Barbershop
"Two Thumbs Up!" - Ebert & Roper and the Movies
From the producers of Soul Food comes this "warm, generous" (The New York Times) tale about 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!

This is the perfect movie to sit back and watch on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I found the movie to be thoroughly entertaining and funny, and the acting was superb. If I was to drop points on anything in this movie, it would be its play on stereotypes and its lack of any sub-plots. This is definitely worth a watch, though!Comedy stands out - Radio_Jane
A smart and charming african american comedy, with a great story line that stands on its own without crass and dirty jokes. I must say that Cedric the entertainer and Ice Cube did splendid jobs with there roles. Every once in a while it dragged, and there were a few jokes that were beyond me but all in all I loved it.Entertaining - CDM-
Ice Cube did a great job with a great supporting cast. A story about a family business in the inner city that is struggling to make ends meet. The characters were engaging and I was pleasantly surprised by this film. Good extras included on this DVD. A good rent for an evening.
