You won't be disappointed!
Good movie but grossly overrated
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Anytime you use a movie to try and send controversial societal messages, YOU LOSE! This was like a ship with without a rudder, with awkward dialogue, and a terrible plot.I gave this a 2 because I really like Ice Cube...but I gotta say this movie pretty much sucked, it should be called "The Final Cut". This movie tried to use real life as a political backdrop, but then created the most unrealistic setting/story-line/script...c'mon you can't be both, either your a fantastical movie about a quirky urban barbershop, or you're boyz-n-the-hood. There was a lot of dialogue going in this flick, the problem is this is supposed to be a fun comedy not a soap box to propagate more anger about things that are so controversial (and fabricated) like Trevon, Freddie, or Brown (all of which who were found through evidence and truth, to have been at fault).The hate mongers in society are making things worse by mis- portraying, the media who are starved for ratings and viewership are feeding on it and the victims are the misguided souls who eat it up and hold signs...and sadly Hollywood is trying to capitalize on it.I wished I had of passed this one up.
This movie was supposed to be a comedy but quickly turned into garbage. Loved the first movie and had high hopes for the sequel and then this crap comes out. Getting tired of seeing all this BLM stuff on TV and how racism is still alive and effecting our communities but it's OK to promote and advertise that same garbage in movies. Want to overcome racism, try not promoting it and reminding everybody every second of the day about it. I'm by no way in hell a racist, so please let's not jump to conclusions. This movie has to be the worst piece of garbage Ice Cube's been in. There is nothing comedic about this movie. The movie is pure propaganda. Sadly disappointing
Considering that this film wouldn't meet the expectations I had, it actually did. It's very hilarious, funny and interesting at the same time. Ice Cube demonstrates his character very seriously and strongly, same goes with common and regina hall. In a torn=up society in chicago, this film is one of the best of the comedy genre.Nicki Minaj's portrayal as her character is practically the same as herself, attitude-based, flirtatious (especially to common's character) and very talkative. I think she did it well, certainly a big improvement to her acting career from The Other Woman. This film just has it all, very sophisticated and brilliant with its direction and personalities from each of the characters. In a gang- piled city where shooting takes place frequently, this film shows how easy it is to make change and never give up what you started.Barbershop: The Next Cut, the film which inspires you in the future t bring about change.
Friday 13 May 2016: Last night, I saw this movie and to my surprise, I liked it a lot. The movie has good chemistry between Oshea Jackson known to the film world as rapper/actor, Ice Cube and the rest of the cast.There are a lot of good African American talent in this film with Common, Regina Hall and the rest. The prettiest women in the cast are Margot Bingham and Jazmin Lewis-Kelley. But the cutest and always the most sexy is "Eve" Jeffers. Eve is naturally sexy, her look, her eyes, her lips. Eve has it all. The rest of the cast are good and well worth the price of admission.I like the fact that there was Not a lot of profanity and it has a good message about keeping kids out of gangs. It shows a positive role model with both strong black parents in the home.The only negative that I did Not like is the use of the "N" and "B" word in the film and for that reason, I will Not give it a ten "10". I do not like the use of the "N" word or the use of the "B" word for women in films. I give this film a thumb up and an 8 on the scale.
