About this product

Product Information

The British Hairdressing Championship is coming to the small Yorkshire town of Keighley. The Mayor (Warren Clarke) is ecstatic--but initially the townspeople are underwhelmed. The exotic models and their even more exotic hairdressers arrive--among them reigning champion, Ray Robertson (Bill Nighy). The Mayor is disappointed when there is no local entry, especially since Keighley is the hometown of ex-champion, Phil Allen (Alan Rickman). But, Phil stopped competing when his model, Sandra (Rachel Griffiths), ran off with his wife, Shelley (Natasha Richardson). Shelley has cancer, and discovering it is terminal, she tries to reunite her family--Phil, their son Brian (Josh Hartnett), and Sandra--by entering the competition. Phil refuses. However, needled by the confident Ray, Brian enters on behalf of the family. Soon, they are cutting hair together again.Director Paddy Breathnach maintains the delicate balance between the pathos of Shelley's illness and the breathtaking flamboyance of the hairdressing competition, as it goes from outrageous camp to gorgeous fulfillment. Alan Rickman is splendid--especially when the phlegmatic Phil returns to competition with flashing scissors and tattooed feet. Natasha Richardson is touching as she fights to regain her family. And Rachel Griffiths gives a powerful performance, apparently in support, until she becomes the family's fabulous golden angel.

  • Hair today, and here tomorrow.

    This is a comedy about the world of hair dressers. I saw it several years ago at the theaters. I decided I would like to watch it again (and Again) It features a small role by supermodel and AGT judge Heidi Klum which was the selling point for me. If you like hair dressing, humor, or Heidi, you might like this too.

  • I bought as a gift.

    The price was good for a 20 year old movie. I'll never look at Allan Rickman in the same way again. It got to me in quick time and I'd buy from sales anytime in the future.

  • A Family-Favorite Movie With LOTS of Heart!

    A family-favorite movie; we love the quirky characters and the excellent story. Not to mention the fabulous actors, two unfortunately now deceased. The music is wonderful and very distinctive. This was a gift to one of my grown kids, who was thrilled to receive it.

  • Blow Dry took me into the world of competitive hair design that mymother had tried back in the 1960's. She didn't have the ego for it, but actors do!

    Rickman could play anything from wizards to villians to spooky lovers. so I was impressed that he tackled being a professional hair stylist in competition with his nemesis played superbly by Bill Nighy. I don't know how many hours these actors spent with scissors and hairspray or if those were actually their hands doing the exotic styles, but the photography detail work was superb.
