rzajac 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.

d1494 I felt surprise as I lingered on this movie while channel-surfing, it seemed to be far from any interests of mine, but, as I watched I realized that far from it, this movie says as much about the human condition, the indomitability of the spirit, as many other pieces of cinema. Charmingly acted, humorous, and in the end as satisfying as The Natural, The Big Tease is a funny and smart little film, well worth watching, with a winning hero and hateful villains. Bravo!

sibisi73 Trying to do for hairdressing what 'Strictly Ballroom' did for ballroom dancing, 'The Big Tease' follows Glaswegian hairdresser Crawford MacKenzie as he tries to get himself into the cut throat competition for the coveted 'Platinum Scissors' - a contest he's been invited to watch, but not to take part in. But it is so obvious that he'll walk away with the prize that there isn't any kind of feelgood factor about it.Taking the well worn fish-out-of-water scenario, 'The Big Tease' is far too slight to really make much of an impression. The whole Hollywood wannabe lifestyle is too easy a target for this type of comedy, and although some there is some mileage to be had from the situations, it all feels very stale. Actually, the film itself shows signs of suffering from that same wannabe mentality that it tries to lampoon. There are various 'celebrity' cameos, but they only serve as a reminder of how small scale the movie is. And when the expected Sean Connery cameo doesn't materialise it is an indication of the film's underachievement. An overlong sitcom pilot episode.�

sjdean This film is similar in style to This is Spinal Tap, they've even paid tribute to some of the classic scenes from the Spinal Tap movie.Following a Scottish hairdresser trying to get into a competition, the film is a huge laugh, but not as big as I would have hoped. Unfortunately it just gets a bit too thin on the ground on occasions, and you're just hoping that there will be some joke soon.That aside you cant complain. Even Sara Gilbert is in it!
