Critics Consensus

Heartfelt, thought-provoking, and above all funny, Barbershop: The Next Cut is the rare belated sequel that more than lives up to the standard set by its predecessors.

3/5

This one, thankfully, boasts some welcome new cast members (including the rapper Common and Nicki Minaj), a new director in Malcolm D Lee (the cousin of Spike), and a fearless approach to difficult subjects.

Barbershop: The Next Cut brings topical social issues into the narrative but only starts meaningful conversations without genuinely pushing them forward.

3/5

What most captivates is the rhythm of those scenes in which the characters mount the soapbox to share stinging observations on a variety of topics in an often hilarious back-and-forth battle of words.

The Next Cut is a comedy with dramatic heft or a drama with solid comedy, depending on how you look at it. Either way, it more than justifies returning to the barbershop.

I did not laugh much, but it is effective on an emotional level, as a portrait of a people trying to cope with gang violence that is spinning out of control in their community.

A more mature installment that seeks to challenge audiences as often as it cracks them up, Next Cut marks a charming and enjoyable evolution of the series.

A fun movie with a nice message on preventing gang violence. Good performances from most the people involved, including Nicki Minaj which I thought was cool because most musicians are terrible actors/actresses (Ice Cube was born to be an actor btw he was just a rapper first). Whenever the movie focuses on Jaylen, it gets pretty darn interesting. I live in an area where the news is always talking about this terrible stuff and the lives it claims. So needless to say I enjoyed the movie.

It has the same ammount of energry, humor, and charm as its predecessors, but it plays it safe with the plot and writing. In fact, it retreads old plot points from its predecessors. The reduced role of Eddie is a major problem.

It's a little corny and unrealistic, and the stunt casting is a bit jarring, but once you get used to it, the end result is another fun trip back to the barbershop with old friends.

The acting and cedric's one liners make this movie! Although, the premise of the ceasefire seems a bit unrealistic, it's a feel-good movie with a nice message behind it.

Another fun addition to a classic series. It lacked some of the fun characters from the first two but it was still fun to get a new movie from the series. Pretty serious issues were discussed as well.
