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!
Amazon.com:
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

Rating:  - Funny
barbershop is one of those nonesense movies that you can actually enjoy. it has witty comedy and good comedians such as ice cube, cedric the entertainer & more. this is a very good movie. it's a must see
Rating: - Right on target: Laugh out loud funny, sharp wit; great lines
Great Saturday (or any day, actually) movie. Very funny from beginning to end! Where else but the barbershop (or the beauty shop) can anyone "tell the truth," as Eddie the "senior" barber (portrayed by Cedric the Entertainer) says! It's good ... The lines weren't THAT controversial, were they? How many stories in the press haven't been a bit exaggerated here and there? How many "legends" have their flaws and faults ... even JFK? Why take offense. It's the community of the barbershop that counts! ... Read More
Rating: - "Checker Fred! Just sit there and play checkers!"
There are kids out there who only know Ice Cube from movies. If he's not there yet, I do believe that Cube is getting precariously close to becoming better known as an actor than a rapper. As someone who's bounced up and down to his hip hop flavor since his NWA days, I can't help but feel that this is a bit of a shame. On the other hand, I do enjoy his film stuff. Dude's got his mojo going on cinema. Certainly, Cube's been one of the few folks who've successfully transitioned from music to movies. ... Read More
Rating: - One of Ice Cube's best films
I had very high execpations walking into Barbershop back in 2002 and my execpations went way past what I thought. Barbershop is clealry one of the best films I've seen . The story is a simple one but the film acutally goes into depth anout how important a barber shop is to the Black Amercian community or any ethnic group for that matter. Ice Cube gives an NAACP Image award worthy performance in the film as Calvin. Cube is cool and charamistic as Calvin the owner of the shop and his supporting cast ... Read More
Rating: - Great movie with a lot of heart
Barbershop is awesome. it's a very nice, humble movie about Calvin (Ice Cube) who inherits a barbershop from his father. Thing is that Calvin doesn't want to run the barbershop, he wants to do other stuff, including trying to produce music, which fails.
His shop is about to be foreclosed by the bank, so he goes to Lester Wallace who is going to buy the shop and turn it into a strip club.
That's the story line, but there is much more to it.
The acting is awesome, the story ... Read More
