| OregonianStan Hallt's the friendly, occasionally touching chemistry between Ratzenberger and Cole that makes The Village Barbershop likable on its own terms. |
| User ReviewKate WThis movie was a very pleasant surprise. Just a well done, simple movie. We went into the movie without knowing what to expect really. The two lead performances are very strong... the story is tight and never lags... it is both genuinely humorous and genuinely touching. I highly recommend it!! |
| User ReviewJoel JThis movie was fantastic! My husband and I just kind of came across this film by accident. We had noticed that John Ratzenberger was in it, and it had been a long time since we had seen his name attached to anything. Wow, were we ever amazed at the quality of this film, and at how much we enjoyed his character! As a matter of fact we got a big kick out of everyone in the film. The whole thing was VERY enjoyable. |
| User ReviewWrik Ssweet and cute little tale of a small town barber, who goes broke and is hounded by complete nut-cases, but meets this young woman who is also going through a pregnancy, being thrown out by a punkass boyfriend, and the both of them get along after the initial hickups.... and what happens in the and: their businesses turn out well, everything falls into place and things are hunky dory once again!! the story has been repeated too many times in so called run-of-the-mill movies, and it gets boring that way.... but however, with a bit of decent acting, and a reasonable direction, the film comes out well and is a good boring evening buster... |
| User ReviewStella ZIt's a good movie to watch when I feel pretty awful about the life. |
| User ReviewRick MA pleasant little feel-good indie romp. Pretty decent soundtrack, great camerawork and cinematography. The acting's fine and the characters and story are pleasant. But that said, this is pretty much as predictable and unambitious as indie filmmaking gets. |
| User ReviewStacey TProblems, problems, problems. Was this an indie movie or what. |

| User ReviewJerry B"Fair to middlin'" as they say. |
| User ReviewSteven TIt's a well known phenomenon how two strikingly different characters can light up a screen together. In "The Village Barbershop," the two leads, Shelly Cole as the struggling, soon-to-be single mom, and John Ratzenberger as the cranky barbershop owner, are both mildly interesting individuals. But when they are on screen together, the oddness of their association piques our interest, and the result is a good one. Some of the acting will make you cringe, and the plot has some pinholes. I was able to overlook all of that. Cole's performance helped. She is very good, and I suspect we'll be seeing more of her. This is a decent but forgettable film, nothing more and nothing less. |
