From Simon Beaufoy, screenwriter of The
Full Monty, comes a comedy about teasing, scheming, and dyeing.
When the working-class city of Keighley, England, is chosen to
host the National Hair Championships, almost all the locals are
excited. But not Phil (Alan Rickman), the one-time golden boy
of the competitive hairdressing circuit. Phil hung up his scissors
when his wife and model, Shelley (Natasha Richardson), left him
and their son, Brian (Josh Hartnett), to set up shop - and housekeeping
- with Sandra (Rachel Griffiths). Old habits die hard, however.
And when Phil, Shelley, and Sandra learn that some outsiders
are bending the rules to score an underhanded win, they set aside
their differences to dive hair-first into the contest.
Based on the screenplay "Never Better" by Simon
Beaufoy.
