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.

The original was TERRIBLE.

I doubt a sequal will be any better

I know MGM is desparate for some hits...

doesn't look bad to me..

and I enjoyed the first one too..

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.

this somehow got 4 stars in the baltimore sun (as did "miricle"

I thought it was much better than the original.

I thought I had somehow gotten the wrong paper, I couldn't remember the last time ANY film, let alone two in the same issue, had gotten 4 stars.

well they did give 4 to seabiscuit, lotr rotk, dark blue (the kurt russel movie from early 2003), master and commander, and a few others this year.

yea, they must be getting soft. I just didn't expect Barbershop to be the sort of movie they'd like. Do you remember what the first one got?

when is Ice(I hate the blue-eyed devil) Cube gonna stop selling out and make a new racist record. I'm dying over here.

It was becuse his Daddy built this city with bweliitts.

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
