Next Friday is a truly awful film.

Notable chiefly for feeding a stereotype of blacks as shiftless layabouts interested mainly in recreational drugs and irresponsible sex.

It's vulgar and raggy, but also very funny.

One measure of its desperation and lack of respect for its audience is the frequency with which it labors to wring humor from flatulence and excrement gags.

Isn't quite the picture its predecessor was.

Next Friday will eventually be remembered as a disposable farce, but one that leaves a happy memory.

Lazy, dumb, and misogynistic.

[Cube abandons] the heavy-on-dialogue rhythm in favor of needless subplots rife with hijinks.

Still, in the Wayans Brothers tradition, a few of the vignettes are savvy and effective.

About as deep as an empty wading pool.

A heaping piece of rancid garbage.

A half wit follow up to a semi-descent movie. When Chris Tucker won't sign up for a sequel, it's usually a bad sign. Mike Epps was a horrible addition to the cast, reducing everything to bad punchlines. While it does have some good elements, the bad certainly outweighs the good.

A decent sequel.
