A fun movie, 14 March 2008

This film tied for the audience award at Cinequest and this film was
one of four films I managed to catch while at the festival. It's a
decent little flick and the acting was fine, but for some reason every
time I watch John Ratzenberger I can't help but think about Cliff from
Cheers. Shelly Cole did an amazing job and I always liked her from
Gilmore Girls. The story is supposed to take place in Reno, Nevada but
the filmmakers use parts of Napa Valley to double which I could always
tell which location they we're shooting in. In the end, it was just
alright and semi- entertaining. The average film goer will probably
like it.

This movie is a real gem that is making its way through the festival
circuit as of Spring 2008. It is a feature length film about second
chances in life - well acted with a nice musical score, solid story
with a nice ending! John Ratzenberger does a fine job of portraying the
quite dignity of the barber (Art Leroldi). Shelly Cole is fabulous as
Gloria MacIntyre and I would hope to see more of her on screen. The
paring of these two actors in this movie worked very well as it gave us
a story and character that fit together perfectly. Cliff Traiman did a
fine job as Cinematographer as did the post production audio and music
artists.
Fun, whimsical tale about a barber, a girl, and a new life, 4 March 2008
Author:
Philip Anderson from United States
"Cheers" alumni John Ratzenberger stars as Art Leroldi, a grumpy barber
who holds some personal issues of his past a bit too closely. When
troubled times come, he is forced to hire Gloria, a female - something
he never thought he'd do. Although she comes across a bit brashly at
first, she ends up being his business mind that might save the day.
Enter other characters along the way, that both add and disparage each
of them, and the tale keeps the viewer watching. The filming was done
well. The story is interwoven with subplots, and moves ahead at a good
pace. The characters are interesting, and each has their own tale to
tell, while intertwining with each other. For a first effort,
director/writer Chris Ford strikes a winner with this piece. Expect
great things in the future. Don't miss this flick though.
