This is a terrible movie, one of the worst comedies of the year.
Top CriticFrenetic but not really funny.
You'd have to be applying pretty loose critical standards to describe Friday After Next ... as a good movie, but in the coming weeks it may certainly prove a useful one.
Friday movies are a lot like an African-American version of Seinfeld; they're really about nothing. And if you can appreciate the cultural dislocation of their urban California milieu, same as Seinfeld, they can be funny as hell.
The jokes are sophomoric, stereotypes are sprinkled everywhere and the acting ranges from bad to bodacious.
Leisurely, waxy potpourri of messy sight gags, coarse sex jokes and all-pro bad behavior.
Something to offend everyone.
It's become abundantly clear that series star/writer/producer Ice Cube hasn't a clue as to why the first Friday became such a beloved cult classic in the first place.
...more cartoonish than anything else...
Perhaps the main problem with Friday After Next is that everything is too manic to be memorable.
Will keep die-hard fans occupied until two Fridays from now.
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.
