Barbershop 2: Back in Business (Special Edition)

Movie / Show Details

Set Contains:

The DVD extras for Barbershop 2 are much like the movie itself–not especially inspired or surprising, but raffish and likable. None of the handful of deleted scenes seem unjustly left out, but a couple (particularly the ones featuring Cedric the Entertainer) prove entertaining. Of the two audio commentaries, the one by the director and producers falls flat, full of a lot of self-congratulation; the less self-conscious talk from the actors proves more amusing (with Cedric again providing most of the wit). A couple of music videos (one with Mary J. Blige and Eve, another with Sleepy Brown and Outkast) are enjoyable, but the usual outtakes (actors laughing at their flubs) and still photos are bland and perfunctory. –Bret Fetzer
