Wow! Such a good movie.

A Disappointing Continuation

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

I saw Next Friday a day after I've seen it's prequel: Friday. It seems like only yesterday...Well, frankly speaking, it was yesterday when I've seen the next Friday movie.I didn't think a lot of it, I always thought Friday was one of the so-so movies ever, except it's grand sequel "Friday after next". When I watched Next Friday yesterday, I thought it was pretty good... for a So-So movie hehe... Of course not as good as Friday and Friday After Next but I got a good laugh out of it, and now I think of it a so-so highly. Of course Smokey should have been there too but, anyways, at least there's Day Day but it shows a character from a different perception and Day Day is a funny guy but Smokey is one of the best characters in any movie. They need to bring Smokey back. All in all grade: Next Friday is good too and is definitely worth seeing...Just don't forget yo weeds!

Vengeful bully Deebo escapes from prison and makes his way back to South Central to try and settle the score with Craig (Cube). Not wanting to face his wrath, Craig moves out of the ghetto and travels to the suburbs to stay with his uncle and cousin in Rancho Cucamonga. Unbeknownst to him, the burbs aren't as idyllic as they seem and he gets caught up in a series of lame misadventures with the eccentric neighborhood inhabitants. Follow-up to Friday has more of a plot than its predecessor, along with a likable cast, but it has an abundance of crude humor which seems more desperate than funny, and the whole thing gets old pretty quickly. *½

This weekend I thought I'd run through the first two of the Friday trilogy, and after I saw the first one, I was somewhat disappointed. Chris Tucker and Ice Cube were great, along with John Witherspoon, but this movie could have been so much better. Next Friday, now, this was good. It was hysterical. I would have liked to see Chris Tucker in it, but Mike Epps coming into the role as Ice Cubes cousin in a nice suburb was awesome. John Witherspoon was again hilarious here and Debo was back in it breaking out of jail. The Mexican neighbors were hilarious, and so was Roach. This movie had more of a plot than the first one and it was a lot more funny. Now, I need to watch Friday After Next to finish the trilogy. Chris Tucker is one of my favorite actors and I can't wait until Rush Hour 3. I gave Friday-6, and Next Friday- 8. Also, if you guys haven't seen Coach Carter, you should definitely go out and see it.

The best thing about this sequel is definitely Mike Epps (Day-Day). He really breathed life into this thing, cause it seemed like it would be doomed from the start. I didn't really see the significance in brining back Deebo though. I mean Craig knocked him the f**k out, end of story. And it really seems unrealisitic that two guys running around in bright orange jumpsuits wouldn't get caught by the cops sometime throughout the movie. And of course Pops (John Witherspoon) was funny as hell too with his hot sauce and burritos and air spray. I also enjoyed Pinky, Day Day's boss. Its hard to imagine that a guy in a stereotypical greasy jherri curl riding back seat in a cadillac would actually be legitimately amusing. Anyway, true there's no sight of Chris Tucker anywhere in this movie, its still definitely worth watching over and over again. There's hilarious new characters and even more funny and memorable lines. ** 1/2
