This time out, Craig is still trying to outsmart neighborhood bully Debo (Tommy "Tiny" Lister Jr.); after Craig gets the better of Debo in a fist fight, Debo is determined to flatten Craig in a rematch. Looking to stay out of Debo's way, Craig decides that it would be a good time to visit his cousin (Mike Epps) and uncle (Don "DC" Curry), who have recently won the lottery and moved into a spacious new home in the suburbs. Like Friday, Next Friday was written by Ice Cube and his frequent musical collaborator DJ Pooh; music video director Steve Carr made his feature debut with this film. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

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.'
-
Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee
It's vulgar and raggy, but also very funny.
-
Jay Carr, Boston Globe
One measure of its desperation and lack of respect for its audience is the frequency with which it labors to wring humor from flatulence and excrement gags.
-
Tom Keogh, Film.com
Next Friday will eventually be remembered as a disposable farce, but one that leaves a happy memory.
