Review of The Village Barbershop (2008) by Steven T — 28 Mar 2010
It'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.
