So, he heads west with a British documentary crew in tow. After arriving he finds that he was invited merely as a guest to observe the competition.

      Audience Member Accent was a bit too thick for my liking . Direct Scottish ripoff of best in show 2.1 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/10/22 Full Review Audience Member I reall enjoyed this mockumentary style flick. Some recognizable faces- quick and dry comedy. Also, nice footage of Los Angeles and the surrounding areas in the late 90s/early 2000s. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member if you like Craig Ferguson,you will love this movie Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Exactly not how to do a mockumentary. Just proves how hard it really is to perfect that style. A Scottish hair dresser is invited to a "hair-off" in LA as a guest, but he thinks he is to perform. No hilarity ensues, but a bunch of gayness does. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Wasn't that bad actually. You will probably enjoy lot of the jokes if you've been watching the Drew Carry Show or The Late Late Show. But I just don't see how they came up with this story though... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member doesn't get any better then this, its a hair movie with craig the scotsman Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
