Next Friday (2000)

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Strong and Moving!

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

"Next Friday" has the same slacker attitude as the first movie "Friday" with a little more plot line. The big disappointment is the lack of Chris Tucker as he was a big drawcard for the first movie. Once again this movie is completely watchable although it does edge into sequel territory where the storyline feels more worked and less organic in it's development. Also the characters weren't as good and felt typical to this style of movie.Not a bad effort as a sequel but it misses the mark. It's lucky it is connected to a cult hit or it would not have been as successful (and I use that term lightly).

Gotta be honest when I first saw this movie, I expected it to be total crap with Chris Tucker no longer a part of the cast. Saying that, I also believe that's the reason why I enjoyed it so much. Granted this is definitely the worst of the three Friday films with some good reason. Some of the jokes seemed kind of forced and in some cases the film seemed to be overacted (You'll see what I mean when you meet the neighbors). Despite that, Ice Cube wrote a solid screenplay that shows that even in the suburbs, things can get crazy. Mike Epps' crazy ex was excellent along with the treatment that she gives to him over the course of the day. That ugly dog was hilarious particularly in the second half of the movie. Not to mention the weed jokes (sorry to those who don't like 'em, I'm a sucker for 'em, personal experience I guess haha but I digress). Plus when you see a fine lady in the film you can't help but to give it a couple extra points. Advice before seeing this, watch the first one and admit that It'll never be topped and you'll enjoy this movie.

this second film in the Friday trilogy is a pretty good film.i enjoyed it quite a bit.it's pretty funny at times,though maybe not quite as funny as the first one was.i think they stretched a couple of the jokes too thin.there is one running joke that they milked a bit too much.still the story is interesting.the cast of characters is not quite as large,with only a handful of characters from the first film returning.Ice Cube is back as Craig,and John Witherspoon returns as his Dad,Mr.Jones.there are some new characters,but these are not nearly as quirky or interesting as the characters in the first movie.to me,they seemed a bit stereotypical.overall,though,the movie is funny and entertaining.for me,Next Friday is a 7/10

i think it is the best Friday of all, and my favorites movie. the humor is fresh and the situations are unique. some over acting but better than most of the black comedies i've seen. i've been known to have a pretty good sense of humor. i am a south African coloured and perhaps this is why i can related to Graig and Dada's situations. i think Lisa Rodriguez is the most beautiful actress i've ever seen on TV and i am very selective of my women.however this is not why this is my 2nd favorites movie. the best is "the original kings of comedy" NB: send me more PCs of Lisa Rodriguez please. also the other projects that she is or was involved in. does she have a fan club or website?
