Not cutting

Barbershop: The Next Cut (2016)

Directed by Malcolm D. Lee this film stars Ice Cube, Cedric the Entertainer, Regina Hall, Anthony Anderson and Nicki Minaj. Staff at a Chicago barbershop shoot the shit and show concern about the state of their neighbourhood.

While this much belated sequel does raise a number of really important issues it deals with them in a very lightweight manner. The comedy is predictable at times, often going for the low hanging fruit but does at least raise a chuckle at times. There is a good cast but this does feel like some what of a lazy effort at times.


3/5
