 Barbershop
is a comedy about a day in the life of 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 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.
Calvin's barbershop is filled with an eclectic and hilarious
cast of characters that share their stories, jokes, trials and
tribulations. In the shop we find Eddie (Cedric the Entertainer),
an old barber with strong opinions and no customers. Jimmy (Sean
Patrick Thomas) is a highly educated barber with a superiority
complex who can't stand Isaac (Troy Garity), the new, white barber
who just wants a shot at cutting some hair. Ricky is an ex-con
with two strikes against him and is desperately trying to stay
straight. Terri (rap star Eve, making her feature film debut)
is a hard-edged woman who can't seem to leave her two-timing
boyfriend. And lastly there's Dinka, a fellow barber who is madly
in love with Terri but doesn't get the time of day.
