Leave your thoughts about Barbershop: The Next Cut.
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleA funny movie, but also a serious movie, and — who knows? — maybe an important one. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderAs well-meaning but insubstantial 'issues' movies go, it's a pleasant one, with a large, likable cast and a palpable respect for the community it represents. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazetteDan LybargerFor the most part, Lee and company still manage to coax solid laughs and to give the grim facts the gravity they deserve. |
| Lyles' Movie FilesJeffrey LylesA more mature installment that seeks to challenge audiences as often as it cracks them up, Next Cut marks a charming and enjoyable evolution of the series. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperIt’s impressive how well director Malcolm D. Lee (working from a script by Kenya Barris and Tracy Oliver) balances the serious material with the bawdy, freewheeling comedy pieces. |
| Chicago ReaderLeah PickettThe fourth entry in the Barbershop franchise delivers keen social commentary, bringing back many of the key players from the 2002 and 2004 installments. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussDirected with unfussy efficiency by Malcolm D. Lee, cousin of Spike Lee, the movie arrives as very much a companion piece to Spike's 'Chi-Raq,' also crafted as a response to the alarming murder rate among young people in Chicago's inner city. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertIt's not groundbreaking stuff, but it's solid fun. If a studio is going to deliver a niche audience high-concept, low-cost films, this is the way to go. |
| The Movie KitKit BowenFor a third installment in a series, Barbershop: The Next Cut feels just as original and relevant as if this were the first one. |
| The Patriot LedgerDana BarbutoThe first half of the movie is especially fun when each character who enters sparks a deluge of one-liners, battle-of-the-sexes banter or pop-culture barbs about Kanye, the Kardashians and R. Kelly. |
