(For Thursday) The Big Tease - 1999

Craig Ferguson? In a mockumentary as a gay hair stylist from Scotland visiting Hollywood for a big hairdo competition that he actually wasn't invited to but showed up for anyway because he misunderstood a form letter? YES YES YES.

This is such a funny movie - I love little surprises like this that Netflix brings me! I never would have watched this movie if I saw it on the shelf at the (now non-existent) video store. I mean, a guy in a kilt with scissors? Nah...I don't think so. But a guy in a kilt with scissors on Netflix seems much more plausible. Maybe because I could turn it off and not have to worry about paying for it if I didn't like it!

Mockumentaries are fun for me in general - I love movies like "Waiting For Guffman" and "Best in Show" and "A Mighty Wind"...this wasn't QUITE on the level that those movies were, but it was definitely one that I would recommend to someone looking for a way to lose an evening in something completely unrelated to anything in their own life.
