Watch Barbershop For Free

It is a performances centric movie

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

It's a day in the life of a barbershop on the south side of Chicago. Calvin Palmer, Jr. (Ice Cube) is struggling to find the money to keep open the shop inherited from his father. He sells the shop to greedy Lester Wallace (Keith David) who tricks him turning it into a strip club. Later he changes his mind. JD (Anthony Anderson) uses his cousin Ricky Nash (Michael Ealy)'s truck to steal the ATM across the street. Ricky Nash (Michael Ealy) is one of the barbers with 2 strikes. Terri Jones (Eve) is angry after finding her boyfriend with another woman. The shop is filled with crazy characters both barbers and customers. Eddie (Cedric the Entertainer) is an old-timer with no customers. Jimmy James is very particular about things. Isaac Rosenberg is the only white barber and Dinka is secretly in love with Terri.This is a fun group of characters. There are some great comedians and a actors at work. There are some fun conversations and good comedy. Cedric the Entertainer has some great lines and gives the movie its heart. F Jesse Jackson! Anthony Anderson is quite funny in his side of the movie. He has many hilarious scenes and one with Lahmard Tate about $5. This is a terrific comedy with heart.

I give this movie a 10, it may not be very artistic or profound but it has a lot of "magic" in it. By magic i want to it's a movie about the life of people and their symbol. During the movie the barber shop transforms from an ugly place in a bad neighbourhood to a family. It's full of stories and hope, the chance for a clean life. In a way i want to own that barber shop and i think everyone wants that barber shop. It's about something we all lost and need back. We could live without a lot of things if we don't know their value but this movie actually reminds us of a few of them. And it has a lot of lost concepts nowadays in a movie. It has a low budget and great dialogue with great people in it. They are not glamorous they have a message to share and no stereotypical dialogue(like in iron man,avengers, spiderman etc) So if you watch this movie, don't quit, don't stop, don't do something else. It's a life lesson that needs to be seen. I would say this is a more diverse Raisin in the sun with a bigger family and the business is a clean one.

I don't get to see a nearly all black actor filled film, and this one wasn't too bad, from director Tim Story (Fantastic Four). Basically it is a day in the life of a barbershop on the south side of Chicago. Calvin Palmer (Ice Cube) inherited the struggling business from his deceased father, and with an ambition to do other things, he sells it local loan shark Lester Wallace (Keith David). Slowly though he realises his mistake, and Wallace instead of taking back his money wants double, so Calvin is pretty sure his barbershop will have to close its doors. He can either convince Wallace to forget the debt, or raise it, Eddie (Cedric the Entertainer) who has been there since it opened is determined Calvin can#t and won't sell it. There is also a slapstick filled subplot where J.D. (Anthony Anderson) has stolen a cash dispenser and is trying to find a good place to hide it, and before the end it ends up at the barbershop, where Calvin can collect a reward for returning it. Also starring Sean Patrick Thomas as Jimmy James, Eve as Terri Jones, Troy Garity as Isaac Rosenberg, Michael Ealy as Ricky Nash and Leonard Earl Howze as Dinka. The film is filled with black stereotypes, and there are moments where you really have to listen to understand what they are saying, but it amusing. Worth watching!

The barbershop, especially in Black culture, has always been a communal spot. The shop is usually packed with shabby heads waiting to be groomed while the barbers quickly and carefully shaved and shaped the hair of the head in front of them. The barbershop was never short on conversation, hot topics, and a wide array of opinions."Barbershop" did a good job of capturing that in comedic fashion. Although Ice Cube is a sub-par actor, the supporting cast and the story itself were enough to overshadow his poor performance. Don't get me wrong, I don't think Ice Cube is a horrible actor, he just lacks the range and ability to do much more than the angry black man role. The cast of characters was very well chosen. Cedric the Entertainer's presence helped the movie a lot. There is not a movie that he is in except that he enhances it.The movie had a nice even tone to it: not too funny, not too serious, not too much going on, not too many slow parts. The main story was nicely complemented by the other sub-plots involving the other characters. I'm especially pleased that the Barbershop was not depicted as a vulgar place not suitable for kids or anyone with decent morals. I wouldn't mind seeing more movies like this.
