Crawford's accent and shirts alone are enough to get you giggling (one outfit, which he dons to go to clubbing, he describes as "Liberace meets Braveheart"). And, to paraphrase what a friend of mine once said about dog shows, there's nothing about hairstyling that isn't funny. Plus there are loads of great one-liners, and plenty of B-list stars cameoing as themselves (Bruce Jenner, Drew Carey of course, Veronica Webb, and the king of the B-list, David Hasselhoff -- who in the movie has the same publicist as Sean Connery: as if!). But the film gets to you to care about the characters, too -- at the climactic moment in the Platinum Scissors contest, Tiffany leaned over to whisper to me, "I'm so nervous for Crawford!" And I slapped her, because you're not supposed to talk during the movie. But I knew how she felt.
Not much I can say about it except that it's a good silly, goofy movie, perfect to cheer you up when you're feeling "like an insect tromped into the pavement by the giant shoes of Fate."
