Barbershop (2002) D: Tim Story. Ice Cube, Cedric the Entertainer, Sean Patrick Thomas, Anthony Anderson, Eve, Troy Garity, Michael Ealy, Keith David, Leonard Howze. Light, entertaining comedy about the day in the life of a South Side Chicago barbershop when the owner, who has music aspirations (Ice Cube, in a terrific performance) sells the shop to a loan shark and then wants it back. This plot parallels a funny subplot of two bumbling crooks who steal an ATM machine, then hit disaster after disaster trying to open it. Good-natured film with the dialogue as the key engine driving this film, it is a nice alternate to the much darker films in the year 2002. RATING: 7 out of 10. Rated PG-13 for violence, strong language, and sexual references.
