Description
From the producers of Soul Food comes this "warm, generous" (The New York Times) taleabout a Chicago barbershop where razor-sharp comedy never goes out of style! Starring Ice Cube, Anthony Anderson, Sean Patrick Thomas, Eve and Cedric the Entertainer, Barbershop is both a "sweet, life-affirming movie" (N.Y. Daily News) and outrageous, bust-a-gut fun!Calvin (Ice Cube) is a would-be entrepreneur with big plans and running his family's barbershop isn't one of them. But when he impulsively sells the shop to a shady loan shark, he soon realizes just how important the neighborhood parlor is to him and just how far he'll go to get it back!

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. Ice Cube plays Calvin, reluctant heir to his late father's barbershop on Chicago's South Side--a neighborhood institution that seems like a trap for a guy with bigger dreams. 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. It may seem like a lot of casual rap, but look and listen closely, and Barbershop will reward you with its danceable rhythms of life. --Jeff Shannon

This movie has it all, good story, comedy, drama, and wonderful characters. Every time I watch this movie (about 6 times now), I remember why I like it so much. Each of the characters are well developed and the story ties together. Do yourself a favor and if you haven't yet seen this movie, take the time to enjoy it.

I had already seen this movie and wanted to replace the VHS version i had of it. This is a great movie for young adults (ages 12-13) on up. Some vulgar language but not a lot. There is a great scene where knowledge of American History is good to have but otherwise not needed to enjoy this film.

A day in the life of a barbershop on the south side of Chicago. Calvin, who inherited the struggling business from his deceased father, views the shop as nothing but a burden and waste of his time. After selling the shop to a local loan shark, Calvin slowly begins to see his father's vision and legacy and struggles with the notion that he just sold it out. The barbershop is filled with characters who share their stories, jokes, trials and tribulations. In the shop we find Eddie, an old barber with strong opinions and no customers. Jimmy is a highly educated barber with a superiority complex who can't stand Isaac, the new, white barber who just wants a shot at cutting some hair. Ricky is an ex-con with two strikes against him and is desperately trying to stay straight. Terri is a hard-edged woman who can't seem to leave her two-timing boyfriend. And lastly there's Dinka, a fellow barber who is madly in love with Terri but doesn't get the time of day. The movie is funny and has a satisfying ending.

Calvin (Ice Cube) inherited his fathers Barbershop a few years ago, and while he likes it, it just isn't what he wants to be. He'd rather be doing something that will make him rich, such as recording music, because he wants to provide for his wife and kid. Sadly his father left him more than just the barbershop; he left him some serious debt with the barbershop. The bank wants to take the shop from him thanks to the debt, but Calvin decides to sell it to a local shady business man named Lester Wallace for a measly 40 grand so he can at least keep it a Barbershop. Lester lies to him though, and is going to turn it into a strip club. After Calvin changes his mind, Lester won't give the shop back for less than 80 grand. And Calvin just has a couple days to figure out how to get the rest of the money so he can keep his shop.
Barbershop is a nice little comedy dealing with the `black' barbershops. How they are like the local hangout or the office water cooler. It's where the men usually do their gossiping, or telling jokes, or just catching up with one another. The cast is diverse, but very 1, 2, 3. You have the angry upset black man trying to make something of himself, the one black man that tries to tell others they need to educate themselves, the old black man who doesn't care about things and tells lots of jokes, the angry black woman who sticks with her cheating man, the white dude trying to be black and everyone laughs at but he's the best haircutter there, the black guy who's hard on the outside and always going to jail... but a sweetheart inside, the actual African guy, and the usual peanut gang of customers. Actually as I type that out, it kind of sounds racist... but hey... I didn't write the characters. Cedric the Entertainer plays the old man, and even though he's not my favorite character, he did have some funny parts. I love how he rocks on people like Jesse Jackson and tells his thoughts on things. Stuff that if a white man said it, they'd be killed probably. Eve plays the woman role, and I really liked her character. She constantly made me laugh; especially when she came out holding her apple juice screaming at people cause someone drank it. And Eve is pretty hot.
All in all, the movie is just a nice little watch. Nothing great... but not bad either. Definitely give it a rent.
P.S. - I used to be best friends with a black kid named Chivas way back in the day when we were like 9 or 10. I remember one day he came over to my house to trade baseball cards and he had got his hair cut. It was that kind of box top thing but he had the most amazing thing I ever saw at that time done to his hair. He had Michael Jordan cut into his hair, doing his famous jump, over a Nike symbol. I was so mad my parents would let me do that with my hair. I wanted a ninja turtle done to mine. Or He-Man. Something like that.
