I just cant find it funny

I thought it was funny no comedy masterpiece but still enjoyable.

Well of course it's not what happens when one goes into a barbershop. This is a movie. In case you forgot, movies aren't real. Therefore, one should not expect for it to be true to life. I swear...people, if you just used your brains every once in a while, life would be sooooooo much easier for you.

I agree. There were a few funny moments that I could count on one hand but overall, it wasn't funny. At least not to me.

If you wanted a movie with what happen at "great clips", you would not watch it. This movie was very funny.

Next thing I know you're going to be questioning whether or not the dialouge in Return of the Jedi is authentic to the dialouge used on the actual Deathstar. As has been said a few times before, this is a movie, it's not a real Barbershop. But if you've ever been to an actual Barbershop, you'd know that people DO talk, now maybe discussions on Rosa Parks don't come up every day, but you'd have to have been to EVERY Barbershop in the world to assume that not one place has people like the characters or the discussions in this movie. They don't tag the movie as things that go on in an actual Barbershop, it's things that go on in this ONE Barbershop, a fictional one at that.

Name one movie that IS true to life, besides some documentaries or based upon, I say some because most of those are hear/say anyway. Don't get me started on the genre of Romance movies, or as I like to call them "You're boyfriend sucks, hump the screen movies" which feed people with bullcrap. Women with the belief that there is something better than the man that they have, and men with the belief that their women will leave them for Russell Crow or Colin Farrel. movies with lines like "You had me at hello" and/or "You make me wanna be a better man" are pure B.S. because, truth is, most women or men won't say that crap to their partner, it's a line, it's fiction, it's a 1 hours and 30 minute piece of work to make you feel good and/or hopeful for that bit of time. Next time you watch a movie, note this, Finding Nemo and Barbershop are all the same, both are fiction, only difference is instead of using people, they use ink and paint. Neither is more real then the other. In the many movies where Jesus Christ is crucified, unlike the real story, J.C. and Pontius Pilate leave the grounds and go have lunch in eachother's company. It's fiction!

In a real barber shop, not a beauty parlor, it is. Up until a few years ago, I've always had my hair cut at small, hole-in-the-walls shops. The camaraderie and conversation is very real. If you go to one of the commercialized joints, forget it. You're in and out with nary a word said.

I didn't think it was funny either. Some how I was forcedto see the sequal too, where once again I didn't laugh much. I walked out of the films feeling like I just cant relate at all to the culture of it, and therefore it didn't appeal to me. And then my friends assured me that I am indeed a white person, and that is why I couldn't relate to the characters. But I didn't see them laughing all that much either. I think they just wanted to make fun of me yet again for being "see-through".
