Critic Reviews

  • Ernest Hardy, Film.com

    Next Friday is a truly awful film.

  • Steve Murray, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

    The flick could use Chris Tucker, co-star of the first Friday, AWOL in the sequel. He probably took a look at the script and realized this sequel was no reason to shout, 'T.G.I.F.'

    Hilarious. I think it was just as good as the first one.
