Barbershop 2: Back in Business

The Barbershop is back and Ice Cube still can't act. I guess you can't blame him for trying... or is he trying? He had a decent enough supporting cast around him for his lack of acting skills to go partially unnoticed. I like Cedric the Entertainer so his parts were small boosts to help me through the rest of the movie. It goes as no surprise that the first Barbershop was better. The story just wasn't as compelling this time around. A modern, state of the art, super barbershop opens across the street from Calvin's small, traditional, and welcoming barbershop; posing a threat to his business. This happens just after he got through saving his barbershop too. Of course there are the sub-plots as well, and they were equally uninteresting if not more. Overall, you are treated with a few laughs and a happy ending, so the movie wasn't all bad.
