Alan Rickman and Bill Nighy as hairdressers? How did I miss this? It has a Best in Show vibe while following (like another Nighy film of a few years before, Still Crazy) the formula of trying to reunite or build a team for an event or competition; inevitably one key member can’t or won’t cooperate but comes through in dramatic fashion at the end. (So thoroughly skewered in South Park’s “You Got F’d in the A” episode.) No surprises, but a fun film to watch while you’re doing something else.
