When his business associate, Enzo, dies, Arthur, who is talented with shears but not bank ledgers, finds himself on the brink of losing the shop. To spruce up his business, Arthur reluctantly hires a young cosmetologist, Gloria MacIntyre (Shelly Cole), who can both cut hair and balance the books.

Andrea Gronvall Chicago Reader 02/20/2009
The only reason to see this modest indie drama is an affecting performance by John Ratzenberger. Go to Full Review Stan Hall Oregonian 02/20/2009
t's the friendly, occasionally touching chemistry between Ratzenberger and Cole that makes The Village Barbershop likable on its own terms. Go to Full Review Prairie Miller NewsBlaze 02/20/2009
While slick, splashy casino comedies may be on the wane with the economic crisis, this movie about working stiffs in those same glitzy towns just struggling to get by in the shadows of money orgy meccas like Vegas and Reno, is above the rest.

07/26/2015 Excelente filme independiente norteamericano sobre la historia que se desarrolla a partir de finales y comienzos en las vidas de los dos protagonistas de la película, en donde la lealtad y la amistad son dos ingredientes fundamentales en la historia. ¡No te la puedes perder! See more 10/18/2014 A fairly routine indie dramedy about two down-on-their-luck people who save each other with their unlikely friendship. Ratzenberger is good and Cole solid, but everything else is by the numbers. See more 01/14/2012 seriously amazing movie!!!
