It's been more than 10 years since our last appointment at Calvin's Barbershop. Calvin and his longtime crew, including Eddie, are still there, but the shop has undergone some major changes. Most noticeably, our once male-dominated sanctuary is now co-ed. The ladies bring their own flavor, drama and gossip to the shop challenging the fellas at every turn. Despite the good times and camaraderie within the shop, the surrounding community has taken a turn for the worse, forcing Calvin and our crew to come together to not only save the shop, but their neighborhood.
The conversations in the barbershop seem a bit more forced than the previous Barbershop films. The overriding plot about gang violence is very simplistic to say the least, and Cube's son goes from wanting to join a gang to a choirboy in too short a time. 2.5-2 out of 5.
