Summary: The gang from Friday and Next Friday are back in this urban comedy, in which Craig (Ice Cube) and Day-Day (Mike Epps) have finally moved out of their respective parents' homes and gotten an apartment together. However, a bogus neighborhood Santa Claus (Rickey Smiley) decides to help Craig and Day-Day share the wealth by robbing their apartment, and when he rips off their stereo, he also makes off with their rent money, which was hidden in the speaker cabinets. Desperate to make rent and have some money for Christmas presents, Craig and Day-Day land jobs at a local strip mall, where their fathers, Mr. Jones (John Witherspoon) and Uncle Elroy (Don "D.C." Curry), have gone into business together running a barbecue joint. Craig and Day-Day are installed as security guards, and while Craig tries to make time with Donna (K.D. Aubert), a saleswoman at the Pimp N' Ho's Boutique, and keep things orderly at Holy Moly's Doughnut Shop, Day-Day attempts to transform himself into a master of crime-fighting, which causes a lot more problems than it solves. Friday After Next is the first feature film from director Marcus Raboy, who previously directed music videos for Sting, Li'l Kim, Staind, and Friday After Next star Ice Cube. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Jeremy Wheeler

For the third installment of Ice Cube's Friday series, the filmmakers do the impossible and manage to up the comedic stakes while delivering a new holiday favorite in Friday After Next. If it's laughs you want, then that's what you're gonna get here. Gone is the urban drama aspects that plagued the first two films, replaced instead with more wacky situations, riddled with some of the most outrageous ensemble performances in some time (highlighting the early appearances of Katt Williams, Maz Jobrani. and Terry Crews, among others). Most of the main Friday cast members are back and in fine hilarious form as well, once again supported by comedian John Witherspoon, who consistently kills each and every scene he's in. Surprisingly, it's Mike Epps that pulls in the most laughs as Cube's returning cousin Day-Day. Working off of a promising performance in Next Friday, Epps comes into his own here and does his very best to shrug off Chris Tucker's looming shadow in the franchise. Add in non-stop dialogue and a breezy 82-minute running time, and Friday After Next easily makes up for the first slapdash sequel and solidifies its own place in the series which most viewers foolishly all but write off after the first film. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi
