After more than a decade the South Side Chicago barbershop is now a unisex salon with both men (Ice Cube and Cedric the Entertainer) and women (Nikki Minaj, Regina Hall and Eve) employees. The men and women stylists argue good naturedly, but decide to work together to stop the rising violence in their neighborhood. Also with Anthony Anderson, JB Smoove and Common. Directed by Malcolm D. Lee. [1:52]

SEX/NUDITY 4 - A woman wears a series of tight-fitting spandex outfits that include several bra tops that show large cleavage and bare midriff, matching yoga pants and a knee length skirt and while in a car she leans over from the passenger seat and asks the driver to come inside her apartment and he refuses; when she leaves, he talks to himself, muttering about how she was hanging out of her clothes and inviting him to have sex. A woman wears a tight dress that reveals significant cleavage; she flirts with a barbershop customer, fluttering her eyes, smiling and asking him to call her. A man brings out a picture of a woman wearing thong panties with her nearly nude buttocks to the camera and we see a heart tattooed or painted on one buttock. A man wears a T-shirt covered with lines that form the outline of a woman with large breasts.
► A wife tells her husband at home to take his pants down and he refuses, then says that he is not a piece of meat; she bends over the couch, saying, "Get on up in it now!" as she slaps her buttock and he refuses her, walking into the kitchen. A woman twerks on a sidewalk into the camera lens; a man begins twerking briefly and then rubs his body up and down the corner of a building like a pole dancer.

VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - A gang approaches teen boys in a parking lot and threatens them, showing handguns in their waistbands and another gang drives up and points long-barreled handguns at the others who drive away. Two teen boys argue about joining a gang and one of the boys runs to tell the father of the other boy about a gang initiation; the father drives to the location and sees gang members threatening his son to join them officially or suffer a beating or worse and the boy sees his father and leaves with him. Two gang leaders attack each other in different scenes, and other men get in between them and stop them. A woman attacks another woman and a man gets between them to stop the fight and screaming. A woman kicks a man in the rear end and he jumps. Groups of teen boys look threateningly at one another in high school hallways.

A man gets a length of pipe in case a gang comes in his shop in. A barber locks up a gang leader customer's two handguns in a side table. Gunshots fire outside a shop and barbers rush to lie on the floor to avoid gunfire (no one is hurt). A barber removes his belt and snaps it, threatening to whip a boy (he does not). A woman finds gang related materials in her teen son's dresser drawer.
► Multiple gunshots fire off-screen and we see EMT vehicles and police cruisers with flashing lights and blaring sirens as a voiceover announces increasing violence in Chicago, with shootings, children dying, and people fearing street gangs. We hear statements that people are afraid of gangs in a few scenes. A council person reports to a group of barbers that the city wants to build a cage around 20 square blocks of the South Side in order to control traffic and gang activity through a monitored entrance and exit; the group disagrees angrily.
