From the Back Cover

If you've got it, flaunt it. Or in the case of Scottish hairdresser Crawford Mackenzie, snip, curl, tiny, shape and blow-dry it. Mackenzie's come from Glasgow to Los Angeles - with a documentary filmmaker in tow recording his journey - to compete in a stylists' competition for the prestigious Platinum Scissors Award. But the best-laid schemes of mousse and men go wrong: Mackenzie's invitation to the event is in error.

The Big Tease is big fun, a fish-out-of-water tale teaming with charm and a hilariously satiric view of life in LA. Craig Ferguson ( The Drtew Carey Show heads a vibrant cast as Mackenzie, the licensed-to-style hero determined to enter the contest and create a hairdo to claim those coveted shears. It's a case of do, or dye.

Join me in proclaiming The Big Tease as one of the funniest mockumentary films you are ever liable to encounter. Watch as the fantastically camp Cameron Mackenzie cuts and bobs his way from Scotland to L.A. to enter the prestigious Platinum Scissors Award. It truly is a funny film with cracking performances by Craig Ferguson in the lead role and Chris Langham as the documentary maker who seems to be wondering if it will be worth it all in the end. And it is.

This clever and witty film delivers with each scene. A fictitious film crew from BBC television is following a young Scottish hairdresser as he goes to America to compete in the Hairdressing Championship - and bring home the "Golden Scissors" to Scotland. We follow him as he meets a variying aray of characters - from the over-eager chauffeur driver to the snooty Norweigan hairdresser - right up to the moment of competition.
Its funny, heart-warming, hilarious and just a very good movie - one to watch with loads of popcorn and some hankies (just in case!).

QUEEN OF SCOTS... 17 Nov 2002
By Lawyeraau HALL OF FAME TOP 100 REVIEWER
Format:VHS Tape
This creative film within a film, a mock documentary, is simply delightful. Funny and original, it is a biting satire on the Beverly Hills/Hollywood power circuit. In the process, it tells the wonderful story of Crawford MacKenzie, a popular and talented gay hairdresser from Glasgow, Scotland, who believes himself to be invited to represent Scotland in a prestigious hairdressing competition, the Platinum Scissors, to be held in Los Angeles, California. When he arrives, complete with a BBC camera crew filming his every move as part of a feature documentary they are making of Crawford's participation in the competition, Crawford discovers that he misread the letter. He is strictly to be a member of the audience and is told so in no uncertain terms by the patronizing director of the competition, who has sized up Crawford as a nobody.

This does not deter Crawford from trying to be allowed to compete, as he definitely is not the kind of person who takes no for an answer. Crawford, charmingly played by the ever talented Craig Ferguson, pulls every trick in the book and ingratiates himself with Sean Connery's publicist, wonderfully played by Frances Fisher, who manages to open some doors for him. Along the way, he is snubbed by some Beverly Hills/Hollywood power types, including one of the competitors, an obnoxious Norwegian named Stig, who was the prior year's Platinum Scissors champion, played to perfection by David Rashe.

Still, the ever nice Crawford remains undaunted, and what he does to get into the competition is funny, especially when he starts fighting fire with fire. In a short time, Crawford becomes a force with which to be reckoned, and he finally gets his dearest wish and is allowed to compete. The competition itself is hysterical and will amaze and delight the viewer. This little known film is an absolute gem. Craig Ferguson's performance makes the character of Crawford MacKenzie totally endearing, and the supporting cast is, likewise, terrific. There are also a number of marvelous cameos, including Drew Carey playing himself. All in all, a bloody good show!
