The Village Barbershop

The only reason to see this modest indie drama is an affecting performance by John Ratzenberger.

t's the friendly, occasionally touching chemistry between Ratzenberger and Cole that makes The Village Barbershop likable on its own terms.

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.

This is one movie that could really use a trim.
