This film is pure JOKES!If there is any film guaranteed to make everyone watching LOL at least once,its Friday.Its a film that takes a much more light hearted look at ''life in da hood'',but still manages to have enough serious stuff to not be just an all out spoof in the vein of Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinkin your Juice in the Hood.(also worth checking though.The humour comes from an absolutely knock out script,performed by a a great comedic cast.Chris Tucker is at his loudmouth best as Smokey,cursing,cussing and ripping his way through the film at a speed of 90 words per minute.Superb.Ice Cube demonstrates his gift for delivery doesn't stop at hip hop lyrics,with a subtle,under played performance as Craig,the much quieter and more streetwise counterpart to Smokey.But it is John Witherspoon as Mr Jones that steals the show.He has less scenes than Craig or Smokey but every scene he has,his lines are the funniest,right from the opening credits,where hes sleeping,quite obviously dreaming about his great love....no not Mrs Jones but hotsauce,''Gimme a two piece special,lots of hot sauce,and..all the fries you can give me''.LOL.The first scene see him in (not including the opening credits),the way he appears behind the fridge door,to surprise Craig with a early morning lecture is funny as.The story is quite engrossing,with enough great characters and dialogue to keep the film moving a at a good pace.Its one of those movies where you don't realise two hours or so have passed while you're watching it,which is such a rare thing.Even most of the ''classic''films have segments(tiny in some cases)that drag a bit,but Friday doesn't.The villain of the piece,Deebo,is believable and at times funny too.The story is well played out and straightforward too,but not so much so that it gets boring.I must have watched this film a 1000 times and i still laugh loud at least four times.fantastic comedy,the only adults who wont enjoy this are boring prudes who cant abide swearing and drug references(YES i DO mean YOU BBFC!!)9/10

''f*ck,f*ck,f*ck'' when these words are said by a two year old version of Jay before the film switches to present day Jay doing his rap(''drinkin beers beers beers,rollin fatties,etc)the tone of the film is firmly set.But did you expect anything else?The heroes of Kevin Smiths Jersey film series finally get the screen time,and sadly the send off,they deserve.This film is JOKES from start to finish,the dialogue is funny and in places very rude, especially from Jay.|The cast is full of brilliantly chosen cameos,featuring many people having a tongue in cheek pop at themselves.The Good Will Hunting 2:Hunting season section shows Ben affleck and Matt Damon can laugh at themselves,which in a film like this they would need to!Jason Mewes is on top form as is Kevin Smith,especially when Bob is finally driven to an uncharacteristic outburst of more than a few words.BOUT TIME!!!The continuity of this in relation to the previous Jay and Silent Bob outings is superb,and although it is a funnier film if you have seen Kevin Smiths other Jersey films,there are still plenty of jokes for the uninitiated.This is mostly down to a fantastic supporting cast of some great comedic performers.Will Ferrells WildLife Marshall is funny as f*ck as Jay would say!The movie is not just full of jokes at previous Jersey films expense,but it takes a few good shots at other films and even the film industry itself...could Movie Poopshoot.com be a reference to IMDb.com?who knows?.The 2 disc DVD is WELL worth getting if you like the movie,the outtakes are worth the money alone.And one particular extra ''Ham Affleck'' is worth checking,with Ben showing his real cheese skills(which he would perfected in Pearl Harbour,only that time he was trying to be serious).Also the introductions to the many deleted scenes are worth watching,with Affleck again taking some lighthearted ripping from Mewes and Smith.LOL.Rude,fun poking,loud and very very funny.....just like Jay.9/10
