Barbershop: The Next Cut

Everybody's back for a fresh cut

The third in the series has had a surprisingly good reception. It's been more than 10 years since our last appointment at Calvin's Barbershop. Calvin and his longtime crew are still there, but the shop has undergone some major changes. Most noticeably, the once male-dominated sanctuary is now co-ed. The ladies bring their own flavour, drama and gossip to the shop challenging the fellas at every turn. However the surrounding community has taken a turn for the worse, forcing Calvin and his crew to come together to not only save the shop, but their neighbourhood.

ScreenIt T. Durgin For a film that did a good job showing the messiness of inner-city urban life, the problems its screenplay brings up are not really resolved and the questions asked are not really answered even though the script kind of pretends they are.	11
