Friday After Next (DVD, 2003, Widescreen & Full Frame; Infinifilm)

It is Christmas Eve for most of the Christian world, but when Craig (Ice Cube) and Day-Day (Mike Epps) are rudely awaken by a burglar in a Santa suit, it is definitely another FRIDAY in the ghetto. The phony Santa gets away with all the cousins' Christmas gifts and their overdue rent money after assaulting Craig with a paltry Christmas tree. Cops are called in and do little more than confiscate Craig and Day-Day's pot stash. Though the cousins may be used to such adversity in the 'hood, they have never before had to think about getting real jobs in order to pay the bills. This third installment in the hip-hop stoner series follows L.A.'s lovable losers through their first day as rent-a-cops at a South Central strip mall.


As each problem they encounter becomes more and more ridiculous, screenwriter and star Ice Cube and first-time director Mark Raboy have constructed an irreverent African-American holiday farce. The film builds to a fever pitch at a holiday party where nearly every character in the film shows up for a wild finale. The supporting cast delivers outrageously amusing portraits of ghetto stereotypes while composer John Murphy paces the film by deftly blending hip-hop with traditional film scoring.

If you've seen and enjoyed the first two installments in the Friday series, you'll like this one too.

There are some new characters as well as some familiar ones. Terry Crews and Katt Williams are great while Mike Epps gives yet another performance where he seems to put in no effort as it all seems so natural to him!

Definitely not one of the best comedies out there, but it has it's moments. I'd recommend it if you like anything by the Wayans brothers or films like Babershop. Just make sure you've seen the others in the series first!

I enjoyed the first Friday so just had to buy the second one! I like the second one quite a lot. Ice Cube is at it again great movie done by him, I like the first one i think the best but this lead's on to the story. I just bought the third Friday other day really funny! I love em all. Will keep watching them.

I bought this movie to finish adding to last of my "FRIDAY" dvd collections. I have the previous two movies in connection with this one. I think ultimately FRIDAY (the first one) was the best one from all three but this one was also pretty hilarious! I loved Kat Williams and his humor in here. I would recommend it if you like this type of humor.

HY...FRIDAY AFTER NEXT IS ONE OF THE BEST COMEDY I SAW ...MIKE EPPS AND ICE CUBE ARE SUPER FUNNY...I HOPE THEY DO A NEXT FRIDAY...I REALY HOPE...SO, IF YOU WANT TO SEE A VERY FUNNY FILM...I RECOMAND " FRIDAY AFTER NEXT"
