It is not easy to sit through the whole movie and expect a plot or anything to say for that matter. However, there are some seriously funny things that you can't help but laugh at. Depending on what vain you see the movie in and what you're looking for, your response will vary. But if you just take it as that there are some things that will make you hysterically laugh then by all means, see this movie.

Decent enough to watch but a step down from the original. Some of the new characters just aren't as good, would of been better if they had kept in same neighborhood.

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

You have to give Ice Cube credit. He tried to make a good sequel, but somehow it didn't quite work. It was close though, and fairly funny.
At one point, in narration, Craig says, "I sure miss Smokey."
We do too.

Well, the first time i saw next friday, i admit i was kind of disappointed. I missed Smokey and Craig's father's humor. But after seeing it 4 times i must say that i love it. And it ain't Day Day or Craig who makes the movie so hilarious, it is the Joker brothers across the street. I laughed hard when one of the Joker brothers rips off his pants to reveal a skimpy thing which he calls Mini-Me:) Only one thing to say: "Ehh, Eh, I AM AN AZTEC WARRIOR! AYYAAA

If there is one thing that "Next Friday," the sequel to the popular F. Gary Gray-directed cult-classic urban stoner comedy "Friday" (1995), proves, it's that a lot can and still does go down between Thursday and Saturday.
While it has a slightly bigger budget than the first film, this 2000 sequel is also missing several key players from "Friday," including most notably its director and (especially) Chris Tucker's bug-eyed, nasal-pitched, fast-talking stoner Smokey, who declined to reprise his role here after becoming a born-again Christian in 1997, and wanted to do less obscene films like the blockbuster "Rush Hour" series (which paired him up with Chinese martial arts superstar Jackie Chan for three movies released between 1998 and 2007).
"Next Friday" was one of the first movies that I ever saw at Hoyts (later Regal Cinemas) - which had just opened the previous summer in my Virginia hometown, and sadly closed just this past winter - with my late mother, my late aunt, and my late cousin. My, how time flies and I realize that I am the only person left alive 25 years after first seeing it in the movie theater...
Directed by yet another music video director making the gigantic leap to feature films, Steve Carr (in his directorial debut), "Next Friday" sees former N. W. A. (legends) rapper-turned-actor Ice Cube, also the film's screenwriter and producer, returning as Craig Jones, who is whisked away by his father Mr. Jones (the late John Witherspoon) from the dangerous South Central "'hood" to the relative safety and comfort of the Rancho Cucamonga suburbs, after learning that neighborhood bully Deebo (the late Tommy "Tiny" Lister, Jr.) has just escaped from prison with his younger brother Tyrone (Onyx lead rapper Sticky Fingaz, credited here by his legal name Kirk Jones) to get revenge on Craig for beating him up at the climax of "Friday."
Once in the suburbs, Craig is reunited with his harried cousin Day-Day (comedian Mike Epps) and sex-crazed Uncle Elroy (comedian Don "D. C." Curry) and Uncle Elroy's new, voluptuous, equally sex-crazed girlfriend Suga (Kym E. Whitley). And of course, new threats come along, too, including the next-door neighbors, the Joker Brothers, and new friends, as well, including Day-Day's white skateboarding friend and co-worker Roach (the late Justin Pierce, who tragically committed suicide six months after the film's release and is seen here fulfilling a role that in another movie would be reserved for a person of color).
"Next Friday" doesn't have much of a plot, and it relies a lot more on vulgarity and toilet humor (there's a running gag with dog poop that also somehow involves Craig's dad Mr. Jones), than it does the breezy stoner comedy with an urban twist and underlying social themes about black unemployment from the first "Friday." (The latter gave the first film a degree of social consciousness that elevated it slightly above its genre trappings.) Furthermore, the repeating of several key plot devices from the first movie, and the lack of major players from the original "Friday" also brings down the overall experience, as well, and their absence is sadly felt. The movie is not a total disappointment, however; it does have its bright spots (Kym E. Whitley's super-seductive Suga, for one; the Joker Brothers and their lovely younger sister Karla, played by Lisa Rodriguez, who also catches Craig's eye), and a hilarious sequence involving Pinky (Clifton Powell), Day-Day and Roach's greasy-haired boss at a record store.
"Next Friday" was followed by a second sequel, "Friday After Next," in 2002.

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.

Next Friday is actually pretty funny even though it lacks the film's first scene stealer Chris Tucker. Ice Cube makes a funny script with the help of new scene stealer Mike Epps who plays his cousin Day-Day. All in all if you just want a good time check this one out.

Next Friday has many laughs to go around ,but I felt something was missing in this film. I know what is missing of course, Chris Tucker. The young man who made his breakthrough performance as a pot-head who hung out with Craig Jones (Ice Cube) on a memorable day (and film) between Thursday and Saturday. Now though, the sequel revolves around Craig's family instead of his neighborhood as the first Friday did. I think wrier/producer/star Cube decided to do that to add a little kick to the Friday saga, and it does. But without Tucker it's a kick from a baby. Still, the movie isn't the worst ever, it has many laughs from it's supporting characters (John Witherspoon, Mike Epps, Don Curry) who play Craig's odd family. Cool, hip, and not quite fine. A-

Next Friday is one of the worst films ever made.Starring rap "star" Ice Cube,this is an awful film portraying black people as a bunch of lazy,stupid,indecent,trashy goofballs with no purpose in life but indulging in sex,drugs,money,and pleasure.
No character in the film,including Ice Cube's own character,is anybody that you would care about when watching the "film".The attempts at humor fall way short of O'Shea Jackson's(Ice Cube's real name) means of achieving them.It is just a ugly feature film filled with vulgarity,violence,poor taste,and ebonics,showing blacks in a terrible light.
Most American blacks are in no way shape or form what one sees portrayed here in Next Friday,but the movie is heavyhanded in its' demeaning portrayal of black people and the filmmakers seem not to care that it is.One hopes Next Friday is the Last Friday to be made.

Next Friday is a movie i enjoyed to see all 4 times. That movie made me laugh so many times. The rating should be a 10 because i thought it was excellent. Ice Cube and Jacob Vargas were my favorite actors in that movie. And that African who came in the Pinky's store made me really crack up. OK, this is all for the comments,keep up the good work of making these kind of movies, and if possible, can the people please make a third part Thank you very much

This sequel doesn't work quite as effectively as the original--Of course, we don't have Smokey this time around--but I laughed a lot. Watching it a second time around, I found it pretty dull, but the first time I liked it. Mike Epps is very funny as Cube's cousin. John Witherspoon also provides some good supporting laughs. And I liked the uncle--I'm not sure what his name is, but I've seen him before. The jokes get repetitive at times, sometimes lame, sometimes just all-out crude, but they're often effective. Cube is a good writer, and he came up with such original lines like, "You ever heard of El Nino?" "Yes." "Well, this is El Negro." There were many wacky moments where I laughed hard, like the one with Pinky, the owner of a music store who comes to work in a limo and struts around like a pimp.
"Next Friday" is no "Annie Hall." The comedy falls flat at times and the humor isn't exactly classy, but I got enough laughs to recommend it. It's better than a lot of sequels I've seen.

This was the worst movie I've ever seen! When Chris Tucker said he wasn't going to do it, that should have been a clue, I mean, he made the first Friday. The first Friday was a classic, not to be messed with, and they put out this awful movie as a sequel. All I can say is, I'm glad I didn't pay any money to see this in the theater. I saw it on cable and was still mad, for wasting my time! And now, they have the nerve to make a Friday after next? WHY????
Don't get me wrong, I love Ice Cube, but this is just starting to get ridiculous. The character Day-Day is a flunkie, and he's not funny, and I just really hated this movie!

I saw this movie tonight at the theater. I was delighted at the humor involved in this movie, but was also upset that certain elements of the first movie were used in this. It was also disappointing that Chris Tucker was not a part of the cast. Overall, I believe the movie was hilarious, and if you are a fan of the first movie you should definitely see this one.

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

They say sequels are never as good as the originals. This movie was no exception. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Friday, but Next Friday definitely lacked in humor, acting and storyline especially.
This would have to encapsulate one of the most simple plots I have ever seen. The prequel to this film had a better story in it, and being a fan of hood movies, better locations.
Ice Cube once again proving he is a talented person, not some lifeless rapper - turned - actor. His part was as good as his last, but some new characters in this movie did not prove to me the film was better.
I would like to give this a better rating than 6/10, but for me it was not a big hitter.
So, the sequel theory is right again. 6/10.

This movie is painfully bad. I ended up sitting through it just to see if there was even one scene that might make me chuckle. Just one..... and there wasn't. It is so stupid it will make you feel ripped off even if someone walked up and gave it to you. You will feel like you wasted 90 minutes of your life.
There is not a single funny scene in the entire movie. It centers around Ice Cube going to visit his uncle, who had recently won the lottery. He hangs out with his moronic friend Day-Day and they try to be funny with a long series of boring, tired, done-a-million-times jokes on drugs, sex and flatulence.
I cannot believe that someone who is supposed to have some talent such as Ice Cube could have written such trash. And who in the world would have produced this film? Why it would have to be Ice Cube himself since no one else with any sense or taste would have touched it. This is, without doubt, the all-time worst movie ever made. I think you should all go and rent it (was it ever in the theaters?) just to see how bad films can be. Congratulations Ice, a new low!

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

"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).

Who says the sequel is never as good as the original? Where the first one concentrated more on the likeness of the characters over the comedy, like Austin Powers 2, this sequal was going straight for laughs.
But if anyone stole the show, it was the Joker character. Anything that guy said had me belly laughing. Plus, he says the funniest joke out of the whole movie. I highly recommend it.

After seeing the first Friday film and enjoying it, I expected this sequel to while not living up to the first, to be an enjoyable comedy that would serve up a decent amount of laughs.
This film is the equivalent of an Araon Seltzer and Jason Friedberg movie where the film has no plot and the humor is solely based around swearing and being vulgar, except it's all irritating and not funny in the slightest. The film may have been more tolerable if the characters were actually likable, but they are all annoying and unlikeable. Mike Epps was a terrible addition to the cast and is neither funny or a good actor.
There's nothing good about this film and it should be avoided at all cost. Even if you are a fan of the first film. I doubt I will even bother to check out the 3rd entry in the series after this mess.
