Barbershop 2 is an entertaining film to watch. However, the plot is as thin as my mother's hair (sorry mom). The movie is a bit of a repeat of the first movie (the barbershop is threatened by closure, this time by competition). I also found Queen Latifah's glorified cameo more of a distraction than an addition. she will have her own movie with the beauty shop next door but here her character is completely extraneous. Like the first movie, the highlight of the Barbershop 2 is the politically incorrect talk going on in the barbershop. There is also a hilarious scene where the alderman tries to have a photo opportunity in the barbershop and everything goes wrong. New to Barbershop 2 is the backstory telling how Cedric The Entertainer's character came to be at the barbershop and the experiences of the barbershop back in the 50s and 60s. These scenes are well done and tells us whey Cedric The Entertainer's character is allowed to do virtually nothing at the barbershop. Good performances and watchability help this movie a lot. Not as good as the first movie but worth a look. 6/10
