I ran into this film on one of the comedy stations on cable and I found it to be very funny and fun. What caught my attention was alot of actors faces I've seem before -- but didn't know the names and the parts they were playing were just priceless -- so far away from what they USUALLY play which is what made this film so much fun for me. Even as I checked the listing of credits here at IMDb, there are a few folks I saw in the film that are not listed. I don't know why, maybe because they have only a short time on screen, but their appearances were humorous.
This is a funny "Rocky" for the hair styling world. A talented hair stylist from Scotland gets what he thinks is an invitation to the crown prince competition of World Hairdressers that is held in Los Angeles. He decides to film his stay and competition in Los Angeles, documentary style. He flies to Los Angeles and finds out, painfully, is what he actually got was just an invitation just to sit in the audience! Try as he might, he is told he cannot compete...and just to get rid of him, he's told that he has to be a member of the Hair Stylist Union to even be considered, and so his LA adventure begins.
The film is fun as "via documentary style" we watch him run into everything LA has to give, including HIS hair styling idol who is a real snot!! The sheer will of this character trying to "beat" the system is fun to watch and at the end, you're happy for him.
I recommend this fun little film highly. It's an undiscovered gem.
