5.0 out of 5 stars Not a Butcher job, January 3, 2009

By

Pat Emmanuel (Reno, NV) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Village Barbershop (DVD)

My friends and I are usually very picky about movies, but we thought this small budget film was a king among the art house genre. The story line is cool but not too fishy. The neighbors, Brian and Erik, were a riot. Shelly Cole's character, Gloria, is a great addition to the film, a true sunshine daydream. If you would like a great Saturday night at home. Buy this film, call your closest friends and gather around for a barrel of laughs and a few tears...

3.0 out of 5 stars A heart-warming, funny movie!, March 30, 2009

This review is from: The Village Barbershop (DVD)

The Village Barbershop is a nice surprise. A heartwarming mix of loneliness with humor, this film takes place in old Reno. A barber who feels he has lost everything comes in contact with a young woman who has never had much of anything. She is full of spunk and determination, however, and eventually the barber gives in to her ideas for his dying barbershop. Hilarious scenes with the barber's college age renters next door. The unusual friendship that develops between the barber and the young woman brings each of them to better lives. The writer, director and producer, Chris Ford, has a winner with his first movie. See it!
