Ice Cube plays Calvin who has inherited his fathers Barbershop in Chicago 2 years previously and is tired of not making much money,truth to tell he isnt poor its just he is into the type of get rich quick schemes which leave you poor.He sells the shop to local Mr Big Lester Wallace(KEITH DAVID) who dresses from the Shaft 1970's collection but then changes his mind.
He doesnt tell his band of fellow barbers led by Eddie(CEDRIC THE ENTERTAINER) who steals all the scenes he appears in as the old school barber,along with Jimmy -the know all college kid and feisty female barber Terri played by fellow rapper Eve who has issues over her cheating boyfriend and whoever is stealing her apple juice,there is also Ricky played by handsome newcomer MICHAEL EALY who may or not be involved in the films sub plot the hijacking of an ATM machine in which Anthony Anderson and Lahmard Tate play clueless thieves JD and Billy.Rounding out the crew is white jewish wanna be a black man Isaac Rosenberg and lovestruck African Dinka who has the hots for Terri but goes in vain.
The two pronged story of Calvins problems and the heist of the ATM dovetail nicely at the end and this is a well acted ,well made movie which should deserve a much wider releasen then it will probably get.Ice Cube delivers his best role to date and shows real promise as an actor,he is light years away from his NWA era angry-young-man.This movie is well worth watching and stands up to repeated viewings.
The film is funny from start to finish and it leaves you wanting more.
I was surprised by Eve's acting skills which are very good.
A must have film in your collection
