Review of Friday After Next (2002) by Christine J — 04 Mar 2013
I'm a sucker for the "Friday" movies. Being Christmas time and all I indulged in "Friday After Next" recently. The original Friday was an urban-hood comedy masterpiece but the second movie (Next Friday) was a big let down comparatively speaking.
It was a different film and while still highly amusing, a lot of the original charm and modesty was lost... whereas this third film takes things back a few notches and tells a simple story. Craig and Day-Day are robbed on Christmas Eve by a Santa bandit.
Their rent money is gone and they have to make it up quick-sticks before being evicted. They become mall cops and spend this Friday stirring trouble, smoking dope and partay'ing till the sun rises.
Its stupid and fun. The gags are great and John Witherspoon steals the show for a third time running. Ice Cube has confirmed that a 4th film is in the pipeline (Last Friday) with Chris Tucker a near certainty.
.. just waiting on the studio to sign off on it. I hope they do. I love this stuff.
