Itβs been more than 10 years since our last appointment at Calvinβs Barbershop.
Calvin (Ice Cube) and his longtime crew, including Eddie (Cedric the Entertainer), are still there, but the shop has undergone some major changes. Most noticeably, our once male-dominated sanctuary is now co-ed. The ladies bring their own flavor, drama and gossip to the shop challenging the fellas at every turn. Despite the good times and camaraderie within the shop, the surrounding community has taken a turn for the worse, forcing Calvin and our crew to come together to not only save the shop, but their neighborhood.
Ice Cube and Cedric the Entertainer are reunited in βBarbershop: The Next Cut,β directed by Malcolm D. Lee (βThe Best Manβ films, βWelcome Home, Roscoe Jenkinsβ). βBarbershop: The Next Cutβ reteams the producers from the first two films, Robert Teitel, George L. Tillman and Ice Cube.
The film also stars Regina Hall (βThink Like a Manβ), Oscar winner Common (βSelmaβ), Sean Patrick Thomas (βBarbershopβ), Eve (βWhip Itβ), Anthony Anderson (TVβs βBlack-ishβ), Jaszmin Lewis (βBarbershopβ), JB Smoove (TVβs βThe Millersβ), and recording artist Nicki Minaj (βThe Other Womanβ).
βBarbershop: The Next Cutβ opens nationwide on April 15, 2016.
