Barbershop 2: Back in Business Ratings & Reviews
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Just as sharply funny and as heartwarming, yet unsentimental, as the first.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
This sequel is overstaffed with a cast that's underserved by Don D. Scott's schematic script and Kevin Rodney Sullivan's crude direction.
San Jose Mercury News
Glenn Lovell
As fragmented and heavy-handed as the first installment was smart, funny and, yes, at times unexpectedly sweet.
Seattle Times
Erik Lundegaard
It's still funny and warm and neighborly inside Calvin's barbershop; it's just a little predictable as soon as you step outside.
San Francisco Chronicle
Carla Meyer
Warmhearted and surprisingly ambitious.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
A dutiful mood -- call it sequelitis -- has descended on the place.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
As in the original film, it's the chemistry among the actors that really counts. And fortunately, the filmmakers have reassembled the terrific cast.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
The story gets bogged down in some pace-stopping scenes about community gentrification, some mildly confusing temporal transitions, and some exchanges that should be side-splittingly funny but are only mildly amusing.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Great message delivered in an edgy hip-hop movie.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
What to do when a relatively small, modest budgeted urban comedy becomes a massive critical and word-of-mouth hit? Make a sequel to cash in on the phenomenon, of course. It is the Hollywood way, after all...
Variety
Todd McCarthy
Provides enough solid, character-based amusement to put customers in the chairs and send them out content with services rendered.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
[A]s funny as the original.
Salon.com
Charles Taylor
Like going out for a bad meal with a group of people you love being with. You're happy to be in their company; you just wish you didn't leave feeling hungry.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Heartstrings will be tugged and ribs tickled, particularly thanks to Cedric the Entertainer.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
It's a warm, often funny reunion of the sassiest, chattiest characters ever to buzz a brother's head.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
There's no question Eddie was the chief asset of the first film, and sequels are required by law to exploit the original's strengths. But the filmmakers have misread Eddie's appeal.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
The filmmakers clearly put considerable thought and imagination into making as a good a sequel as they could.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
What's intact from the original is the premise's big heart and the wonderful ensemble led by Ice Cube.
Houston Chronicle
Eric Harrison
As funny as the first movie, but it's narratively scattered.
Detroit News
Tom Long
A movie that cares about its audience, cares about the concept of community and makes you laugh time after time after time.
