Review of Friday (1995) by Anthony M — 10 Mar 2011
The only great film Ice Cube ever starred in.
Friday is a stoner flick, pure and simple. It's packed with inside jokes that only stoners would understand. What makes this movie great (besides Chris Tucker's legendary performance) is the fact that there is no basic plot. Smokey owes Big Worm money, Debo terrorizes the neighborhood, while Craig and Smokey sit on the porch and smoke weed all day. This film is based on characters. This makes it far more interesting than it's predecessors, which rely on subplot upon subplot upon subplot to move the story along. No wonder Quentin Tarantino listed 'Friday' as one of his 20 favorite movies since he made Reservoir Dogs in '92.
