Barbershop 2 Trailer!
I didn't care much for the first but will probably check this one out anyway. Keenan chopping some guy's hair off was funny though.
Check it out HERE
By the way is Anthony Anderson in this one?

I hated the first flick and was STUNNED when it grossed so much... I don't think I'll be seeing this one... looks like more of the same, which ain't a good thing.

I know alot of people enjoyed the first one, myself included, but was anyone really clamoring for a sequel? It's not like there's much more you can do with this concept or the characters.

Barbershop 2 - quick review
I think Barbershop would work better as a sitcom than a franchise of films because of the challenge a long-time barbershop faces in light of the new, more hip barbershop opening right across the street from Calvin's just doesn't really warrant the big screen treatment.
There are some funny and somewhat insightful bits during the barbershop banter between all the barbers at Calvin's, but it's just there, not many comedic sparks or fireworks in this film, and while we find out more about Eddie (Cedric the Entertainer) and how he finds his way to Calvin's and why he doesn't have to pay for his chair, I didn't think audiences were clamoring for his story.
There are other subplots, but nothing all that interesting.
I give it 2 stars, or a grade of C.

Just watched this again on dvd. The quote on the cover says "An even richer, smarter, funnier sequel." They should've left out the funnier part. Not nearly as funny or as raw as the first. It's got jokes. Just not as many or as funny. They definitely were going for the "richer, smarter" thing with the movie. And they did succeed. But I wanted a flat-out comedy fest. At least they still had Eve
