    Barbershop 2: Back in Business
    2004

    Synopsis

    The continuing adventures of the barbers at Calvin's Barbershop. Gina, a stylist at the beauty shop next door, is now trying to cut in on his business. Calvin is again struggling to keep his father's shop and traditions alive--this time against urban developers looking to replace mom & pop establishments with name-brand chains. The world changes, but some things never go out of style--from current events and politics to relationships and love, you can still say anything you want at the barbershop.

      Entertainment Weekly

      Smart enough to hook us with the best thing it has going: Cedric the Entertainer's gruffly uproarious and lived-in performance as Eddie.

      L.A. Weekly

      An even richer, smarter, funnier sequel.

      Seattle Post-Intelligencer

      Less cartoonish and more generous than the original.

      USA Today

      Just as sharply funny and as heartwarming, yet unsentimental, as the first.
    • 70

      The Hollywood Reporter

      Has a rollicking time reaching its foreseeable conclusion.

      Washington Post

      What separates Calvin and Eddie from the typical comic hero -- and each "Barbershop" movie from the standard yuk-fest -- is that these folks know how to back up all the hot air with meaningful action.

      Chicago Tribune

      This time around, the razors are a little duller, the clicks not as slick, the patter not as snappy.

      The A.V. Club

      Intermittently funny, and at times even affecting, but its drama veers into soap-opera territory, and its comedy too often reeks of sitcom laziness.
