A smart comedy about a day in a barbershop on the south side of Chicago. Calvin ( Ice Cube), who inherited the struggling business from his deceased father, views the shop as nothing but a burden and a waste of his time. After selling the shop to a local loan shark, Calvin slowly begins to see his father's vision and legacy and struggles with the notion that he just sold it out.[ citation needed]
This sequel to the 2002 film returns to the Chicago barbershop owned by Calvin Palmer Jr. ( Ice Cube). His employees—Isaac ( Troy Garity), Terri ( Eve), Ricky ( Michael Ealy), Dinka (Leonard Earl Howze) and Kenard ( Kenan Thompson)—have their own personal and workplace problems, and a new barbershop called Nappy Cutz has moved in across the street. As Calvin tries to change the character of his business, Nappy Cutz and gentrification become a threat to the surrounding community.
A spin-off from the first two Barbershop films, Gina Norris ( Queen Latifah) is a widowed hairstylist who has moved from Chicago to Atlanta so her daughter, Vanessa ( Paige Hurd), can attend a private music school. She has made a name for herself as a stylist, but after her self-centered boss, Jorge ( Kevin Bacon), criticizes her decisions, she leaves and sets up her own shop, purchasing a run-down salon by the skin of her teeth by helping out a loan officer.
Malcolm D. Lee directs, while Ice Cube and Cedric the Entertainer are among the cast of the film. [1] The film was released on April 15, 2016.
In April 2023 after previously acquiring MGM, Amazon announced plans to expand the franchise with a new television series in development through Amazon Studios. [2]
