  A decent sequel.

• Derek D

  
  Probably the weakest out of the trilogy, but still not that bad. The Mexican guy is super-annoying and very stereotypical, but a break from the big-as-fuck villains like Deebo and Damon. Epps is a nice change of pace from Tucker.

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

  [font=Arial][color=darkred]In 1995 people were cheering for a small movie then making waves on video about shiftless lay-abouts and an interesting weekend they have. No, it wasn't Weekend at Bernie's 2, it was Ice Cube's collaboration with director F. Gary Grey on the urban comedy Friday. Now five years later, Next Friday takes off where last Friday was, and thus is now this Friday. Confused? You won't be as soon as the opening credits hit.[/color][/font] [font=Arial][color=darkred]Ice Cube brings everything to the table with his sequel to the surprise 1995 hit original -- as chief actor, producer, writer, and even casting assistant. Word. Cube -- that's Mr. Cube to you -- lays on the charm and brings together an amusing supporting cast with him to suburbia. Together they wreak havoc and smoke marijuana. The plot has as much substance as a New York City dime bag, but that's all Cube needs to assemble for himself a vulgar, stupid, but funny picture.[/color][/font] [font=Arial][color=darkred]Believe it or not, there are sporadic moments of inspired comedy, but they get lost in a cloud of pot smoke and crassness. The thinly plotted story is stretched to its limit at 93 minutes, leaving room for lots of vulgar un-PC humor -- but, hell, I did laugh. The shame is that Next Friday relies on tired, if not offensive, stereotypes as sources for comedy.[/color][/font] [font=Arial][color=darkred]Next Friday lacks the dumb charm of its predecessor, and Chris Tucker's motor mouth is missed most, but at its best Next Friday is disposable fun. Something tells me I would've enjoyed the movie more if I were stoned while watching. But then again, the same probably holds true for all movies.[/color][/font] [font=Arial][color=darkred]Nate's Grade: C [/color][/font]

  The main character is again ICE CUBE and his cousin DAE DAE played by Mike Epps. Dae Dae is the homeboy who replaced Chris Tucker (and does a great job at it also). Deebo (Tiny Lister) is still looking for his revenge on Craig. So Craig's father hides him in the posh Beverly Hills district where he has relatives who won the lottery. However his family has wasted all the money they've won and they still need to pay for their new house. If they don't get the money, they'll be evicted. Craig and Day-Day try to find a way to get the money to keep the house. Every place has its friendly people and every place has its bullies who in Rancho Cucamonga take shape of three Latino thugs called the Joker brothers. Craig and Day Day get into some hilarious scrapes as they try and get the money together to stop Elroy's house being repossessed for unpaid tax bills. The Joker's women provided some good eye candy and Lisa Rodriguez (The Jokers? sister and Craig?s love interest) was hot as well. Cube is a good writer, and he came up with such original lines like, "You ever heard of El Nino?" "Yes." "Well, this is El Negro." NEXT FRIDAY provides laughs if you just watch the movie and try not to look for flaws.
