Review of Barbershop: The Next Cut (2016) by Travis W — 25 Mar 2016
The movie was HIGHLY entertaining! Everyone did a remarkable job & the introduction of Minaj was absolutely a great choice to add to the team of stylists! Cedric The Entertainer does "entertain.
" His jokes combined with that of Minaj's really made the movie hysterical! I had the opportunity to see the film at an early test screening before it even comes out in theaters. The film was hysterical; no doubt about that, but it also addressed some real-life issues that is going on in the world currently and I feel that is why this 3rd installment was made.
The majority of the film was about deep issues, but they also wanted the audiences to appreciate that you cannot be scared all the time, but that you have to face the insane and terrifying obstacles that are placed in your path.
Everyone has the tendency to run away from their problems, but you have to face them head on and what will be- will be. That is the lesson that Ice Cube's faced and portrayed throughout the film.
No matter what challenges came his way- Calvin wanted to make a change to make things better for his family and especially for his son. Some of his methods were a bit extreme, but he realized that running away does not solve anything because the same problem can happen wherever and whenever and that no one and nothing is immortal in this life.
I loved this film so much because it combined humor at just the right moments before or after an important topic was being addressed. I feel that the director of the film inserted the humorous parts at just the right times in the entire film! The movie was funny, real, stylish, fresh, and on point just like the haircuts in Calvin's Barbershop & I will be there for the next cut- just hope it is within 10 years! Lol!
