The Village Barbershop

The John Ratzenberger of this movie is the same guy who played Cliff in Cheers, but his character is not even close. This Indy film is a delight to watch. It is a comedy but is slow-moving with superb character development.

Putting Shelly Cole opposite Ratzenberger was genius. The two of them are great together. If you ever thought a romantic comedy could be 99% sexless, this project shows it CAN be done.

Chris J. Ford wrote and directed this, and I salute him for the effort.

The characters are likable and even easy to relate to. The older crowd should "get" Ratzenberger's character and the younger crowd should enjoy Cole's. I enjoyed both. I have similar neighbors and got a good laugh out of the polar comparisons.

Watch this movie with a patient person.
