A funny movie, but also a serious movie, and — who knows? — maybe an important one.

Tampa Bay Times
Barbershop: The Next Cut's heart is in the right place, and I enjoyed nearly every unkempt minute of it.

The Hollywood Reporter
Barbershop: The Next Cut, the third installment in the film series, brings the laughs while injecting a serious topical theme that gives it a welcome edge.

New York Daily News
At times, the latest Barbershop might get too serious for some, but as far as the comedy goes, it remains a cut above the rest.

TheWrap
With its combination of workplace sitcom and social activism, Barbershop: The Next Cut feels more like a binge-viewing of multiple episodes of a TV series than a movie, but even on that level, it’s a show worth watching.
67
The A.V. Club
Though this series is built on comic looseness, it’s that sincerity that carries through its minor comedic missteps, like underusing Hall and leaning too heavily on Cedric’s wacky-old-man shtick.

The Guardian
Barbershop: The Next Cut is hardly subtle, but it is more nuanced than you might expect.

Variety
The movie derives its energy almost entirely from the bristling quality of the dialogue and the easy ensemble flow of the performances.
