Ice Cube wrote and stars as Craig in this sequel to Friday, which he also wrote. His nemesis from that film, neighborhood bully Debo (Tommy "Tiny" Lister Jr.), has just escaped from county jail and is out to get revenge. To protect Craig, Craig's father (John Witherspoon) sends his son to stay with his Uncle Elroy (Don "DC" Curry), who won the lottery and bought a house in Rancho Cucamonga. Craig expects the suburbs to be dull, but no sooner has he arrived than conflicts arise: The neighbors are hostile hoods, his cousin's girlfriend is out for blood and child support, and the house is about to be seized because of unpaid taxes. It's up to Craig and his cousin Day-Day (Mike Epps) to solve these problems before the day is over. It's a rambling, loose movie, but a genuinely entertaining one. Ice Cube doesn't write punch lines--though funny lines abound. He writes richly comic characters that speak in virtual arias of bragging, complaining, and scamming. Sure, some of the characters are stereotypes and many of the jokes are about drugs and scatology--but that's been the basis of humor since Plautus and Molière. The rhythmic energy of Ice Cube's dialogue and the easy charisma of his performance make Next Friday thoroughly enjoyable. --Bret Fetzer |

Sucks SO bad that I don't know what to do with myself! |
I am angry that this wasn't even HALF as good as the prequel. The great characters: Craig, His sister, mother, and most of all, Smoky were all gone. His father was in it, and hilarious but the size of His part was garbage. That's right, it was shorter than a trip to the corner store around the block.
I don't recommend this movie much. If you liked the hilarious Friday debut, or even felt The Friday After next half as much, then get this to continue the madness or complete the collection. But I promise You, they didn't quite bring the funny in this one. Just look at the average rating!
Overall, if you enjoy:
--> Stereotypically ignorant Latinos walking around, being sex-crazed
--> A few smokin' Latinas, who give it up, accept one, who's the prettiest of them all, and saving herself for Craig
--> Real & pure laughter every other 10-20 minutes
--> Lackluster celebrities (save for Craig and his main crew)
--> An overall disappointment to a certain, BELOVED series
...then by all means, My friend.

The best. |

Alright, some people just don't get it. Some people are afraid to let loose and laugh. But some people know how, and for those who do, this one is "off the hook"! Of the three 'Friday' films, this is far and away the best, and perhaps one of the funniest comedies of recent vintage. |

Classic movie with classic predictable humor |
|
This movie has a lot of laughs - perhaps not as many as the first part but still this movie is quite funny. I especially like Ice Cube and his cousins interactions with the latinos next door. Craigs father, uncle and the african guy in the store are really great characters. |

Hilarious!! |

I bought this movie as a birthday gift for my fiance. It's one of his favorites and he laughs just as hard everytime he watches it as if it were his first. A very funny movie!!! |

It's a different Friday, Ya'll... |
|
I love this movie! The first Friday was more about a message and life growing up in the ghetto. The last two Friday movies are straight up comedy and will make you laugh til you on tha flo! Day-Day is Craig's loveable idiot cousin and has some of the best lines in the move - and EVERYBODY beats on this guy. If you were looking for more reality like the first Friday, you may be disappointed - this is more like the lighter side of Barbershop (If you have seen Barbershop go shoot yourself in the foot, fool!). All jokes aside.. see this movie and Friday After Next if you just want to laugh. They can get a little ridiculous, but that's what's it's about! Where's the next after next, Cube?? I can't wait. |
