Puccio 5/5 "A cut above the rest."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 4/5 "Between the drama of Cube?s personal revelations regarding what the shop means in the big picture, iconic characters gambol fluidly through the story, with charming results."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery B+ "Like the original Friday, this movie is overflowing with outrageous characters that will make you smile. Just watching them interact is worth the price of admission."   Countingdown.com   Larry Carroll 3/5 "Like CAR WASH (1976), this loosely structured comedy is less about plot than character, and its characters are carefully drawn and flawlessly played."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 2.5/4 "Focuses too much on the tried and tired plot developments for the characters to completely grow on us."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik "A lovely little film about family and community pride and friendship, one that pokes gentle fun at stereotypes while never forgetting the real people behind a seeming cliché."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3.5/5 "The filmmakers managed to create seven interesting and well-developed characters, which is a welcome antidote to many lesser comedies that fail to develop a single one."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 3.5/4 "When the theater lights came up, I only knew that I wanted to go back to the shop tomorrow."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan C "It may be an easy swipe to take, but this Barbershop just doesn't make the cut."   Matinee Magazine   Nick Schager B "'Barbershop" is a good-hearted ensemble comedy with a variety of quirky characters and an engaging story."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten 75/100 "One of the best entrants in the fast-growing urban comedy genre."   Apollo Guide   Ryan Cracknell B- "Like a veteran head cutter, Barbershop is tuned in to its community."   Eclipse Magazine   Sean O'Connell "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf 6/10 Read review   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Dragan Antulov B Read review   EricDSnider.com   Eric D.
