Sequel to the sassy, straight-talking hit comedy centred around a Chicago barbershop. Calvin (Ice Cube), having overcome his financial difficulties, is no longer in danger of losing his shop - but his neighbourhood is in danger of losing its identity. A huge, faceless corporation is moving into the community with the intention of setting up name-brand coffee bars, video stores - and a well-known hairdressing chain which they are planning to open right across the street from Calvin's shop. Calvin and his crew must take a stand to keep the South Side and its businesses in the family tradition. Meanwhile, it's business as usual at the barber shop: customers still get plenty of gossip, personal guidance, stories, jokes, discussions and political commentary included in the price of their haircut.
In this follow-up to the 2002 original, BARBERSHOP 2 reunites the same cast of characters for more fun and laughs. Ice Cube is the charming Calvin Palmer, one of South Side Chicago's most upstanding business owners. But when the nefarious Quentin Leroux (Harry Lennix) shows up across the street with the flashy, hip Nappy Cutz, Calvin's shop is in jeopardy once again. While contending with his constantly bickering staff of barbers (Cedric the Entertainer, Eve, Sean Patrick Thomas, Troy Garrity, Michael Ealy, and Leonard Earl Howze), Calvin must also decide whether or not to take a payoff from the slimy Alderman Brown (Robert Wisdom).Director Kevin Rodney Sullivan and screenwriter Don D. Scott open their sequel with a heartwarming ode to the major figures in African-American culture over the past fifty years. But while the film retains that spirit, it doesn't forget the tricks that made the first BARBERSHOP such a smash hit. Cedric the Entertainer's hilarious Eddie gets much more screen time, including a flashback that explains why he will always be welcome in Calvin's shop. There's also Gina (Queen Latifah), Calvin's fiery ex, who runs the beauty shop next door, and who is well on her way to becoming a screen franchise of her very own.
