Life for upscale salon owner Angela (Kellita Smith from THE BERNIE MAC SHOW) couldn't be better. Her Beverly Hills-based business runs as smoothly as the haircuts she administers to her customers, and her poor upbringing has been banished from her memory like all the bad fashions of yesteryear. The only quandary comes in the shape of rival salon owner Marcella (Gina Torres), who attempts to steal away Angela's customers, and is about as welcome as a dried-out Jheri Curl. But one day a poignant reminder of Angela's past arrives when her alienated sister Peaches (Mo'Nique) shows up in LA. Peaches gives her errant sister a hair-raising fright when she finds her at a celebration of Angela's successes, but the talented hairdresser is initially wary of Peaches' motives. After Peaches reveals that she too is a slave to the scissors and comb of the hairdressing profession--albeit at a much lower level than Angela--Peaches drops the bomb by admitting she is on the run from the IRS, owing a sizeable $50,000 in back taxes. This news is almost enough to turn Angela's hair gray, but instead of reaching for the hair dye, she concocts a cunning plan. Victory at the annual hair show in LA should win Peaches enough cash to pay off her debts, and afford Angela the chance to bury the reputation of Marcella once and for all. The girls clip, weave, shape, sculpt, straighten, and curl their way through the show, but the competition they face during the frantic race towards the final prize is as stiff as the hair gel they apply to their models' hair! A riotous comedy romp from director Leslie Small, HAIR SHOW is also a touching portrait of family reconciliation.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Additional Release Material: Outtakes Behind The Scenes Footage

Filmed in mock documentary style, this dark comedy follows filmmaker Andrew Gurland`s misguided attempts to document the mail-order-bride process. The documentary`s main subject is Adrian (Adrian Martinez), an overweight security guard who lives in a dumpy house in the Queens borough of New York City, and drives a beat-up El Dorado. After finding no success in the dating world, Adrian decides to purchase a wife through a mail-order catalogue, with the documentary production company funding the venture in exchange for the rights to film it. After writing each other several letters, a young Burmese woman named Lichi (Eugenia Yuan) agrees to come to the United States and marry Adrian. Lichi`s expected role in Adrian`s is to cook chili and clean the toilet, revealing Adrian`s true character. But when he tries to trick Lichi into getting a sterilization procedure, Andrew (Gurland) attempts to intervene, feeling Adrian has gone too far. Next, Lichi shows up at Andrew`s doorstep to present evidence of Adrian`s abuse, and Andrew feels obligated to help her. As Andrew gets more and more personally involved with both Lichi and Adrian, he becomes a subject in his own film. Despite their obvious class differences and their dislike for each other, antagonists Andrew and Adrian have more in common than either will admit.Filmmakers Gurland and Huck Botko (who use their own names for the characters they play in the film) exploit the comedic potential of the documentary format while also forcing the audience to question their narrator. By making the audience laugh at the most uncomfortable, politically incorrect moments, the filmmakers succeed in making a statement about female objectification and the power imbalances inherent in male-female relationships. Satirical and hilarious, this film is a true original.
