Summary: Friday After Next
Review: Straight up, I thought this movie whooped on Barbershop. Mixing Craig, DayDay, Money Mike, Damon, Pinky (fo sho!), and the rest of the crew can't be touched. Mob on this movie the day it comes out, yo. Peace out biznittles.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Don't listen to critics...
Review: I know I know, it may sound contradicting since I'm going to give you my own take on the movie but hey what can I say. This movie was actually good. Worth the money to see. But here's where it lays in the friday series'. The best Friday was naturally the originally, not suprising at all since sequels don't usually do as well as the orginals. Then Next Friday and then this one. The quality of the movies went in order of make. Don't listen to these ignorant people claiming Next Friday wasn't good. I say POO-EY to that. Friday After Next was good, not as good as Next Friday which was not as good as the original Friday. Clear now? And thats how it is.

Summary: Great!
Review: Ok-I have never seen the original "Friday". Though I plan to...soon. I saw "Next Friday" and enjoyed it, so I saw this. It had more laughs then "Next Friday", but not as interesting of plot...if there is any at all. But who sees a Friday movie for plot? I don't...

I'm not a rap fan, so I don't like Ice Cube, but I enjoy his movies. So far I've seen this, "Barbershop and "Next Friday". He's a great actor, and obviously very talented: he wrote and produced this movie. And whoever came up with Money Mike is brilliant. You know Money Mike! The PIMP! One of the few new characters in this movie, he almost steals the show. He's definely the most funny.

The movie takes place on Christmas Eve in "the hood". While Craig (Ice Cube) and Day-Day (Mike Epps) are napping, a thief dressed as Santa Claus breaks in and steals all their Christmas gifts. Craig wakes and tries to stop him; Day-Day keeps dreaming of fat ... . The next day, they call the police, and while the cops are trying to slove the crime, Craig and Day-Day go off to their new jobs as mall security guards, which Day-Day of course takes very seriously. Knowing they have to pay off their apartment money collector, they work extra hard to get the money they would've had if Santa didn't take it along with the gifts. And if they don't, they have to see Damon, who later on in the movie gets the hots for Money Mike...

This is a good movie, and I'd see it if you enjoy stupid comedies, even if you aren't an Ice Cube fan (as I said before, I'm not).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Merry Christmas, ...
Review: Friday After Next is a big improvement over the previous one, Next Friday, but nothing special compared to the original.
I thought that the guy who played the burglar dressed up as Santa Claus was funny, "Where's the milk and cookies."

Unfortunately, there's no Smokey or Deebo in this movie (I didn't think that Deebo was as good on Next Friday as he was in the original).

This movie needs more attention than what it gets so do yourselves a favor, if you got $7.50 to spare, go watch this movie and don't listen to the negative reviews cause it is a good movie, if you cannot afford to see a movie at the theater, at least go rent it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better than the rest!
Review: This is the funniest of the Friday installments, the characters are fresh, the story is original, and the laughs don't stop! The little pimp named Money Mike is hilarious! If you want to laugh, this is the movie to see!

Summary: Friday After Next
Review: 1995's `Friday' was a laid back, pot-smoking comedy that felt like a long summer day with nothing to do. 2000's `Next Friday,' upped the pace and changed the focus, but still remained a leisurely affair. The new `Friday After Next,' is something else entirely - if they ever need a cure for narcolepsy, this is the film to study. An aggressively paced, rowdy sequel that never, ever stops, `Friday After Next' takes the series in an entirely new direction: out of control.

Back in the hood after spending some time with his Uncle Elroy (Don `DC' Curry) in the suburbs, Craig (Ice Cube), and his cousin Day Day (Mike Epps), are suffering through a lousy Christmas holiday when their presents and rent money are stolen by a robber dressed as Santa. Forced back into the working world, the two get jobs as security men at a local strip mall. `Friday After Next' details Craig and Day Day's first Friday on the job, as they dodge an evil landlord (Bebe Drake), disrupt holiday carols from some old ladies, meet gorgeous women (including K.D. Aubert), thwart some crackhead shoplifters, get yelled at by their middle-eastern boss (Maz Jobrani), and plan a party that will bring holiday cheer to all.

I must give credit to writer/producer/star Ice Cube for taking the sporadically funny, message-minded comedy in `Friday,' and turning it into the viable comedic franchise that it is today. `Next Friday' was a such a marked improvement over the original, that hopes were high for Cube to top himself with this new installment. But while Cube did up the ante here, he upped it in all the wrong places. Like a bat out of hell, `Friday After Next' is such a cyclone of jokes, characters, situations, and general visual nonsense, that one needs a seat belt and current physical just to keep up. It's rather insane how fast this movie flows, not just in pace, but also in material to handle. Cube has thrown everything he could into this production, and without much of an attempt to sort it all out, this new `Friday' isn't quite as successful as the last one.

That's not to say there isn't fun to be had. I enjoy how Cube writes all the action for one location, and then allows the insanity to build throughout the day. His ear for urban silliness is just as eagerly welcomed. But `Friday After Next' simply gets away from him, spinning deliriously through prison sex jokes, female facial hair gags, holiday trimmings, L.A.P.D. razzings (one officer's badge name simply reads `A. Hole'), returning characters from `Next Friday,' Cube and Epps's own shockingly limp interplay, and landing at the climactic party where the comedy explodes like a bomb sending little bits of funny shrapnel everywhere. I laughed a lot at `Friday After Next,' but I spent as much time wondering where the brakes were on this thing.

The golden goose of `Next Friday' was the introduction of comedian Mike Epps. In replacing the monotonous Chris Tucker as Cube's sidekick, Epps infused the `Friday' series with a new playfulness, and a willingness to get a little silly for the laughs. Epps was comic perfection in `Next Friday' (as he was in his other Cube collaboration, `All About The Benjamins'), but `Friday After Next' plays at such an obscenely high pitch, that it drowns out what Epps has to offer. He resorts to yelling just to be heard. Thankfully, to help Epps out, there is hilarious supporting work from Katt Micah Williams at Money Mike, a Prince-lookalike, high maintenance pimp, Terry Crews as sexually liberated parolee Damon (who has his eye, and other body parts, on Money Mike), and the always reliable John Witherspoon as Craig's intestinally-challenged father. As much as I wanted to enjoy Epps this time around, he just isn't a match for the sheer velocity of this chapter.

I doubt any hardcore fans of `Friday' will recognize their beloved film in this second sequel. And while there are enough laughs to go around, I think someone needs to drop a sedative in Ice Cube's coffee before we're subjected to a potentially strobe-like `Friday After Friday After Next.
