Next Friday is a truly awful film.
Top CriticThe flick could use Chris Tucker, co-star of the first Friday, AWOL in the sequel. He probably took a look at the script and realized this sequel was no reason to shout, 'T.G.I.F.'
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.
Next Friday will eventually be remembered as a disposable farce, but one that leaves a happy memory.
Its humor batting average would earn anybody an MVP.
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.
Most of the characters are so foolish and short-sighted that they can't see beyond the last puff of the fattie they're smoking.
When you feel like you have to explain the pop culture references in your gags, your movie is in trouble.
Next Friday, after its midway mark, just lumbers until it fizzles out.
And make no mistake about it, this unfunny farce is as awful as a sequel can get.
A stupid, petulant exercise in racism and misogyny.
Not a giggle, not a smile nor a smirk came out or across my face.
In laying on all the outrageousness, Ice Cube sacrifices a key element to Friday's appeal: a surprising amount of heart.
A heaping piece of rancid garbage.
Surely a better title would have been 'Saturday'.
About as deep as an empty wading pool.
