What to know

critics consensus

This comedy is too slight to leave an impression, and its attempts at whimsy are not as funny as they could have been. Read critic reviews

Movie Info

Against the turbulent backdrop of Belfast in the 1980's, fellow barbers, Colm, a Catholic, and George, a Protestant, form an unlikely partnership to corner the toupee market in Northern Ireland. But with rival hairpiece company, Toupee or Not Toupee, getting a jump on the competition, Colm and George have to come up with some creative sales techniques to bring a different kind of piece to Northern Ireland.

    A interesting plot with a good screenplay, nice actings, just like Levinson's direction, An Everlasting Piece, is a unforgettable film, entertaining and funny. Fresh.

    This movie from Ireland was a hoot! Like most Irish movies, I found the subtitles absolutely necessary. The dialect is often quite difficult to understand, and it's nice to have some assistance. Another underrated gem, in my opinion.
