Ice Cube, Cedric the Entertainer, Sean Patrick Thomas, Eve, Troy Garity, Michael Ealy, and Leonard Earl Howze - they're still cutting hair and cutting up in Calvin's shop on the South Side of Chicago, with Oscar®-nominee Queen Latifah joining the fun as Gina, a stylist at the beauty shop next door, and Kenan Thompson stepping in as a rookie trying to earn his clippers. In Barbershop 2: Back in Business, Calvin (Ice Cube) has gotten over his money troubles and is no longer in danger of losing his shop - but his neighborhood is in danger of losing its identity. Intent on "regentrifying" the South Side, a money-hungry corporation is moving into the community with coffee bars, video stores, and a big-name haircut chain, and the area's "mom and pop" establishments are in danger of losing their hometown advantage. While juggling changing situations, new loves, and looking for ways to better their lives, Calvin and his crew have to take a stand to keep the South Side and its businesses in the family. And of course, the crew still has time for its signature Barbershop discussions - outrageous, explosive, and hilarious. The world changes and so do hairdos, but some things never go out of style - you can still say anything at the barbershop. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures is proud to present Barbershop 2: Back in Business, a State Street Pictures and Cube Vision production. Directed by Kevin Rodney Sullivan, the film stars Ice Cube, Cedric the Entertainer, Sean Patrick Thomas, Eve, Troy Garity, Michael Ealy, Leonard Earl Howze, Kenan Thompson, and Harry Lennix, with a special appearance by Queen Latifah. Barbershop 2: Back in Business is produced by Robert Teitel, George Tillman, Jr., and Alex Gartner from a script by Don D. Scott, based on the characters created by Mark Brown. With executive producers Mark Brown, Ice Cube, and Matt Alvarez, the talented production team includes director of photography Tom Priestley, production designer Robb Wilson King, editor Paul Seydor, costumer Jennifer Bryan, and music by Richard Gibbs, with additional music by Wu-Tang Clan featuring The RZA.
