We just returned from seeing

We just returned from seeing the weekend’s box-office champion, “Barbershop,” a comedy which I believe will prove to be some kind of a minor classic. The rapper Ice Cube takes a star turn as Calvin, the proprietor of the eponymous barbershop. Mr. Cube is serious and likable in a way that took me entirely by surprise. But Cedric the Entertainer steals the show as Eddie, the ancient barber who is a paragon of political incorrectness. The NY Times review provides a little of the movie’s flavor.
