Very best movie i ever watch

A different way of telling a story

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

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.

I was sitting there in front of my computer screen searching the depths of the internet looking for a movie to watch when I stumbled upon the "classic" series, Friday...I said what the hell and rented the lot of them. I thought they'd be a laugh. Wrong, well half wrong, I was blasted away by the sheer production of this sequel! Horrible.First off, I felt like Ice Cube and Mike Epps could have easily filmed this on a lazy Sunday afternoon and shipped this out while drunk to the movies. It was so hard to understand them talking because half the time they were talking at the same time...I was embarrassed for them! The jokes were so stale and stagnant I couldn't even muster a snort of laughter because it was that bad...the Mexican gangsters were supposed to be the three stooges? I could have gotten high and I still would have thought this movie sucked. The suburbs??? I thought the only character that was interesting was Uncle Elroy and that's because he wore Rick James's reject articles. I'm sorry fans of this movie but re-watch it without being high and you'll see how wrong you were. 3/10

"Next Friday" isn't half as funny as "Friday." The long awaited sequel to the 1995 cult classic hip-hop comedy lacks the hilarity of the ground-breaking original. Sadly, the best character is gone missing. Early in "Next Friday," Craig Jones informs us that Smokey has checked into rehab. Never again do we hear another word about the memorable Chris Tucker character. Nobody in "Next Friday" either replaces or matches the live-wire comic energy that Tucker infused into the pot-headed player he impersonated so vividly. The Pillsbury Homeboy of Rap—Ice Cube—John Witherspoon, and Tommy 'Tiny' Lister Jr., reprise their roles, but Nia Long and Regina King are missing, too. Ultimately, with Chris around to cut up, "Next Friday" seems just plain 'Tuckered out.' "Next Friday" carries on where its lowbrow predecessor faded out, so some surprising narrative continuity distinguishes this farce. If you missed "Friday," Craig (Ice Cube) beat the Goliath of the ghetto, Deebo (Tommy 'Tiny' Lister Jr.) to a pulp after the bully had run roughshod over the neighborhood. Now, Deebo is chillin' in jail, but he vows to get payback. Anxiously, Mr. Jones (John Witherspoon) takes his out-of-work slacker son to live with his lotto-winning brother Elroy (Don 'D.C.' Curry). Elroy resides in the suburbs, far away from South Central Los Angeles. No sooner has he relocated his son than Deebo escapes. Tagging along with Deebo on the wrong end of an ankle shackle is another reluctant inmate, Tyrone (Sticky Fingaz) who slows our towering villain down, especially when Deebo steals a bike.Deebo forces Tyrone to phone Craig's father and warn him that Craig is in trouble. Smuggling themselves in the back of Mr. Jones' animal control track (a clever metaphor for Deebo) Deebo and Tyrone ride out to the posh Rancho Cucuamonga where Uncle Elroy lives. Meanwhile, Craig finds life just as chaotic with his nouveau riche relatives. He dodges Elroy's oversexed wife Suga (Kym E. Whitley) and hangs out with his cousin Day-Day (Mike Epps of "All About The Benjamins"). Day-Day drives a new BMW and works in a record shop. Craig discovers a voluptuous Hispanic honey, Karla (Lisa Rodriguez), who lives at the house next door but tangles with her three Latino gangster brothers when he tries to steal their drug money to pay the unpaid property taxes on Uncle Elroy's crib."Next Friday" is just as rude, crude, and lewd as "Friday." Mr. Jones still has drafty bowel movement moments and has dog-do smeared across his back during most of the movie. Unfortunately, producer Ice Cube and freshman director Steve Carr screw up "Next Friday." They squander too many good characters. First, Deebo spends too much time out of sight in the dog pound truck. Lister almost but doesn't quite compensate for Tucker's absence. Second, Craig gets nowhere with Karla, and she drops out of sight inexplicably after the cops have arrested her brothers. Third, everything in "Next Friday" is a predictable retread of "Friday," but on a grander scale with less inspiration and no gun control messages.

This weekend I thought I'd run through the first two of the Friday trilogy, and after I saw the first one, I was somewhat disappointed. Chris Tucker and Ice Cube were great, along with John Witherspoon, but this movie could have been so much better. Next Friday, now, this was good. It was hysterical. I would have liked to see Chris Tucker in it, but Mike Epps coming into the role as Ice Cubes cousin in a nice suburb was awesome. John Witherspoon was again hilarious here and Debo was back in it breaking out of jail. The Mexican neighbors were hilarious, and so was Roach. This movie had more of a plot than the first one and it was a lot more funny. Now, I need to watch Friday After Next to finish the trilogy. Chris Tucker is one of my favorite actors and I can't wait until Rush Hour 3. I gave Friday-6, and Next Friday- 8. Also, if you guys haven't seen Coach Carter, you should definitely go out and see it.
