A cut above, 12 June 2004
Author: movieman_kev from United States

This "black" comedy centering among the titular Barbershop is suprisingly not bad. I say suprisingly because a good majority of comedies centering on black people seem to exist only to mock how stupid white people are. This film wisely keeps that to a minimum and it benefits greatly because of it. That's not to say that it doesn't have a few faults. The stolen ATM sub-plot could've been dropped from the movie completely and the film works best when it's focused on the shop. The only film that I not only find Cedric funny in, but he's the best person in the movie. Plus it's Ice Cube's best film since "Three Kings". And ANY film that doesn't buckle down to Jessie Jackson and his rainbow shakedown gets my respect.

My Grade: B-

Where i saw it:TMC
