Hairdos and donts

Rating: NNNNN

What?s with all the bad onscreen haircuts lately? Javier Bardem and Ryan Gosling have already made people cover their eyes because of their crappy coifs, but this week Laura Linney (see review, below) weighs in with a wig that?ll curl your, er, toes. Here?s the long and short of this hair-raising trend.

LAURA LINNEY

in The Savages

HAIR-RAISING LOOK Didn’t Susan Sarandon sport this look back in the 1980s?

ROOTS OF THE PROBLEM Wendy Savage is stuck in childhood and clings to a ‘do that’s a preteen’s idea of pretty.

JAVIER BARDEM

in No Country For Old Men

HAIR-RAISING LOOK Demented Beatle on the warpath

ROOTS OF THE PROBLEM Like his weird unplaceable accent, the hair makes Bardem’s character seem like a sociopathic murder machine who doesn’t know where he is or what era he’s in.

RYAN GOSLING

in Lars And The Real Girl

HAIR-RAISING LOOK $8 barbershop special, with a ‘stache last seen on a 19th-century snake oil salesman

ROOTS OF THE PROBLEM Lars is so socially maladjusted he doesn’t care what his hair — or wardrobe — look like. (Chances are, his dad looked just like this.)

NATALIE PORTMAN

in Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium

HAIR-RAISING LOOK The little boy from Jurassic Park

ROOTS OF THE PROBLEM Like Lars, Portman’s Molly has serious self-esteem issues, so she’s gone out and got a haircut that makes her look like a boy — but not in a good way.
