Movie Reviews of Next Friday (New Line Platinum Series)
Movie Review: Sucks SO bad that I don't know what to do with myself!
Summary: 2 Stars
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.

Summary of Next Friday (New Line Platinum Series)
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 Moli?re. The rhythmic energy of Ice Cube's dialogue and the easy charisma of his performance make Next Friday thoroughly enjoyable. --Bret FetzerIce Cube returns as Craig Jones, a streetwise man from South Central Los Angeles in this smash hit sequel to the comedy, Friday. Trouble ensues this time out as Craig relocates to the suburbs in order to hide from the neighborhood bully, Debo.
