  Review in the media was excellent. But the movie just did not 'cut' very well with me.

  DO NOT WATCH
  
  I loved the Friday collection and was expecting similar comedy. I was very disapointed. This film is sh*t!

  Classic Ice Cube Comedy
  
  Ice Cube himself wasnt the centre of the Comedy in this film unlike Friday, but this was just as funny as one of the Friday sequels.

  Overrated
  
  Little humour when compared to the summary storyline provided. Not worth a look unless out of a desperate need to watch a movie!

  Daring, funny movie.
  
  First, fantastic carpenters, painters and set decorators, as it is a very faithful display of a classy barbershop.
  
  Secondly, thank you for the jokes... read more »

  A feelgood movie
  
  I enjoyed Barbershop. I thought it was a nice triumph-against-the-odds comedy, similar in feel, if not content to films like 'Sister Act'.
