Consensus: This Friday installment is more shapeless and stale than its predecessors.

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. [More]

Perhaps the main problem with Friday After Next is that everything is too manic to be memorable.

A South Central LA comedy with more of the flavor of Halloween, the film is more about ghetto strife that's just too agitated to, well, pause for Claus.

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the 'hood, Friday fans were wishing the new sequel was good.

Never having seen the first two films in the series, I can't compare Friday After Next to them, but nothing would change the fact that what we have here is a load of clams left in the broiling sun for a good three days.

This is a terrible movie, one of the worst comedies of the year.

There must be an audience that enjoys the Friday series, but I wouldn't be interested in knowing any of them personally.

Neither as good as its direct ancestor nor as clever as the original Friday, this is, to put it bluntly, all seeds and stems.

I wish I could say "Thank God It's Friday", but the truth of the matter is I was glad when it was over.

Friday After Next is a lot more bluster than bite.
