-Calvin's barbershop is going well till a businessman comes into town and starts buying out every store on the block. After failing to convince Calvin to sell his store he retaliates by building his own barbershop which creates huge problems for Calvin because now he has to deal with a rival barbershop that threatens to put him out of business.
-it's not a terrible movie per say but it just feels extremely unnecessary. The first one was a nice little movie that surprised everyone by being so blatantly honest and offensive but that was pretty much it. After you saw it you didn't really cry out for more and want to see the characters in another movie. but to their credit they tried to turn out more than the average Hollywood sequel by allowing us to get to the know the characters a bit more especially Cedric the Entertainer's character. we delve more into his past to find out why he and Calvin's dad had such a great friendship and we also go to the romantic side with his character by revisiting an old flame that comes back into his life. there is also a nice story about how the store is being threatened and how they all deal with it which provides for some great moments. they do all they can to compete with the new barbershop which is more 21's century where as they are old school but as the movie suggests people do prefer the old school approach when it's done right as oppose to the new school which is all just strictly business and no friendly banter.
-the great dialog that the first movie was infamous for is not entirely gone from this movie but has rather just lost some of the originality and the punch that the first movie's dialog had. There are a few great pieces of dialog in the movie but it never quite matches up to the wonderful stuff from the first movie. a lot of the great humor from the first movie is back in this one. The funniest scene to me is when the Mayor comes in to have his haircut and it all goes to hell. on the acting side there's really nothing spectacular going on and there are moments that will leave you wondering why the director didn't do another take. the soundtrack to the movie is amazing and I don't mean the score but the songs in the movie and on the CD. The track from Outkast titled "I Can't Wait" is the best track on the album and I wish it was featured more in the movie because as it stands it's in the movie for about 20 seconds and that's it. The rest of the songs are okay but nothing that comes close to that amazing Outkast song.
-it's no where as inventive or as fun as the first one but it is decent entertainment and has a really great soundtrack.
