It has been over ten years and Calvin's (Ice Cube) barbershop is still a fixture in the neighborhood, but to maintain he had to knock down a wall and take on a partner Angie (Hall) who runs the adjoined lady's salon. Calvin, Angie, old faithful master barber Eddie (Cedric The Entertainer) and the rest of the crew While operating a respectable business, struggle with the surrounding effects of the war from Chicago's rivaling street gangs. With the streets being overrun with senseless bloodshed and not pleased with the states' idea to solve the problem, Calvin and the staff decides to host a weekend truce between the gangs offering free hair services as a start to stop the violence. But also on Calvin's mind he must come to terms about if he is going to relocate the shop to a better neighborhood so that he can save his teen son from the lures of the street gangs that are enticing the young boy.
Reel Talk:
After a long wait our favorite barber shop has returned. Yes Ice Cube is back as shop owner Calvin, along with Cedric The Entertainer as the foul mouthed, wise cracking Eddie, Eve is back as Terri and a host of newbies in Regina Hall, Common. Nicki Minaj and scene stealers the hilariously funny J.B. Smoove, Lamorne Morris and Utkarsh Ambudkar. That's right just like the previous films this one is just as funny with a good message with regards to the violence that is plaguing the streets of our urban cities. A very good movie that I highly recommend. Good hearty laughing is always what the doctor prescribes and this will surely fill that prescription.
