A 2002 American comedy film directed by Tim Story and released by MGM. Starring Ice Cube, Cedric the Entertainer, Sean Patrick Thomas, and Anthony Anderson, Barbershop revolves around social life in a barbershop on the South Side of Chicago. The movie also proved to be a star-making vehicle for acting newcomers Eve and Michael Ealy, and was followed by two sequels, a spinoff, and a TV adaptation.Calvin (Ice Cube) has plans to launch a record label… which is yet another of the many plans he's had. Right now, though, he owns a pretty-much insolvent barbershop in south Chicago. His father and grandfather owned it before him, and he has a retinue of (mostly) black barbers working for him. Calvin has other plans, though, and sells the shop to Lester Wallace. However, Lester wants to take the shop in a direction that Calvin doesn't approve of, and Lester demands double what Calvin paid him to buy it back. Add to this that two guys steal an ATM from the convenience store near the shop, hoping to get rich from the money inside. Later on in the day, the police storm the shop and arrest one of the barbers. Said barber is an ex-con with two strikes on his record, and the robbers (one of them is the barber's cousin) used his truck in the crime. Even worse, they're willing to let him take the rap for the burglary. Can Calvin save his friend and the shop?In 2004, MGM released the sequel, Barbershop 2: Back in Business. All of the original cast returned, but director Tim Story did not. This film was directed by Kevin Rodney Sullivan. In the same year, Billie Woodruff directed a spin-off film entitled Beauty Shop, with Queen Latifah as the lead (Latifah's character made her debut in Barbershop 2). The film was pushed back from a late summer 2004 release, and finally reached theaters in February 2005.During the fall of 2005, production company State Street and Ice Cube debuted Barbershop: The Series on the Showtime cable network, with Omar Gooding taking over Cube's role of Calvin. The character "Dinka" is renamed "Yinka" on Barbershop: The Series, as "Dinka" is not a typical Nigerian name (although a certain tribe in the Nigerian middle belt bears the name "Dimka"). In addition, Isaac's last name is changed from "Rosenberg" to "Brice", and the character Ricky has been replaced by a more hardened ex-con, Romadal.In 2016, the third film in the series, Barbershop: The Next Cut, was released. Directed by Malcolm D. Lee and distributed by MGM and New Line Cinema, this film brought back Ice Cube, Cedric the Entertainer, Sean Patrick Thomas, and Anthony Anderson and added Nicki Minaj, Common, Regina Hall, and J.B. Smoove among other new cast members. | |

Hidden Depths | |
| Barbershop / int_2dc0d2bf | comment |
Hidden Depths: Dinka has a great appreciation for poetry. Ricky is actually pretty smart. He not only stuns Jimmy with presenting an argument, he also corrects him on the fact that scallops are shellfish. Eddie comes across as a bumbling old man who can be The Load but he's a skilled barber who treats it as a craft, and the barbershop as a pillar of the community. | |

Ask a Stupid Question...: Calvin tries to break up a fight over who drank Terri's apple juice, and Checkers Fred chimes in saying that Calvin's dad wouldn't let something like this happen in the shop. Calvin asks, "Do I look like my father?" It seems the entire shop thinks so. Billy tries to get his sister to stay quiet about the ATM, at one point appealing to her situation, asking who would take care of her if something were to happen to him, like jail. She immediately says, "My mama". | |

Only Known by Their Nickname: Played with in the case of Checkers Fred. We know his name is Fred, but he is usually referred to as "Checker Fred", or "Checker". | |

Epic Fail | |
| Barbershop / int_b4eff8a8 | comment |
Epic Fail: Billy tries to break the ATM open with an axe. One of his first swings destroys a lamp in the hotel room. A subsequent swing causes the head of the axe to fly off the handle. Even the axe handle gets destroyed over the course of his efforts. To top it all off, the ATM had just been installed and had no money in it. | |

Hypocritical Humor | |
| Barbershop / int_b707726f | comment |
Hypocritical Humor: A woman hears about the ATM theft on the radio, she says that "some people are bad at parenting". Then when her daughter drives her scooter past her, she tells her to be careful. Then the daughter enters her brother Billy's room with the ATM. When Terri is throwing her tantrum over someone drinking her apple juice, Calvin tells her to stop cussing, but seconds later, compares Hennessy to her "funky ass apple juice". | |

Plucky Comic Relief: A lot of Eddie's scenes are oddball rants. Ray (known as "Hustle Guy" on IMDb). He keeps coming back, despite Calvin keeping on telling him to go away, and his sales pitches can be Refuge in Audacity. And then there's J.D. and Billy with their bumbling antics at attempting to open the ATM they stole from a local convenience store. | |

The Load | |
| Barbershop / int_e68b72 | comment |
The Load: Eddie plays this straight with some caveats. He mostly sits in his chair all day doing no work and doesn't pay rent on it. That said Calvin's father told Eddie that he would never have to pay for his chair after Eddie saved the barbershop from being burnt down following the riots after Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination. Plus when the occasion calls for it he does dispense some insightful wisdom to the younger barbers. Billy is a straighter example of this in the first movie. Every time he and J.D. have to find someplace new to stash the ATM, it's almost as though he goes out of his way to hinder the process, from dropping the machine on J.D.'s foot, to setting the room they're holed up in ON FIRE. | |

Inspector Javert: Detective Williams automatically assumes Ricky stole the ATM, due to his criminal history and already having two strikes. He came to the barbershop to get a trim (which Ricky deliberately gave him a bad cut), only to tell Ricky if he finds out he's the culprit he'll personally have him arrested. When officers found the truck used to steal the ATM and belonged to Ricky, he immediately barged into the barbershop to place him under arrest. | |
