Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Barbershop (2002)

If only they'd stayed in the shop! They split the narrative between the workaday wondrousness and camaraderie of the neighborhood barbershop and two bumbling fools toting around and trying to get the cash out of an empty ATM. If they had stayed with the interesting and beautifully acted shop scenes, this would have been a pure winner. As it is, they've dumbed it down to almost loser status. Shop Scenes: A-; all the rest: C-.

On the whole: C
