	Sweet Adelines International Singers
		Although no one can say exactly when or where barbershop music began, the growth of the tradition was certainly aided between the 1860s and 1920s by the types of songs popular at the time - songs characterized by sentimental lyrics and uncomplicated melodies that could be harmonized with a variety of four-part chords.
		Barbershop harmony's four voice parts are still called by their traditional names - tenor, lead, baritone and bass - whether referring to men's or women's vocal groups.
		Barbershop singing is no longer restricted to male quartets; there are many women's quartets, and both men's and women's choruses now enjoy this unique art form.

	"Barbershop" with Cedric the Entertainer reviewed by Steve Sailer for UPI
		During one long, possibly final, day at the barbershop, he learns just how important his small business is to the people around him, and to his responsibilities as a husband and new father.
		Barbershops play a particularly important role for men in the "inner city community" precisely because, as Jamaican-born Harvard sociologist Orlando Patterson has observed, due to low rates of stable employment and marriage it's just not all that much of a community.
		Fortunately, traditional fl barbershops offer structured environments where proprieties are observed and elders can offer the younger generation some hard-earned life-lessons, assuming they are willing to shout loud enough.

	St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture: Barbershop Quartets
		A barbershop quartet is any four-person vocal music group that performs a cappella, without instrumental accompaniment--the popular American music of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
		The barbershop style of singing has its roots in an old American pastime known as "woodshedding," in which one person would lead a group in song by taking up the melody of a popular tune, and the rest of the group would then improvise harmonies to that melody.
		Most barbershops had a radio, and the term "barbershop singing" is said to have originally referred to the way in which customers would improvise or "woodshed" harmonies to whatever popular song might be playing on the radio as they waited their turns for a haircut or shave.

		Director Tim Story's debut, 'Barbershop' is about the characters that work at and hang out in a neighbourhood hair-cutting establishment.
		It's the barbershop that time forgot, full of old-fashioned chairs, yellowing photos, populated by elderly chequer players and clichés - but no mention of drugs, gangs or drive-by shootings despite its location in a run-down Chicago neighbourhood.
		Where 'Barbershop' does score, however, is in having Cedric the Entertainer as senior cutter Eddie.

	BarberShop - Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews
		The advertising for BarberShop proudly plugs the film as being from the producers of Soul Food, which is as good a place to start as any.
		BarberShop also tends to meander and run a wee bit longer than it probably should and is just a shade less accessible than Soul Food.
		The comedy of BarberShop ranges from genial to hysterical and, short of a bit of slang or a music reference here or there, there is nothing inherently difficult about the first hour, give or take, but great googly-moogly there is a ton of it to wade through.

	Film Quips \| BARBERSHOP
		Regardless of the news surrounding it, Barbershop is for the most part a funny, thought-provoking, and well-performed film that deserves to be seen.
		Though his deceased father has passed into legend for his many years of ownership and his generosity with the poor, Calvin himself is plagued with debts, his wife (Jazsmin Lewis) is expecting their first child, and his last loan application fell through.
		While Cedric's age make-up, with fake-looking pieces of cotton inserted in his hair, is neither convincing nor necessary, his portrayal is often howlingly funny, and his opinions, controversial or not, provide a side of the race issue not often seen by white folks.

	BarberShop - Movie Tome (Site not responding. Last check: )
		With enough lively banter to keep its customers happy for years, Barbershop is a loose, lanky comedy with its heart--and its humor--in all the right places.
		But Calvin is devoted to his employees and local customers, and when he makes an ill-considered deal with a loan shark (Keith David), the future of the barbershop hangs in the balance.
		There's a goofy subplot involving a stolen cash machine, but what gives Barbershop its abundant charm is its compassionate, feel-good vibe for its likable characters--not just scene-stealer Cedric the Entertainer (as Eddie the veteran barber, whose shaving lesson is a shining pearl of wisdom), but the entire well-chosen cast.

		The first Barbershop was a pleasant surprise, an easygoing comedy that had its ear turned toward the community and its heart in the right place.
		Barbershop 2 answers that dilemma and improves on its predecessor in the process.
		Barbershop 2 doesn’t take a little off the top but lets its vibe grow out, which allows for deeper character development, interesting subplots and a worthy backstory for the franchise’s most engaging character, Eddie (Cedric the Entertainer).

	ToxicUniverse.com - Tim Story - Sept. 13, 2002 - Barbershop Movies Review
		Ice Cube is Calvin, the owner of Calvin's barbershop, who has recently come upon financial hard times and negotiates a deal with a local loan shark (Keith David) to turn over ownership of the establishment so that he may be relieved of some of the financial burden.
		Barbershop finds just the right tone as Cedric the Entertainer's monologues border between hilarious and insightful, with a hint of nostalgia thrown in for good measure and often remind us and Calvin just what is being given up.
		The subplot involving out-of-their-depth crooks is given just enough screentime that their appearances seem welcome, no matter how much the movie didn't necessarily need them (although, to be fair, it is integral to the plot that this be included).

		Barbershop is a smart comedy about a day in the life of a barbershop on the south side of Chicago.
		As warm as it is wise, deftly setting off uproarious humor with an underlying seriousness that sneaks up on the viewer, providing an experience that is richer than anticipated.
		What makes Barbershop so likable, with all its flaws, is that it has none of the pushiness and decibel volume of most contemporary comedies.
