To me, this movie is perfection.
Just perfect...
Don't Believe the Hype
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Debo escapes from county jail chained to Tyrone. Debo is looking for revenge against Craig Jones (Ice Cube). Craig's dad sends him to stay with his cousin Day-Day (Mike Epps) in Rancho Cucamonga. His unemployed uncle Elroy won the lottery allowing him to buy a house in the suburbs. Craig gets into some misadventures with his cousin's family and the Latino gangster neighbors as the family faces foreclosure.I'm not saying that Chris Tucker is a magical elixir for any franchise but part of the original charm is the lead characters' friendship. Essentially, this sequel switches out Tucker for Epps. If that's how easy it is to drop a lead character, how much should the audience care about any of the characters. It's a mess of crude broad humor that doesn't hit enough times. Ice Cube has good charisma as lead but there isn't much more than that.
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!
Rated R for Language,Drug Use and Sexual Content.Next Friday is the sequel to the movie Friday and the second movie in the trilogy.Friday and Friday After Next were very funny movies.This one was not as funny but did have some really funny moments and was overall a fun and entertaining film.In this one, Craig moves to the suburbs with his rich uncle Elroy and his cousin Day Day.The reason he moves out of his old neighborhood is because Deebo has broken out of jail and wants revenge on Craig for beating him up(this happened in the first movie).There are some more funny characters in this movie such as Pinky the owner of the record store that Day Day works at and the three Mexican brothers who like to start trouble.Next Friday may not be as good as the first or third Friday movie but it is still funny and worth watching.8/10
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.
