It's a feel good type of story... in an English sort of way.
I really liked this movie. It's been years since I've seen it... and quite frankly I'm surprised it hasn't been released on DVD yet. Especially when you consider the major actors that are in the movie (Jane Horrocks, Helena Bonham Carter, Lynn Redgrave, John Gielgud). Actually the two main characters in the movie were not major actors when the movie was made (Jane Horrocks and Jesse Birdsall). Jane Horrocks went on to do so many other rolls (she is most famous for her performance as Bubbles in Ab Fab).
The movie revolves around the main character Gavin Lamb (played by Jesse Birdsall). He plays a man in his late 20's or early 30's. He's a hairstylist, and he is not gay (although most of his friends are). Gavin lives a boring life with his suburban parents. He takes the bus into West London to work in a beauty salon with a poncy older boss, Mr Adrian (played by Peter Cook). Gavin's best friend Harry (played by Richard Huw), is gay... and he also works in the salon...
Fun movie.
I was really impressed with this movie. I didn't know what to expect and was pleasantly surprised when I saw it. It also has a great and fun cast.
just what i was looking for!
Saw this quirky little movie when it came out and thought it was a gem. Still a gem...not available on Netflix.
