A day in the life of a barbershop on the south side of Chicago. Calvin, who inherited the struggling business from his deceased father, views the shop as nothing but a burden and waste of his time. After selling the shop to a local loan shark, Calvin slowly begins to see his father's vision and legacy and struggles with the notion that he just sold it out.

Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Some of the verbal jousts are hot, and a Laurel and Hardy routine involving a stolen ATM is fitfully hilarious, but this reminds me of a pilot for a cable sitcom.

Barbershop is a cozy place to hang out for a while, even if you don't need a little off the sides.

The movie's heart is in the right place, which generates enough warmth to make one root for it.

A flat-out hilarious ensemble comedy that probably made me laugh out loud more than any other movie this year.

It's a likable venture that just misses being a lovable one.
