A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Calvin ( Ice Cube) owns a barbershop in the infamous South Side of Chicago. He is combined with a salon as both women and men cut hair, although I am not sure why the guys have their hair cut by guys. The group includes a good cross section of characters and personalities. They must deal with the battle of the sexes, including misogyny, raising children, and gang violence. About half way through the film, after good character introductions, they opt to try a cease fire by offering free haircuts on the weekend to rival gang members creating a neutral ground.I was pleasantly surprised. Ice Cube got to play a more serious role in this dramedy. Topics included the Kardashians, R.Kelly, and the word "fleek." The shop has more barbers than customers and some characters only appear for a moment and then leave...like Isaac (Troy Garity) a white guy who likes black women. The shop also has an Indian barber (Utkarsh Ambudkar) to give us a different perspective and has to ask permission to say the "N" word.Like "Chi-Raq," the film is all about saving Chicago from gang violence, as more successful African-Americans are reaching back. It was a good heart warming comedy/drama with a positive message for Chicago.Guide: 1 F-word I recall from Ice Cube. No sex or nudity. Adult talk.
First and foremost the depiction of Chicago is just offensive, gang violence is a serious issue but gang members aren't recruiting kids by offering them twice their lunch money. Another glaring problem is the forced celebrity endorsement. Nicki Minaj was sub par and common's acting was awful, and their characters added little to nothing to the actual story line. Even the addition of Anthony Anderson just felt forced, just to add an extra name to the roaster. Now what I love about the film is the return to the roots of the original barbershop movies. The pointless conversations , the banter, and the relatable characters. Growing up these movies were an homage to the everyday experiences of getting my haircut in a barbershop. There was a lot about the movie and quite honestly they could've left this series alone and started something different or given the series an entire reboot because so much of the movie had been changed. I couldn't care for the subplots and new characters but the things I loved about the movie were still there and now that it's on hulu I totally recommend watching it while braiding your daughters hair.
It's an alright third part of the (now) Barbershop trilogy.Not that very many people actually asked for a third one but yeah it didn't turn out too bad, not as good as the first (which to me is a borderline classic) but slightly better than the second (which to me was just okay).Not tremendously many surprises to be found, mostly consisting of people discussing various topics in a barbershop per usual. This time though often in a more serious tone as opposed to the previous films where it was mostly about the jokes (and yes black lives matters etc are covered in the topics but not to the point that it gets exhausting they do mix it up a bit).Most of the old cast have been replaced with new characters, Ice Cube, Cedric and Eve are the only barbers to return in this movie.Troy Garrity and Sean Patrick Thomas does both show up but they've left the barbershop and only serves as cameos this time around.Michael Ealy and Leonard Earl Howze (African dude) are nowhere to be found.The newer recruits are mostly okay though albeit can't really fill the big shoes the original gang left, Common might be an exception though, always found him to be one of the better rappers turned actors. Nicki Minaj mostly serves as eye-candy but it works.Also JB Schmoove replaces DeRay Davis (who has said not even to been asked to return) as the 'hustle guy', I don't think they are the same character per sé but they don't really differ a whole lot.Tyga who I'm not really much of a fan of I must admit is pretty good as a gang member in this.Anyway overall, watchable for sure but if they do a fourth one they have to switch things up a bit more.
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
