Another ethnic movie, much like Bend It Like Beckham. I enjoy movies when they can connect with the audience and this one did it. Showing the history of Calvin's shop and how [forgot his name — the barber with free rent] first met with Calvin's father and their relationship gave a glimpse into how their relationship developed and came to be. The scene where the community comes together to fight commercial takeover showed the reality of life and how a big business can bully people out of their livelihood just for that bottom line. The ending, however, is quite weak and shortchanged in my opinion, but overall that can be forgotten.
My eloquence at it's best. lol.
