Barbershop: The Next Cut

The difference between a black and white barbershop is that police don't shoot up the latter every other week.

Surprisingly, it's not the cops conducting drive-bys in this comedy, but gangbangers.

As the owner of the first coed barbershop/salon, Calvin (Ice Cube) is constantly caught in the crossfire of the daily disputes between his female (Nicki Minaj, Eve) and male (Common, Sean Patrick Thomas, Cedric the Entertainer) employees.

But he's caught in a deadlier crossfire when a turf war erupts on the block. To fight back, he throws a benefit for the neighbourhood that garners national attention.

While this shearing series is showing signs of lassitude, especially in the laugh department, this second sequel is on point when it comes to the issue of gun-violence. However, Common's infidelity sub-plot involving Nicki Minaj undermines the message.

Furthermore, with women around men can no longer hangout at the barbershop all-day drinking Barbicide.
