The owner of a historic South Side Chicago barbershop is pressured to sell out to a land developer, but must face the impact this would have on his close-knit community.
The continuing adventures of the barbers at Calvin's Barbershop. Gina, a stylist at the beauty shop next door, is now trying to cut in on his business. Calvin is again struggling to keep his father's shop and traditions alive--this time against urban developers looking to replace mom and pop establishments with name-brand chains. The world changes, but some things never go out of style--from current events and politics to relationships and love, you can still say anything you want at the barbershop.
The plot involves a new, hipper franchise barbershop that is moving across the street from Calvin's barbershop. So, he feels like he has to change and improve his shop by getting newer stuff and such. Sounds real exciting huh. As for the rest of the film, a lot of it involves the same material from the first film. The people that work at Calvin's stand around, talk loud, and mouth off to each other and the customers. Once again Cedric the Entertainer was mildly funny, but it is more like he's doing a stand-up routine than anything to do with the movie. And Calvin is faced with another moral issue involving taking a large sum of money. He's already shown that he will do the right thing in the end.
Time for another haircut -- the buzz is back in Barbershop 2. Calvin (Ice Cube), Eddie (Cedric the Entertainer), Terri (Eve), Jimmy (Sean Patrick Thomas), Issac (Troy Garity), Ricky (Michael Ealy), and Dinka (Leonard Earl Howze) are open for business again at Calvin's Barbershop, with Queen Latifah cutting up as Gina, a stylist at the beauty shop next door. Calvin is again struggling to keep his father's shop and traditions alive, this time against urban developers looking to replace "mom & pop" establishments with name-brand chains. The world changes, but some things never go out of style -- from current events and politics to relationships and love, you can still say anything you want at the barbershop.
