Summary: It’s been more than 10 years since our last appointment at Calvin’s Barbershop. Calvin (Ice Cube) and his longtime crew, including Eddie (Cedric the Entertainer), are still there, but the shop has undergone some major changes. Most noticeably, our once male-dominated sanctuary is now co-ed. The ladies bring their own flavor, drama andIt’s been more than 10 years since our last appointment at Calvin’s Barbershop. Calvin (Ice Cube) and his longtime crew, including Eddie (Cedric the Entertainer), are still there, but the shop has undergone some major changes. Most noticeably, our once male-dominated sanctuary is now co-ed. The ladies bring their own flavor, drama and gossip to the shop challenging the fellas at every turn. Despite the good times and camaraderie within the shop, the surrounding community has taken a turn for the worse, forcing Calvin and our crew to come together to not only save the shop, but their neighborhood.… Expand

A funny movie, but also a serious movie, and — who knows? — maybe an important one. Read full review

The most fascinating — and the most moving — thing about this sprawling, sincere and boisterous movie is its tone. Read full review

If “Chi-Raq” aimed to shock us out of complacency, “The Next Cut” creates a more welcoming groove, encouraging greater openness to outside perspectives. Read full review

Barbershop: The Next Cut, the third installment in the film series, brings the laughs while injecting a serious topical theme that gives it a welcome edge. Read full review

Apr 13, 2016

Though this series is built on comic looseness, it’s that sincerity that carries through its minor comedic missteps, like underusing Hall and leaning too heavily on Cedric’s wacky-old-man shtick. Read full review

It's a mixed message, but that perfectly encapsulates the confusion of 2016 American politics. Read full review

Apr 12, 2016

Overlong, polished but drab civics lesson of a comedy. This “Barbershop” is in sore need of a trim, and not just a little off the top, either. Read full review

Ice Cube did an amazing job on being the lead role along with the others like Common and Cedric The Entertainer. I have my personal opinion on Nicki Minaj but that doesn't matter. This is a hell of a good sequel and it's also a great movie itself.… Expand

Wow, this comedy sequel just turned out lucky in front of critics, but not in front of my face when I make this review. Ice Cube and the rest of his crew are back for some more cutting as the Next Cut begins to make its way to 'cut' all of us in their very own 'barbershop'.

Seems enjoyable at some point, but can't find its own way to enjoy a fresh cut.… Expand

It was an ok movie, but didn't really provide anything new, plus I was kind of annoyed with Nicki Minaj's character. There were some funny jokes, there was a message they wanted to send to watchers, but the whole story itself wasn't that exciting

If you believe the advertising for this 3rd installment in the series, you'd be expecting plenty of laughter. Not the case.

Not the case. Although there are a few genuinely funny moments (mostly provided by Cedric the Entertainer's crusty comments), the feel-good aspects have given way to personal drama and political statements. Calvin’s Barbershop has added a women's section, which could have allowed for plenty of sassy repartee, but it's mostly about women's issues. On top of that, their hood's crime-ridden environment leads to much ado about gangs, murder and violence...none of it amusing. Instead of being loaded with laffs, this serious sequel is burdened by messages. There are some cool clothes.… Expand

Horrendous movie, lack of commitment from Nicki Minaj as an actress and poor development of ideas, xoxo.
