A light, airy comedy with community-thematization and a well-known ensemble, Barbershop’s surprisingly-heartfelt center, engaging dialogue, and Ice Cube lead performance make-up for a few bad gags & the poorly-scripted subplot. 6/10.

Full Review Coming Soon

Plot Synopsis: A smart comedy about a day in the life of a barbershop on the south side of Chicago. Calvin (Ice Cube), who inherited the struggling business from his deceased father, views the shop as nothing but a burden and a waste of his time. After selling the shop to a local loan shark, Calvin slowly begins to see his father’s vision and legacy and struggles with the notion that he just sold it out.
