The Worst Film Ever
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
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
"Barbershop used to be a place of peace." Chicago is in a bad way. The violence has begun to take over and it finally hits the area around Calvin's (Cube) barbershop. When Calvin's son becomes involved in gang violence he has to once again wonders if the best course of action for his family is to close the shop. This series has been very strange. The first one was funny but didn't think it needed a sequel. The second one was really bad and I didn't like it at all. This one though I thought was the best of all 3. That being said that all pretty much have the same plot. This one has nothing all that original and the movie is fairly predictable but the reason to watch isn't for the plot. This movie has a great and very timely message. It was a little strange to see the guy responsible for F the Police to have such a strong anti-violence movie but that actually adds a little to the impact of it. Overall, the best of the series with one of the best messages of any movie in the last few years. I actually recommend this for that, and the laughs. I give this a B.
I was gonna give this one a 7 but than realized how much this movie surprised me. I liked about every bit of it and especially for a comedy that is rare.The basic story is solid but the natural equal approach was extremely refreshing. Everyone had a good role to play and all got some time to shine and all of their characters developed through the course of the movie.None of all of there celebrity status is felt in this movie and especially Nicky Minaj and Eve acted very "down to earth". Icecube is in the center of all this running the barbershop and he was very convincing as a parent and a dad who has to chosse between the risky location of the barbershop or his family.I've been a hip hop fan all my life so I saw a lot of Icecube's movies but never really got into the barbershop movies.Now that I've seen this one I will definitely revisit them to see how they hold up to this one.A good mix of comedy and drama,a well written script funny and with a message and a talented cast to execute it.This is a movie with real meaning to it,I highly recommend it.But seriously...it's also great fun.Enjoy!
