Review of Barbershop: The Next Cut (2016) by Matt G — 10 Oct 2016
Who would've thought the third in this broad-comedy series would be so smartly and sadly of its time? A great parable for systemic racism, it's as incisive as it is funny. Newcomers Morris and Cole steal the humor, and its down-to-earth soul propels the gang and police violence nicely.
Since most people won't watch Chi-Raq, I'm glad this exists for the mainstream. Even with the corny speechifying, soap opera romances, awkward exposition, and silly score, it just straight up works.
