“Barbershop” provides a comical and realistic depiction of one of the simplest, yet significant mainstays in the African American community.

“Barbershop” reminds our community that the barbershop is one of our most valuable pillars.

Watching the movie, you soon realize the importance of the barbershop in its customer’s lives.

The Barbershop provides this community with an essential service, and is also a social arena for its clients.

The actors displayed extraordinarily charismatic acting abilities, as well as strong personal chemistry.

Eve made her debut as Terry, the quick-tempered, down for her man, around the way girl.

Those beginner’s “direct from the script lines lacking any shred of personality” were nowhere to be found in her performance. She showed that her capabilities definitely span much farther than the fantastic rap artist she has proven herself to be.

Ice Cube has proven himself to be a versatile actor. He handles the role of the ambitious, quick-witted, respectful barbershop owner Daryl as no one else could.

“Barbershop” illustrates the point at which a business goes from simply providing a service to becoming a source of community solidarity and support.

This barbershop bridges the gap between the best of both sides of the community.

Everyone, from the hustlers to the preachers, come to enjoy all that the barbers have to offer in addition to a haircut.
