At least Norbit tried to come up with fresh new awfulness instead of idling in these familiar old ruts.

After scripting both Barbershops, writer-director Mark Brown appears to have exhausted his ability to create new and interesting characters to inhabit The Salon.
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle
Fresh
Despite all the stock characters and scenarios, Fox and company manage to bring things to life. And cut some hair.
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
Rotten
The best scenes in Barbershop featured incisive discussions of current events. Here, the closest brush with topicality is a reference to Eddie Griffin.
Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger
Rotten
A feeble dramedy about a Baltimore beauty shop where someone should come in to sweep up the cliches.
Kyle Smith, New York Post
