn't read it correctly. He was only invite to be part of the audience, not an active participant. In his adventure to America he encounters a bunch of oddballs who either help or hinder him in his effort to become part of the contest.
It's fairly funny most of the time. A good spoof of the fashion world and award shows.

I loved this film. It has a few quirky moments but that's a part of its appeal. Craig Ferguson is absolutely charming, and it's a film that really becomes more endearing with each viewing.

THE BIG TEASE is the second movie I've seen in the past year about a hairdressing competition. The other is the likewise little known BLOW DRY. BLOW DRY is a little more accessible as it has a more in depth plot line and characters. However, THE BIG TEASE is a "mockumentary" with soul and a droll sense of humor. Craig Ferguson marvelously plays stylist Crawford Mackenzie, a Scotsman who mistakes a form letter for an invitation to participate in the annual Platinum Scissors award competition in Los Angeles. Once there, he finds out he's only invited to be in the audience, and the competition's officious chairperson (a delightful Mary McCormack) refuses to let him enter. Mackenzie stumbles onto Sean Connery's agent, played very nicely by Frances Fisher, and one thing leads to another and kaboom, Mackenzie finds an ally. The supporting cast is top notch: Donal Logue as the wannabe actor with his own limousine; David Rasche (Sledgehammer) as the Norwegian three time champion; Ted McGinley (underused) as Rasche's buddy; and some nice cameos from David Hasselhoff and Drew Carey. The outcome is predictable but the movie has such a nice low key approach to its subject matter, it's delightful. The final four hairstyles are priceless, too!
A charming film that entertains in an entirely different way.
A well-done "mockumentary" with a superb cast. December 22, 2004
Hilarious farce about a Glasgow hairdresser who comes to Los Angeles to compete in an international hairdressing competition. Done in "mockumentary" style, there are cameo appearances by several real-life celebrities playing themselves, which adds to the illusion of reality. Craig Ferguson, who also co-wrote the script, is outstanding in the lead role. He is ably assisted by a first rate supporting cast, and a very funny script. This movie this is a real hoot from beginning to end.

Terrific cast, gentle silliness. Craig Ferguson is wonderfully absurd and Donal Logue is his usual entertaining self in a supporting part. If you liked Saving Grace or The Tao of Steve, this is a great little movie at a great price.
