The Big Tease is a surprisingly fun little movie about hairdressing as a competitive art form. This is done in the fake documentary form as Drop Dead Gorgeous was. The plots between the two movies were pretty similar, showing the competitive nature between the hair stylists or the beauty pageant contestants.Crawford Mackenzie (Craig Ferguson) is the up and coming gay hair stylist from Glasgow, Scotland who has received an invitation to compete in Los Angeles for the coveted "Platinum Scissors" award. Mackenzie is delighted and gets a documentary crew together to document the events, which, as you might assume, will get a little embarrassing to be documented. The first mishap to take place is the fact that his credit card has been maxed out, unexpected to Mackenzie because he believed the participants expenses were taken care of. Second, he finds out that he was not invited to compete, but to watch. That would be pretty embarrassing in itself, but Mackenzie takes it upon himself to earn his HAG card (Hairdressers of America Guild) so he can become eligible to compete.Stig Ludwiggssen (David Rasche, and the reason I rented the movie) is the main competition for Mackenzie and comes off as a pompous jerk, like Ted McGinley's character in Revenge Of The Nerds (who, coincidentally, is Stig's agent in The Big Tease).Also, Drew Carrey makes a cameo as himself, but with a full head of hair and raves about Mackenzie's work, which for some reason I found pretty funny. Between Drew's and Rasche's hair, I do not know which was more out of place. I am still used to remembering Rasche as the straight laced Sledge Hammer.Overall, a fun little movie if you do not go into it expecting much. If you are satisfied with Drop Dead Gorgeous, I do not see any reason you will not like The Big Tease. 6.5/10

I love this movie so much. It has such a funny plot line and the writing is so good (Craig Ferguson, the star, wrote it). This is one of the best faux documentary movies I've ever seen. I think it also has a sweet little story about fulfilling your dreams and I love the ending. I'm also a big fan of Craig Ferguson's other work, like Saving Grace. If you liked this, I would reccomend that as well.

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!

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.
