'THE LOSER' + Jason Biggs' STRAIGHTENED HAIR

Not only was this possibly one of the "worst" movies I'ver ever seen... but a fairly creditable and A-List actor, Greg Kinnear was totally miscast and wasted in this derivative and lackluster piece of crap.
While someone commented on how preferable Jason Biggs hair was before 'the haircut' (which signified his epiphany). I found it the most distracting STRAIGHTENING of Naturally Curly Hair I have ever seen. His hair was stiff and bouffant-like with a part in the middle of his head displaying a prominant widow's peak. This look was further enunciated by his carefully plucked and arched eyebrows, complimented by some of the darkest eyeshadowing worn by a screen actor since the days of Rudolph Valentino. This was a vain and foolish Hollywood attempt to make a decidedly 'Jewish looking' actor look as Mid-western and 'Waspish' as at all possible. Unbelievable. A REAL NIGHTMARE!!!

Actually he's not Jewish at all, he just looks it.

That's why he said "Jewish looking"

No, the haircut was to make him stand out, as in he didn't fit in with the other students.

I liked his plucked eyebrows actually.

Jason Biggs is NOT Jewish but does play many Jewish characters

The didn't really straighten his hair for the movie, he wore straight hair extensions over his natural curly hair. I read an interview where he said he had to get the extensions burned off after he finished filming the movie.
