Movie Reviews of Barbershop 2: Back in Business (Special Edition)
Movie Review: Barbershop 2 Is Better Than the First!
Summary: 5 Stars
I gave "Barbershop" a three star review, so it was surprising to me when I walked out of "Barbershop 2" amazed on how much better it was from the first. Don't get me wrong, I like the first one better now, but "Barbershop 2" is one of those rare sequals where it's better than the first, and it's a brand new idea with fresh new humor. "Barbershop 2" is a movie about change. Throughout the entire movie, everything that happens around the barbershop is changing. The neighborhood, some of the buildings and stores, and people's minds. In the first film, everybody in the stores around the shop are standing firm and not worrying about being taken over by money. In the second film, everybody wants to change because of money, except for the barbershop. There is a huge difference in characters from the first movie to the second.In "Barbershop 2" Calvin Palmer is a new father, who owns his fathers barbershop from 1958. The many people who work in his shop begin with Issac, the only white barber, who claims that he is the best in the shop. There is the african Dinka, who has a crush on the only women barber Terri. But Terri seems to have feelings with ex-thug Ricky, who is trying to get his life back on track, but also shares the same feelings for Terri. Calvin's cousin Kernard is coming right out of barber school, and Calvin gives him a job in the shop. The former barber of the shop Jimmy, is working for politician Alderman Brown, but he is still a regular customer. Calvin's ex-girlfriend Gina owns the beauty shop next door. As Calvin tries to get through his day with the bickering and loud conversation, he is facing his own problems. A vacent lot across the street turns out to be a new hair salon called Nappy Cutz. Calvin decides that he can't have the shop shut down, as it is a neighborhood landmark, so he decides to style up the place. We also hear the story of old barber Eddie, who does not have to pay rent for his chair at the shop because of a story where he stands up to the rioters after the Martin Luther King Jr. assassination. But as the days go on, Calvin does not know what to do to be able to keep his customers who have been coming for years and years.
"Barbershop 2" really has better humor than the first. My favorite scene is where Gina and Eddie are having an arguement during a BBQ. Just listening to how well their comments play off on each other just adds to the fun that the orignal "Barbershop" movie created for us. Throughout both of these films, you could like the characters, and because of "Barbershop 2" you could just grow to liking them even more. The sequal could be seen without having seen the first, but the first one makes the second one great. "Barbershop 2" is one of the best films of the year so far.
ENJOY!
Rated PG-13 for language, sexual material and brief drug references.
Summary of Barbershop 2: Back in Business (Special Edition)
BARBERSHOP 2:BACK IN BUSINESS - DVD MovieIce Cube triumphantly returns as Calvin Palmer, proud proprietor of a neighborhood barbershop in Barbershop 2. The first Barbershop was a surprise smash; even more surprising is how good this sequel is. The plot isn't much--there's a corporate haircutting chain opening across the street, leading to the usual sentiments about the importance of small businesses and neighborhoods--but the well-conceived characters and the loose, genuine banter give this movie a striking richness of feeling. Barbershop 2 cuts back and forth in time, flashing back to when Eddie (garrulous Cedric the Entertainer), the shop's oldest and most outspoken barber, first came to work for Calvin's father. Glimpses of black history give weight to the modern-day struggles; most impressively, this device doesn't feel forced or cynical. Also returning are Eve, Troy Garity, and Sean Patrick Thomas; Queen Latifah (Bringing Down the House) is a new face on the block. --Bret Fetzer
