Summary The crew is back in Barbershop 2. They're all still there in Calvin's shop, this time with Queen Latifah joining the fun as Gina, a stylist at the beauty shop next door. The world changes, but some things never go out of style -- you can still say anything you want at the barbershop. [MGM]

Barbershop 2 makes you want to know what happens next. In its own way, it's the Ivory Soap of sequels: 99 and 44/100% pure.

A warmhearted and surprisingly ambitious sequel.

It ain’t high art, but it is a fun flick.

Did I like the film? Yeah, kinda, but not enough to recommend. The first film arrived with freshness and an unexpected zing, but this one seems too content to follow in its footsteps.

The first "Barbershop" was no classic but, as so often with sequels, if this were the first there would be no second.
By Shawn Levy FULL REVIEW

The material is hardly original, but the moment is affecting all the same.
By Joe Morgenstern FULL REVIEW

Cube is still adorable, but the potentially poppin' battle between the shop and big-box competitor Nappy Cuts gets obscured by sloppy chronology and flat, cartoonish politicos.
