‘Barbershop’ Too Serious For Its Own Good

Jeff Vice of the Deseret News reviewed the Ice Cube funded and starring ‘Barbershop’, giving it two stars. Vice said, “Frankly, Story is fortunate to have this cast. Ice Cube is naturally charismatic, even if he still mumbles his lines. And you can see Cedric the Entertainer pushing the material to be funnier than it is. However, the usually funny Anthony Anderson is awful as Ricky’s shifty cousin, whose subplot drives the film’s second half.”
