Too much of everything
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
A lovely, lovely, funny film! I've been turning on to Craig on his late nite show, and one gets the impression he can do just about anything. And this flick shows that he can. I'd love to see him do something, anything, that breaks out in any direction whatsoever.This flick is way, way underrated. It beats the pants off the half-improvised preenings of "Best in Show" and that ilk.The most amazing thing is that, as the spectacle proceeds, you come to really care about the outcome for the protagonist."Finish your Cocoa Puffs(tm)!" Find it. Curl up on the couch with something and/or someone. Light some scented candles. Dim the lights. Watch it attentively.
Sweet film about a Scottish hair dresser (Craig Ferguson) who makes the big move to California in order to compete for the coveted "king" barber title (the film has an actual name for it but I don't remember). Ferguson is quite funny and Drew Carey turns up as himself in a rather likable cameo.Overall this is nothing particularly special, stuff like this has been done before, but anyone who likes sweet-natured comedies should definitely see this. There isn't a cruel piece of celluloid around this movie!I'd give it about 3.5/5 stars.
There's something indefinable about this movie that I adore... I don't know whether it's the superb performances by Ferguson and Langham, or the great script, or the wonderful camoes (Larry Miller is a genius)...Whatever it is, this is a great movie - one of those movies that you want to watch over and over. Why isn't Craig Ferguson a bigger star? Just comparing his role in this movie with his "Mr Wick" character on the Drew Carey show proves that he's one of the most versatile and engaging actors around.
This was a great movie - we picked it off the shelf, never having heard of it before, and loved it! Reminiscent of "This Is Spinal Tap" and "Waiting for Guffman". Complete with cameos from Drew Carey and David Hasselhoff, this film is great fun! You won't be disappointed.
