Movie Reviews of The Big Tease
Movie Review: How to Poke Fun at Hollywood Stylists
Summary: 5 Stars
Craig Ferguson is wonderful as a Scottish hair dresser who thinks he is
invited to an important styling contest in California. There are many funny
scenes as he gets to the contest only to find out he is not one of the
contestants. It mimics many of the stereotypes of Southern California
characters and is a lot of fun to watch.
Summary of The Big Tease
If you've got it flaunt it. Or in the case of Scottish hairdresser Crawford Mackenzie snip curl tint shape and blow-dry it . Mackenzie comes from Glasgow to Los Angeles with a documentary filmmaker in tow recording his journey to compete in a stylists competition for the prestigious Platinum Scissors Award. But the best-laid schemes of mousse and men go wrong: Mackenzie's invitation to the even is in error.The Big Tease is big fun a fish-out-of-water tale teeming with charm and a hilariously satiric view of life in L.A. Craig Ferguson (The Drew Carey Show) heads a vibrant cast as Mackenzie the licensed-to-style hero determined to enter the contest and create a hairdo to claim the coveted shears. It's a case of do Or dye.Running Time: 86 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?COMEDY UPC:?085391742821Another addition to the ever-growing mockumentary genre. A British camera crew follows Crawford Mackenzie (Craig Ferguson), a Scottish hairstylist, as he travels to Los Angeles to take part in the Platinum Scissors Competition, put on by the World Hairdressing International Federation. Unfortunately, it turns out that Crawford misread the invitation, which was only to be in the audience. But he refuses to let that stop him, and works his way through the L.A. social world. In the process, he befriends Sean Connery's agent (Frances Fisher), who helps him finally get a chance to show the world his hairstyling genius. The Big Tease is at its best when completely indulging its hero--Crawford's delight at the amenities of his hotel, such as electric curtains, is charming and infectious. Ferguson has a gift for a kind of deadpan silliness, a dry humor that never becomes anything but frivolous--in a good way. The plot is beside the point; the ruthless depiction of fatuous L.A. social behavior, however, is sharp. Comedian Larry Miller has a brilliant turn as an unctuous hotel manager named Dunstan Cactus, and there are numerous cameos, including David Hasselhoff and Drew Carey playing themselves. --Bret Fetzer
