Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

westen1223 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.

Corey James This is my review of Barbershop: The Next Cut (spoiler free) ***1/2 (3.5/5) Cast: Ice Cube, Cedric the Entertainer, Regina Hall, Sean Patrick Thomas, Common, Nicki Minaj.Plot: As their surrounding community has taken a turn for the worse, the crew at Calvin's Barbershop come together to bring some much needed change to their neighborhood.The sequel to Barbershop is still as funny and as entertaining as the first. There aren't many sit-com style movies out there and Barbershop Th Next Cut is as fresh as it can get. Ice Cube stars as Calvin owner of Calvin's Barbershop and the majority of the film takes place in the shop. Very original because you don't see it done a lot. Director Malcolm D. Lee the maker of many other comedies returns with the second film in the Barbershop series. The scripting is very original and pretty much the entire film is banter and the banter is very good it is the key thing that made this film funny and actually bearable to watch. Calvin's Barbershop is just a normal business full of normal people, but the fact that it also has spiraling drama it makes this comedy just that little bit better.Here are some points as to why this is the comedy to watch: Story: The story follows from the first and sometimes this film has points to show that it is better than the first. The story feels slow at first but then when the tension unfolds that is when it really shines. Calvin not only has to run his business but he also has to cope with his son who is going off the rails. My personal favourite part about this film is the tension between Calvin and his son because of the love that Calvin shows and his son is just ignoring it, he cares more about his friends. The story feels very dynamic.Characters: The characters are all normal people with normal lives trying to make a living. Most of the key characters are employees in the shop itself, that is what makes this film original. My favourite character is Eddie (Cedric the Entertainer), Eddie is on the brink of retirement and it just seems like he doesn't want to leave. Eddie made this movie excruciatingly funny. Calvin is my second favourite character although he doesn't talk much in the film I guess that is because he is trying to get his work done but he is the one to break up the fights.This is an entertaining sequel and hopefully one that will just lift your heart with it's tension and it's drama. It is a very good slow paced comedy but sometimes they are the best comedies but only sometimes.The bad thing is, is that the slow pace of the story makes it seem longer than it really is but it isn't big thing.Verdict: Funny, dynamic and a whole lot of fun hope I can get an appointment. It makes you want to get a fresh cut.7/10 entertaining comedy sequel.

Paul-271 I admit to being a fan of both the Barbershop series and Ice Cube or at least the Ice Cube I've seen in a few movies. I can't say I personally know the man. This is, again, a combination of in store banter, which is by far the most entertaining aspect of the movie, a bit of personal issues with families outside the shop and again, like in #2, addressing larger social issues which face the US. The banter is great. The personal issues are rather mundane - you've seen them all before done as well as here. The social issues will split the audience. The Big Question comes up: what to do about black on black violence which in Chicago (the setting) claims maybe a dozen lives a week. Sadly, the movie takes the easy road blaming slavery and citing as heroes Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin. These are heroes to the black community? Two thugs? Well, that's the way many see things including Cube, apparently. Still, in the end, an enjoyable feel good movie which paradoxically portrays black folks not as typical Hollywood caricatures, but as humans. That alone is worth the price of admission.

KATO-SUBZERO 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.
