the first film be quite hip and have amuse moment and this film doesn not exactly have the same standard . calvin palmer ( ice cube ) be still try to keep his barbershop go and but this isn not just against stylist gina ( queen latifah ) with a beauty shop next door and but soon enough a big barbershop chain call nappy cutz opening across the street . calvin and along with co worker and friend eddie ( cedric the entertainer ) and jimmy ( sean patrick thomas ) and terri ( eve ) and isaac rosenberg ( troy garity ) and they be do everything they can to keep regular customer come and and ultimately their business run against the competition . also star michael ealy a ricky nash and leonard earl howze a dinka and harry lennix a quentin leroux and robert wisdom a alderman brown and jazsmin lewis a jennifer and kenan thompson a kenard and bad company garcelle beauvais nilon a loretta . i do not like this film as much a the first because of the unnecessary flashback about eddie and and it isn not a witty and i just get bore of it . okay .
