Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
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

5 out of 5 stars It's a different Friday, Ya'll..........2007-01-03

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.

4 out of 5 stars Fun ;-).......2006-09-17

I enjoyed each of the Friday series. I reviewed the original way back, and now after re-watching Next Friday, I thought I'd finally get around to reviewing this.
I still think I enjoyed Friday the best, but this is a good follow up. Ice Cube returns as Craig Jones who has a knack for getting into trouble. He goes to stay with family out in Rancho Cucamonga. They've just won the lottery and have this whole new place. While Chris Tucker isn't in here this time, we still get the hilarious John Witherspoon. He's fantastic. I only give this four stars because it goes a little flat during the second half, but it's still good overall. The cousin Day-Day is probably the funniest, but if you are a fan of the original, then you have got to see this. I loved it.

4 out of 5 stars Not as good as the first.......2006-01-20

...but a decent sequel. (But hey? It's not often that the sequel is better than the prequel.) I was mad because alot of questions were not answered and the plot was not all that good. I wanted Craig (Ice Cube) to hook up with that girl next door. All she does is have a short convo with her and at the end she blows a kiss and thats the end. I believe thats pointless for Craig's Pops (Jon Witherspoon)drops him off in Rancho Cucamonga (I don't think I spelled it right) then turns around and picks him up. Its a funny movie, but not as good as the first though.

5 out of 5 stars Better than FRIDAY.......2005-10-09

I thought Next Friday was way better than the original....... The first movie was really slow in the beginning.......so slow that I fell asleep. As soon as you pop this movie in, you'll be laughing from beginning to end........ Mike Epps is hilarious as Day-Day, Craigs cousin, and Craigs father has some pretty funny lines in this one........ Rent it, you won't be sorry.......

1 out of 5 stars A Huge Disappointment.......2005-09-26

Like most people, I loved the original Friday - a true classic. I had heard that this one wasn't as good, so I rented a copy just to check it out for myself.

This movie is straight-up garbage. Mike Epps can't carry Chris Tucker's jock. What a waste of what could have been a very good movie series.

Stick with the original; don't waste your time or money on this one.

Friday
Friday is that rarest specimen of African American cinema: a 'hood movie refreshingly free of the semiseriousness and moralism of shoot 'em up soaps such as Boyz N the Hood, yet still true to the inner-city experience. Scripted by rapper Ice Cube, Friday is a no-frills tale of a day in the life of a pair of young blacks in South Central. Cube plays Craig, a frustrated teen who endures the ultimate humiliation: getting fired on his day off. Then unknown Chris Tucker plays Smokey, a marijuana-worshipping homeboy whose love for the green stuff lands him in predicament after predicament. Sitting on the stoop of Craig's rundown home, the two hilariously confront a kaleidoscopic array of gangbangers, weed dealers, crack heads, prostitutes, scheming girlfriends, and neighborhood bullies--all of whom, it should be noted, come off as sympathetic even as they are being caricatured, a true achievement in the crass, "booty call" environment of '90s African American comedy. --Ethan Brown

Next Friday
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 for revenge. To protect Craig, Craig's father (John Witherspoon) sends his son to stay with his Uncle Elroy (Don "D.C." 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

Friday After Next
Ice Cube (Barbershop) uses his relaxed, raffish charm to glide through the third movie in his Friday series. As Craig (Cube) and Day-Day (Mike Epps) sleep in the wee hours of Christmas Eve, a burglar dressed like Santa Claus breaks in and steals their presents and rent. Thus begins a classically bad day full of unsympathetic family members, obnoxious neighbors, squealing pimps, pot smoking, and sexy babes. No one's going to win any awards for this sloppy installment, loaded with preening stereotypes and half-hearted low humor; Cube generally plays straight man and lets the rest of the cast screech, yowl, and contort their faces, their performances as ornate and ritualized as a Japanese Noh play. But if you're a fan, Friday After Next will give you a modest dose of Cube's goofy humor. John Witherspoon and Don "D.C." Curry return as Craig's eternally disgruntled father and uncle. --Bret Fetzer

Love Ice Cube! Love "Next Friday" =) I wanted all 3 shows and this pack was a good way to get them. Amazon.com has always been my best bet for internet shopping.

5 out of 5 stars Funny Movie X 3.......2007-02-09

How can you not laugh with Chris Tucker, Mike Epps, John Witherspoon, Don "DC" Curry & Katt Williams in the writing hands of Ice Cube! So many comic geniuses packed into 3 movies, each movie with its own unique flavor while not undercutting each other. These movies hit alot of levels, so at any age you are guaranteed a laugh!

4 out of 5 stars "Whats up Big Perm?... I mean Big Worm"........2007-01-23

These films are an excellent potrayal of life in an African American urban nieghborhood without having any cliches like having a serious message about drugs or gangsters like in the other 90's gangster films, the first film was a great 90's comedy starring Ice Cube and Chris Tucker as Smokey both of these guys are pot heads and it seems like Craig (Ice Cube) has been fired from his job on his day off which causes alot of problems since he needs to find a way to get 200$ to pay off a drug dealer or else, then some hilarious stuff happens including a fight with the nieghborhood bully, the music in this film was O.K. even though I'm not a rap fan I still thought that Ice Cube's music was pretty good. Next Friday unfortunately wasn't that good and was very weak compared to the others cause it seems like Chris Tucker was missing he was the most hilarious character from the first film, this time hes replaced by Mike Epps and the storyline involves Craig moving into the suburbs where his cousin lives. Friday after next was an improvement as it had a better and funnier script and it involves Craig and his cousin forgot his name moving into a rundown apparrtment only to find out that their christmas presents and money has been stolen and they need to get jobs as security guards in a shopping mall to find out the culprit, if your looking for a good laugh then you should definetely add these films to your comedy collection. By the way my nickname Smockey has nothing to do with these films its from something else.

5 out of 5 stars Friday.......2007-01-19

The product was new and in great shape. I ordered as a Christmas gift and wasn't sure it would arrive in time but it came 2 days before Christmas. Very pleased with the product and the timely delivery.

5 out of 5 stars Christmas Joy.......2006-11-01

This movie is too funny, the scene at the abc store and the "sisters". That's all I'm going to say this is a must have in your personal collection it's well worth the money.

5 out of 5 stars SO GOOD, IT'LL MAKE YA' WANTA SLAP YO' MOMMA!.......2005-11-13

"Tastes so good, it'll make you want to slap your momma"!! This is just one the hilarious quotes from "Friday After Next". This is one seriously funny movie. If you don't just bust-up with laughter, then you are probably already dead. Ice Cube and his buddy Mike Epps deliver one Hell of a good Christmas themed comedy. This time around, Ice Cube plays his role to the max, and manages to showcase the "Craig" character in ways not shown in the two previous "Friday" films. Craigs entire family are here, engaged in antics wild and crazy enough to make anyone roll with laughter. The whole "Bro's Bar-B-Q" scene alone, makes this a film not to miss. I watched this film again, while visiting friends in the Philippines. And the Filipinos laughed eved harder than my American friends did! It seems that Ice cube's movies are a big hit all over the world. So I say get yourself a copy of "Friday After Next", and invite some friends over to watch it. This is one movie worth adding to your comedy film collection. Ice Cube always delivers, and this time, he really takes care of business.

5 out of 5 stars The second best alternative Christmas classic since A Christmas Story.......2005-09-08

Having no idea this was a Christmas movie when we rented it, I have a new tradition to pop this and Bad Santa in every Christmas Eve. For a white girl from the suburbs, you can't get much more alternative than this!

Craig and DayDay are living in an apartment a California ghetto. THey endure the typical trials and tribulations of single living - paying the rent on time, working, etc. - but put the urban spin on everything. THeir house is broken into by Santa, their landlady (with a moustache problem that really bothers me) is harrassing them, and her enourmous son has just been released from prison and wants a piece of them. At their jobs at the strip mall we meet an entire separate cast with their family barbeque restaurant ("Bring your big ass down here! Tastes so good, make you wanna slap yo mamma!"), the Holy Moly Donut Shop, and the Pimps n' Hos store. Hilarity unfolds in drug humor, physical comedy, and innuendo.

The pimp at the Pimps n' Hos shop stole the show once he was introduced. The cute little man with the Napoleonic Complex who wants to be a tough guy. It's a scream! With the pink limos, skanks, and urban mentality, this is one rip roaring good time. All I want for Christmas is two fat bitches who smell like cheeseburgers, a bag of weed, and this DVD!

4 out of 5 stars Better than Next Friday, but not the first........2005-09-01

For the second straight time, Mike Epps replaces Tucker, but he plays Craig's (Ice Cube) cousin. Don't get me wrong, he's funny. But come on. Thats Chris Tucker. But anyway, this time the two are owing rent money by the nightfall or the landlords diesel son Damon is going to set them straight. One thing about him. He should try setting himself straight first. The two are security guards in a mini mall and Day-Day (Epps) is taking his job a little too seriously. Until finally they catch two people stealing at the store next door to they're fathers barbeque, they invite the pimp owner to come to they're Christmas Party that night. Unfortunately for him, he runs into Damon in the bathroom and the rest is just crazy. Many funny parts, but still think it could've been funnier with Tucker.

4 out of 5 stars YYYYEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHH BOY!.......2005-07-10

This is what I was waitin for. It wasn't better than the first one but it put the second to shame. The story was funny to me. A black santa robbin the neighboorhood, that s*** is crazy.The pimp had me laughin half to death son. And pinky is as crazy as ever. This could'nt match the greatness of one. But its still a good movie. The soundtrack was trash though and there where a couple of songs in the movie that wasn't on the soundtrack, that's some bs.

No one's going to win any awards for this sloppy installment, loaded with preening stereotypes and half-hearted low humor; Cube generally plays straight man and lets the rest of the cast screech, yowl, and contort their faces, their performances as ornate and ritualized as a Japanese Noh play. But if you're a fan, Friday After Next will give you a modest dose of Cube's goofy humor. John Witherspoon and Don "D.C." Curry return as Craig's eternally disgruntled father and uncle. --Bret Fetzer

    5 out of 5 stars Christmas Joy.......2006-11-01

    This movie is too funny, the scene at the abc store and the "sisters". That's all I'm going to say this is a must have in your personal collection it's well worth the money.

    5 out of 5 stars SO GOOD, IT'LL MAKE YA' WANTA SLAP YO' MOMMA!.......2005-11-13

    "Tastes so good, it'll make you want to slap your momma"!! This is just one the hilarious quotes from "Friday After Next". This is one seriously funny movie. If you don't just bust-up with laughter, then you are probably already dead. Ice Cube and his buddy Mike Epps deliver one Hell of a good Christmas themed comedy. This time around, Ice Cube plays his role to the max, and manages to showcase the "Craig" character in ways not shown in the two previous "Friday" films. Craigs entire family are here, engaged in antics wild and crazy enough to make anyone roll with laughter. The whole "Bro's Bar-B-Q" scene alone, makes this a film not to miss. I watched this film again, while visiting friends in the Philippines. And the Filipinos laughed eved harder than my American friends did! It seems that Ice cube's movies are a big hit all over the world. So I say get yourself a copy of "Friday After Next", and invite some friends over to watch it. This is one movie worth adding to your comedy film collection. Ice Cube always delivers, and this time, he really takes care of business.

    5 out of 5 stars The second best alternative Christmas classic since A Christmas Story.......2005-09-08

    Having no idea this was a Christmas movie when we rented it, I have a new tradition to pop this and Bad Santa in every Christmas Eve. For a white girl from the suburbs, you can't get much more alternative than this!

    Craig and DayDay are living in an apartment a California ghetto. THey endure the typical trials and tribulations of single living - paying the rent on time, working, etc. - but put the urban spin on everything. THeir house is broken into by Santa, their landlady (with a moustache problem that really bothers me) is harrassing them, and her enourmous son has just been released from prison and wants a piece of them. At their jobs at the strip mall we meet an entire separate cast with their family barbeque restaurant ("Bring your big ass down here! Tastes so good, make you wanna slap yo mamma!"), the Holy Moly Donut Shop, and the Pimps n' Hos store. Hilarity unfolds in drug humor, physical comedy, and innuendo.

    The pimp at the Pimps n' Hos shop stole the show once he was introduced. The cute little man with the Napoleonic Complex who wants to be a tough guy. It's a scream! With the pink limos, skanks, and urban mentality, this is one rip roaring good time. All I want for Christmas is two fat bitches who smell like cheeseburgers, a bag of weed, and this DVD!

    4 out of 5 stars Better than Next Friday, but not the first........2005-09-01

    For the second straight time, Mike Epps replaces Tucker, but he plays Craig's (Ice Cube) cousin. Don't get me wrong, he's funny. But come on. Thats Chris Tucker. But anyway, this time the two are owing rent money by the nightfall or the landlords diesel son Damon is going to set them straight. One thing about him. He should try setting himself straight first. The two are security guards in a mini mall and Day-Day (Epps) is taking his job a little too seriously. Until finally they catch two people stealing at the store next door to they're fathers barbeque, they invite the pimp owner to come to they're Christmas Party that night. Unfortunately for him, he runs into Damon in the bathroom and the rest is just crazy. Many funny parts, but still think it could've been funnier with Tucker.

    4 out of 5 stars YYYYEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHH BOY!.......2005-07-10

    This is what I was waitin for. It wasn't better than the first one but it put the second to shame. The story was funny to me. A black santa robbin the neighboorhood, that s*** is crazy.The pimp had me laughin half to death son. And pinky is as crazy as ever. This could'nt match the greatness of one. But its still a good movie. The soundtrack was trash though and there where a couple of songs in the movie that wasn't on the soundtrack, that's some bs.

    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

    5 out of 5 stars It's a different Friday, Ya'll..........2007-01-03

    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.

    4 out of 5 stars Fun ;-).......2006-09-17

    I enjoyed each of the Friday series. I reviewed the original way back, and now after re-watching Next Friday, I thought I'd finally get around to reviewing this.
    I still think I enjoyed Friday the best, but this is a good follow up. Ice Cube returns as Craig Jones who has a knack for getting into trouble. He goes to stay with family out in Rancho Cucamonga. They've just won the lottery and have this whole new place. While Chris Tucker isn't in here this time, we still get the hilarious John Witherspoon. He's fantastic. I only give this four stars because it goes a little flat during the second half, but it's still good overall. The cousin Day-Day is probably the funniest, but if you are a fan of the original, then you have got to see this. I loved it.

    4 out of 5 stars Not as good as the first.......2006-01-20

    ...but a decent sequel. (But hey? It's not often that the sequel is better than the prequel.) I was mad because alot of questions were not answered and the plot was not all that good. I wanted Craig (Ice Cube) to hook up with that girl next door. All she does is have a short convo with her and at the end she blows a kiss and thats the end. I believe thats pointless for Craig's Pops (Jon Witherspoon)drops him off in Rancho Cucamonga (I don't think I spelled it right) then turns around and picks him up. Its a funny movie, but not as good as the first though.

    5 out of 5 stars Better than FRIDAY.......2005-10-09

    I thought Next Friday was way better than the original....... The first movie was really slow in the beginning.......so slow that I fell asleep. As soon as you pop this movie in, you'll be laughing from beginning to end........ Mike Epps is hilarious as Day-Day, Craigs cousin, and Craigs father has some pretty funny lines in this one........ Rent it, you won't be sorry.......

    1 out of 5 stars A Huge Disappointment.......2005-09-26

    Like most people, I loved the original Friday - a true classic. I had heard that this one wasn't as good, so I rented a copy just to check it out for myself.

    This movie is straight-up garbage. Mike Epps can't carry Chris Tucker's jock. What a waste of what could have been a very good movie series.

    Stick with the original; don't waste your time or money on this one.

      Friday is the rarest specimen of African American cinema: a 'hood movie refreshingly free of the semiseriousness and moralism of shoot 'em up soaps such as Boyz N the Hood, yet still true to the inner-city experience. Scripted by rapper Ice Cube, Friday is a no-frills tale of a typical day in the life of a pair of African American youth in South Central. Cube plays Craig, a frustrated teen who endures the ultimate humiliation: getting fired on his day off. Then unknown Chris Tucker plays Smokey, a marijuana-worshipping homeboy whose love for the green stuff lands him in predicament after predicament. Sitting on the stoop of Craig's rundown home, the two hilariously confront a kaleidoscopic array of gangbangers, weed dealers, crack heads, prostitutes, scheming girlfriends, and neighborhood bullies--all of whom, it should be noted, come off as sympathetic even as they are being caricatured, a true achievement in the crass, "booty call" environment of '90s African American comedy. --Ethan Brown

      Ice Cube (Barbershop) uses his relaxed, raffish charm to glide through the third movie in his Friday series. As Craig (Cube) and Day-Day (Mike Epps) sleep in the wee hours of Christmas Eve, a burglar dressed like Santa Claus breaks in and steals their presents and rent. Thus begins a classically bad day full of unsympathetic family members, obnoxious neighbors, squealing pimps, pot smoking, and sexy babes. No one's going to win any awards for this sloppy installment, loaded with preening stereotypes and half-hearted low humor; Cube generally plays straight man and lets the rest of the cast screech, yowl, and contort their faces, their performances as ornate and ritualized as a Japanese Noh play. But if you're a fan, Friday After Next will give you a modest dose of Cube's goofy humor. John Witherspoon and Don "D.C." Curry return as Craig's eternally disgruntled father and uncle. --Bret Fetzer
