Critics Consensus

Barbershop makes the cut with an amiable cast and decent laughs, though some of its more muddled elements could used a trim.

Anita Gates New York Times Omar Gooding is a pleasant enough fellow, but his character's deepest conflict seems to be about whether to stand up to his wife when she insists that he hire her "sister's husband's brother's wife's uncle's kid," who has just been released from prison. Sep 25, 2019 Full Review Brian Lowry Variety Messy, unruly but occasionally quite funny, "Barbershop" doubtless could use a trim here and there, and perhaps a little extra styling. Sep 25, 2019 Full Review Robert Bianco USA Today What it lacks, unfortunately, is style - some sense of smart, well-executed, up-to-date design. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 25, 2019 Full Review Alan Pergament Buffalo News All the jokes don't hit, but "Barbershop: The Series" hits often enough to prevent any accusations that it harms the movie's identity. Rated: 3/4 Sep 25, 2019 Full Review M.S. Mason Christian Science Monitor Though the series is marred by unnecessarily harsh language and sexual innuendo, it presents an affectionate and comic picture of street life. Sep 25, 2019 Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Showtime's new show based on the movies is actually pretty funny. Pretty profane, too, but still funny.
