Description: Go back to the barbershop with Ice Cube, Cedric the Entertainer and an all-star cast in this "sharp, savvy"(Entertainment Weekly) sequel that's even "funnier than the first" (WWOR-TV)! Co-starring Sean Patrick Thomas and Eve, with a special appearance by Queen Latifah, Barbershop 2 isa "pleasing blend of humor, sentiment and commentary"(Los Angeles Times)! When a slick new clip joint called Nappy Cutz opens across the street from his barbershop, Calvin (Ice Cube)and his haircutters must make a stand to save the shop from bankruptcyand the neighborhood from a shady development deal. But as Calvin scrambles to keep up with progress, he discovers that the best way to really seize the future...is to hang on tight to his roots.
Amazon.com: Ice Cube triumphantly returns as Calvin Palmer, proud proprietor of a neighborhood barbershop in Barbershop 2. The first Barbershop was a surprise smash; even more surprising is how good this sequel is. The plot isn't much--there's a corporate haircutting chain opening across the street, leading to the usual sentiments about the importance of small businesses and neighborhoods--but the well-conceived characters and the loose, genuine banter give this movie a striking richness of feeling. Barbershop 2 cuts back and forth in time, flashing back to when Eddie (garrulous Cedric the Entertainer), the shop's oldest and most outspoken barber, first came to work for Calvin's father. Glimpses of black history give weight to the modern-day struggles; most impressively, this device doesn't feel forced or cynical. Also returning are Eve, Troy Garity, and Sean Patrick Thomas; Queen Latifah (Bringing Down the House) is a new face on the block. --Bret Fetzer
