ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Shopaholic35 "Next Friday" has the same slacker attitude as the first movie "Friday" with a little more plot line. The big disappointment is the lack of Chris Tucker as he was a big drawcard for the first movie. Once again this movie is completely watchable although it does edge into sequel territory where the storyline feels more worked and less organic in it's development. Also the characters weren't as good and felt typical to this style of movie.Not a bad effort as a sequel but it misses the mark. It's lucky it is connected to a cult hit or it would not have been as successful (and I use that term lightly).

disdressed12 this second film in the Friday trilogy is a pretty good film.i enjoyed it quite a bit.it's pretty funny at times,though maybe not quite as funny as the first one was.i think they stretched a couple of the jokes too thin.there is one running joke that they milked a bit too much.still the story is interesting.the cast of characters is not quite as large,with only a handful of characters from the first film returning.Ice Cube is back as Craig,and John Witherspoon returns as his Dad,Mr.Jones.there are some new characters,but these are not nearly as quirky or interesting as the characters in the first movie.to me,they seemed a bit stereotypical.overall,though,the movie is funny and entertaining.for me,Next Friday is a 7/10

Special-K88 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

Kristine My sister lent me the movie "Friday" a couple months ago, and I wasn't really too interested in seeing the sequels after being disappointed with the first "Friday" movie. But I figured to give Next Friday a chance because one of my friends told me that it was a lot more fun than the first and I agree. I know the rating on IMDb doesn't seem too promising, but believe me, I think that people were just being a little too harsh on the film because it wasn't like the first one.Craig has to stay with his lottery winning uncle and cousin 'till things cool down back home since the bully he took down in the first Friday broke out of prison. Well, Craig and his cousin, Day-Day, get into some crazy situations with Day-Day's ex and the neighbors across the street who are dealing with some heavy stuff. When Craig finds out about his uncle and cousin's house being sold in an auction, he and Day-Day try to find a way to get the money to keep the house.I really laughed a lot more in Next Friday than the first one, as much as I love Chris Tucker, I have to admit that he was somewhat annoying in the first movie, it was nice having a little tone down in this film. But seriously, people need to cut this movie a break because it is a really funny film when you just let go and relax. Well, I hope Friday after Next is just as funny, but we'll see.7/10
