The Big Tease (2000)

A Hair Affair

The film is a mockumentary about Crawford Mackenzie (Craig Ferguson) a Glasgow, Scotland hairdresser who dreams of hitting it big 'for the little people.' When he gets an invite to the World Hairdressers International Finals, he believes he is to be a competitor. He arrives in LA only to have his dream shattered. He was only invited as a guest.

But Crawford is not the kind of man who gives up easily. His machinations to get into the competition are hilarious. I cannot say I am a huge fan of this genre of film, but "The Big Tease" was thoroughly enjoyable and worth the time.

Funky Fun

Craig Ferguson does a good job as a Scottish hair stylist who mistakenly believes he's been invited to compete in the "Platinum Scissors Hair Competition" in LA.

Once he realizes he's not one of the contestants, he goes through some funny machinations to get invited to the competition. His portrayal of a gay hairdresser is seemingly "on the button" without being over the top. His character is real and likeable and the portrayal of Hollywood is what one would expect. No surprises, other than a walk on by Drew Carey with blonde hair.

Good fun, hilarious bar scene and the kilt was icing on the cake. I would definitely recommend the movie. It reminded me of a Christopher Guest mocumentary with it's larger than life characterizations. It's the not so suble humor and outrageous predicaments that make it watchable. It appeared that some scenes were cut short but overall a highly enjoyable movie. April 21, 2008

Craig Ferguson as Crawford Mackenzie -- Fantastic

Craig Ferguson plays Scottish hairdresser Crawford Mackenzie, Glasgow's finest, who comes to the United States for a haircut competition. His adventures from start to finish are truly comical and any fan of Craig would be very happy with this purchase. May 12, 2007

The Big Tease

This is one of the cutest 'unknown' movies ever! It's sweet and funny and heartbreaking all at the same time, not to mention all the guest stars' cameos. Is there anything Craig Ferguson can't do? March 21, 2007

Ferguson's Best

This movie might be a bit over the top for some people; however I think that it is Craig Ferguson's best acting performance. (Just watch his facial expressions when he is hurt or vulnerable.) If you like him, or like off-beat, you'll like this one. March 10, 2007
