Title: cooning on camera
Review: While some people still wonder where Waldo might be, others might wonder where and why Ice Cube turned out the way he did. Instead of evolving in music, culture and film he turned his focus onto sophomoric humor and bombastic slapstick with "we are the world" dialogue that adds up to nothing but a neo-version of "Birth of a Nation." All the cardboard characters in Barber Shop get crafted into stereotypes that do not add up to much but minimal spurts of bathroom humor. Ice Cube weaves in and out of serious topics about ownership, real-estate, white collar crime and Anglo fantasies but these addressed get re-dressed and celebrated for their errors and mistakes. In my conclusion, there is no redemption to the immoral of the story. Nothing here is worth the price for this dvd. I would suggest Spike Lee's "WE CUT HEADS" film (1984) as a real, funny, sad, contemplative, sophisticated film that captures the essence that is lacking in this lackey's flick!
