Barbershop: The Next Cut (2016)
looong litany of transparent clichés
The movie is terrible. It starts with the totally artificial setting: A ton of people sitting around in a barbershop indulging in group talk all day long. That's cheap to shot, but not realistic, is it? The dialogs are transparent, obvious and unintelligent, hitting cliché after cliché after cliché. The actors are stereotypical, shallow. There is nothing interesting to discover in this movie, no surprises. There is no plot. It's all just endless boring talk. Who wants that on a movie night?! The movie wants to carry big messages, but it fails, because it's just so badly made and boring. We wanted to like this movie and expected laughter and surprises, but got none of that. No one in the theater laughed, ever. We walked out after 30 minutes, because it seemed like an utter waste of time.
