Barbershop 2: Back in Business

2004 · 106 min

A warm, chatty hangout movie where jokes and arguments flow as freely as haircuts, with a gentle tug of community pride.

Tagline: Let your hair down.
Overview: 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.
How it feels: Warm, satirical, earnest and melancholic. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Family, friendship, class, identity
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
