Quotes:

Music Industry Executive: I hate razors. Just don't cut my ears off, I'll be very happy. That doesn't offend you does it when I say "don't cut my ears off"? You don't feel, "mm-hmm mm-hmm mm-hmm, get the Son-of-a-bitch now!".

What is the Point in Watching This?

A man in the record business has a meeting in 15 minutes and decides to get his hair cut before he goes. The barbershop does more than just give haircuts. They serve wine, and shine shoes, and make you feel like a king. I can't really say much more because there really isn't anything left to say. There is NO plot in this movie. It makes no real sense... and it tries to be funny, but is not very sucessful. There is nothing special or fun about it and it just isn't worth watching. The only good thing about it is that it is short. The Bangles are in it for a few second cameo. BOMB
