    Light hearted, very amiable fake documentary following a Scottish hairdresser's entry into a prestigious hair dressing competition in L.A. Might have been too light for it's own good, but Ferguson is so ingratiating that he makes it a joy to watch.

    A favorite. Call me nuts, but I like this movie for its hilarity.
  • November 14, 2009
    Winning little comedy. Ferguson is immensely likable in the lead.

    the rain stick, anus, excited and "that is very dangerous" comments were funny and Epiphany from GH gave him a massage

    This was a funny film. Better than I thought it would be. The film never takes itself to serious and that is what makes it work. Craig Ferguson is very funny in this.
  • June 23, 2008
    I love Craig Ferguson (no, not that way!), so I'd like to see this.
  • May 17, 2008
    Very funny movie about one man's trip from Scotland to compete in a hair competiton.
  • April 21, 2008
    I may get in trouble for saying this, but this was about as funny as the average craig ferguson monologue. Meh.
  • April 17, 2008
    An utterly ridiculous mockumentary! But. I can't lie. I loved every silly minute of it. Without Craig Ferguson as the leading man, I suspect that this movie would have fallen short. But, fortunately, he kept me laughing throughout the film. (Not to mention the fact that he ...( read more)looks extremely cute in a kilt.) Long live Scotland!

    This movie had potential, but fell through the cracks. To bad.
