Barbershop is probably one of my favorite movies of all time. It was funny, good acting, great dialogue, and surprisingly the sequal Back In Business had all that too. But, the chemistry lacked a little bit compared to the first one.... Full review

Yes, it is AFS (Another Failed Sequel). The oomph and pizaaz from the original are simply not shown in Back in Business. The story and moral are good, however, it doesn't go with the flow of Barbershop. In the first film,... Full review

Instead of finding my sensibilities piqued by the ethical dilemma at the core of the drama, my only emotional involvement became an increasing pity for a worthy cast attempting to make something tangible out of ultra thin material.
The idea might just work as a TV sitcom, but to have had any chance as a movie the screenplay badly needed an appointment with a large tint brush and the Electrotrim 2000.

The Dish Barbershop 2 wasn't as funny to me as the first one
The Directive Barbershop 2 is very much worth heading out and seeing with the family and take some time to read my interviews with the cast.

Lest this sound like damning with faint praise, I reiterate that I did like Barbershop 2 , and appreciate its cast and crew for their efforts.
Cedric and Queen La's Dozens at the 'Que took me back to the day, I swear; but it was over too soon, and when they weren't going at it, the film suffered somewhat.

This was a good movie, but not as engrossing as the first one.
An enjoyable and fun film, whose only flaw is not being quite as funny or involving as its predecessor; not bad at all for a sequel.

| Jun 29, 2004PopMatters
Skipping from moment to moment, the movie is attentive to local detail (girls jumping rope, folks on the street), less concerned with plot.
Also back for another go is straight-laced Jimmy (Sean Patrick Thomas), now working for Alderman Brown, and increasingly squeamish about the deals getting made.
