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.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I thought the first two "Friday" movies were alright and had the occasional funny moment but Friday After Next was definitely the worst out of the bunch. It just wasn't entertaining or funny enough. The Christmas themed movie felt like a cheap excuse for a sequel and felt really out of place.Did anybody else notice that basically the only characters who remain the same throughout the entire series are Craig (Ice Cube) and his dad. Everybody else changes depending on the movie. There's absolutely no consistency and so over the three movies there is no flow. You may as well have created an entirely individual movie each time instead of a continuing series.Overall not impressed or entertained.

"Friday After Next" tries to be both a successful addition to the Friday series and an effective "holiday in the hood" movie and by all means, fails at both. Ice Cube reprises his role as both writer and actor for this very disappointing third installment. Craig and his cousin, Day-Day have moved back to South Central where they work as rent-a-cops at a shopping plaza on Christmas Eve. With their rent money stolen by an evil Santa Claus the night before, they need to come up on some quick cash and fast. With Day-Day's buffoonish antics getting the duo in some serious trouble with their equally-goofy boss who runs a donut shop at the plaza, they may be out of a job before the day ends. To tell you the truth not even Chris Tucker (Smokey) could have saved this Friday. Don't get me wrong this movie is funny at times and has a few nice moments but there are too many bad moments as well as stupid/unfunny ones that keep it from being good. I hope the fourth Friday their working on will be just as good as the original, and I do Hope chris tucker comes back.

Roommates Craig (Ice Cube) and Day Day (Mike Epps) have to live through another Friday. This time around they have to cope with a nigga' ass thieving Santa, a couple of pimpy pimps, parking lot security guard bashing youth gangs and with Day Day's unabated stupidness.Honestly I must say that out of all the Friday series the third outing personally proved the most enjoyable. Getting rid of any false pretences we get a frontally assaulting ghetto comedy with some decent laughs and thankfully limited fart/bowel/barf action. Ice Cube and Mike Epps make a sympathetic duo, which somehow manage to gloss over the script idiosyncrasies and make the most of how idiotic the whole plot is, without ever turning it into a farce.Mildly entertaining, but fun enough to have a good time and not regret the experience.

This is must see cinema If you can quote all the crazy phrases and dialog from the Original Friday then this one is for you. The saga of cousins Craig and Day-Day continues but to really get to the true grit of the film rent or buy the DVD and watch the Infinifilm with all of the deleted scenes. My personal favorite is the deleted scene of how they lose there old job at a nursing home ...that old man that ran the student diner on A Different World is just too damn funny .... The plot is basic ghetto.. . The Christmas bandit that does break ins in a Santa suit is a good subplot. The movie is a true salute to black entrepreneurship. Craig and Day-Day parents open up a BBQ restaurant, a pimp goes legit and opens a clothing and pimp accessory store, Pinky the record store owner from NEXT Friday is still in business and Craig and Day-Day show a penchant for party promotion when they throw a rent party at their apartment. But I digress, the quotables are some of the funniest one liners in Blaxpo ever. I mean truly, I never thought about getting my dick sucked from behind until Day-Day mentioned it or ever questioned the motives of church ladies standing in front of a Liquor store singing hymns or carols until Day-Day asked them if they were trying to sell pussy in the lords name ...Damn thats Ghetto! Without Chris Tuckers character the Friday franchise moves on. Craig has moved on in life without the neighbor that damn near got him and his family killed. Who wouldn't? But seriously analyze it on its own merits and forget Cris Tucker. One more note that I nearly forgot don't ever see Mike Epps in concert that mofo is not funny doing stand-up. I paid 58 bucks to find out the hard way. There is a rule in comedy never follow a comedian that has better material than you ... well his ass had No material. The funny guy at work place is funnier and has better material.
