Review of Barbershop

Barbershop (2002)
2/10
Yo, this movie stinks, brother!
20 January 2003
Yeah, yeah, I know my 'language skills' could use improvement, but what do you want from me? Anyway, I'm here to express my opinion on 'Barbershop', not to receive criticism for my vocabulary. Oh, by the way, this movie stinks!

The previews for this film looked really good. Though I'm not prone to going out and renting these types of movies, I eventually did make it around to seeing this comedy, if that's what some insist on calling it.

The casting was terrible. Though I hate to admit it because I find him to be absolutely dreadful, Cedric the Entertainer (although among tasks on his to-do list involve actually entertaining me) brought a couple of laughs out of me. That's just because I agreed with him (on the O.J. and Rosa Parks bit) while he managed to poke fun at the whole ordeal. I was kind of pleased to see Sean Patrick Thomas, those ATM guys were kind of funny, but all in all, the casting was horrible. Among the top snoozers: Eve and Ice Cube.

The plot is extremely weak, but what can one expect nowadays? Everybody claims that 'Barbershop' is hilarious, funny, amusing, the best! Wrong. As I have mentioned, Cedric came through with, perhaps, five successful jokes. The rest of the film consisted of annoying writing that tried to be funny but failed terribly.

Well, the previews looked really good, as do all of today's movies. The actual movie, however, was another story. 'Barbershop' is slow, not really funny at all, had a bad cast and was just weak all over. This one managed to get a 2 out of me. Do not see this!
