Percy Jones (Bernie Mac) is taking no chances with his daughter Theresa's (Zoe Saldana) future. Even before he meets Simon Green, her latest boyfriend, Percy has him checked out. On paper, he passes with flying colours -- great job, good investments and a promising future. But there's one thing the credit report didn't tell him: Simon Green (Ashton Kutcher) is white. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Unless, of course, Simon wants to marry his daughter, which he does!

Genre: Comedy
Distributor: MGM
Cast: Queen Latifah, Alfre Woodard, Alicia Silverstone, Andie MacDowell, Della Reese

Gina Norris (Queen Latifah) is a long way from the Barbershop -- she's moved from Chicago to Atlanta so her daughter can attend a prestigious music school, and she's made a name for herself at a posh salon with her cutting edge hairstyles. But when her egotistical boss, Jorge (Kevin Bacon), takes credit for her work, she leaves the salon with shampoo girl Lynn (Alicia Silverstone) in tow to open a shop of her own. Gina buys a rundown salon and inherits a motley group of headstrong stylists, a colourful clientele and a sexy piano-playing electrician, Joe (Djimon Hounsou). It's a rocky road to fulfilling her dreams but you can't keep a good woman down.
