An Inconvenient Head

A small tongue in cheek movie that explores one of those everyday 'unimportant' crises that we all endure. Cast does a good job, each adding its own little individual bit but still keeping this an ensemble type comedy. Keeps things light and moving. Some parts are really hilarious. Inspired bit is the bar scene that in a very short space presents in capsule form the true horns of a dilemma. Movies like this show what can be done with very small budgets and big talent. As Hollywood and TV struggle with ever increasing over-sized productions that run out of story half way through, it's good to see a work that knows what it is about and then -- stops.

This is a very clever little comedy about a guy who is going bald and the difficulty he has accepting it. Sadly, whenever he seeks out any reassurance that everything will be okay, he seldom gets it. In fact, everyone seems to reiterate that once you go bald, life is practically no longer worth living.

Fortunately, the entire film is done very tongue-in-cheek--making fun of the situation in a light-hearted manner that you can't help but enjoy. Now at times, the humor is quite crude, so the film is definitely one for adults but I still recommend you see it because of the excellent writing and acting. Parts I particularly liked was the balding man's trip to the doctor as well as comparing hair loss to cancer or consumption! Unless you are going bald and cannot laugh at the situation, I think most people would enjoy this clever adult comedy.
