RottenTomatoes Score: 92% (6.8/10)

Box Office: The belated $20 million sequel is by no means a huge success, but it has re-established the financial viability of the Barbershop brand, having pulled in double its price tag so far.

Verdict: Well, what a surprise this was, that the fourth film in the Ice Cube-starring series ended up being the best one yet, with its highly topical riffing on gun violence, while not forgetting to retain the fun that made the series popular in the first place.

Yes, it's broad comedy, but it's broad comedy well executed, aided by a strong ensemble, provocative subject matter (even if it's totally lacking in subtlety) and a welcome message.
