The Barbershop Depicted Very Nicely

The barbershop, especially in Black culture, has always been a communal spot. The shop is usually packed with shabby heads waiting to be groomed while the barbers quickly and carefully shaved and shaped the hair of the head in front of them. The barbershop was never short on conversation, hot topics, and a wide array of opinions.

"Barbershop" did a good job of capturing that in comedic fashion. Although Ice Cube is a sub-par actor, the supporting cast and the story itself were enough to overshadow his poor performance. Don't get me wrong, I don't think Ice Cube is a horrible actor, he just lacks the range and ability to do much more than the angry black man role. The cast of characters was very well chosen. Cedric the Entertainer's presence helped the movie a lot. There is not a movie that he is in except that he enhances it.

The movie had a nice even tone to it: not too funny, not too serious, not too much going on, not too many slow parts. The main story was nicely complemented by the other sub-plots involving the other characters. I'm especially pleased that the Barbershop was not depicted as a vulgar place not suitable for kids or anyone with decent morals. I wouldn't mind seeing more movies like this.
