Director: Tim Story
Genres: Comedy
Rating:
Calvin (Ice_Cube) never wanted to take over the family business, a barbershop on the south side of Chicago. Disgusted with the shop's crime-ridden neighborhood, and caught up in his moneymaking schemes, one morning Calvin decides to sell the shop to the shady Lester (Keith_David). Chastised by his pregnant wife, Jennifer (Jazsmin_Lewis), for his rash decision, Calvin spends the day cutting heads at the shop, and starts to understand the importance of the legacy his grandfather and father have left to him. The bickering barbers include Eddie (Cedric the Entertainer), the old-timer with his own unique perspective on black life; Terri (rapper Eve in her film debut), a hot-tempered woman with a trifling boyfriend; Jimmy (Sean_Patrick_Thomas), a college educated snob; Ricky (Michael_Ealy) a reformed criminal; Isaac (Troy_Garity, the son of Jane_Fonda and Tom_Hayden), a white B-Boy, whom no one is ready to let cut their hair; and Dinka (Leonard_Howze), a recent African immigrant who's too shy to express his feelings for Terri. Calvin learns to appreciate them all, and discovers that the place where they work is more than just a place to get a haircut -- it's a meeting place for the neighborhood, a place where folks can speak their minds and find out what's happening. Calvin gradually changes his mind about selling the shop, but it may be too late. Meanwhile, a bumbling thief, J.D. (Anthony_Anderson) spends a painful day trying to crack open the ATM he's stolen from the grocery store across the street. Barbershop was directed by Tim_Story and produced by George_Tillman_Jr. and Robert_Teitel, the producers of Soul_Food. Barbershop had its world premiere at the 2002 Urbanworld Film Festival.
