Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Marcus Geebs "Friday After Next" tries to be both a successful addition to the Friday series and an effective "holiday in the hood" movie and by all means, fails at both. Ice Cube reprises his role as both writer and actor for this very disappointing third installment. Craig and his cousin, Day-Day have moved back to South Central where they work as rent-a-cops at a shopping plaza on Christmas Eve. With their rent money stolen by an evil Santa Claus the night before, they need to come up on some quick cash and fast. With Day-Day's buffoonish antics getting the duo in some serious trouble with their equally-goofy boss who runs a donut shop at the plaza, they may be out of a job before the day ends. To tell you the truth not even Chris Tucker (Smokey) could have saved this Friday. Don't get me wrong this movie is funny at times and has a few nice moments but there are too many bad moments as well as stupid/unfunny ones that keep it from being good. I hope the fourth Friday their working on will be just as good as the original, and I do Hope chris tucker comes back.

t-wilson2008 This film is very hilarious aired around Christmas, 2002. This was the third Friday spun from parts one and two. It showed the up and downs of another Friday in the low class parts of town on Christmas. Regardless of the trials they went through that day they made it out of it with a good Christmas.The main characters are Mike Epps and Ice Cube. Mike Epps is the comic character of the film that keep you guessing what he would do next, and Ice Cube is the serious cousins that keeps it altogether(DaDa and Craig. The first scene of the movie starts with them getting robed by a person dressed in a Santa Claus suit, caught by Craig. "Man what you doing in my house, making a god**** sandwich" Craig fighting for his things and DaDa in the bed dreaming about things he wants for Christmas. When the fight is over the robber still gets away with all there things and they are left with no Christmas present and no rent money. When the cops are called to the scene they show up very rude and made it a point to say "Santa Claus strikes again I need to go home and lock my stuff up". The landlord always on there backs tells them they need to pay there rent by the end of the day or she's going to send her career prison son up to get it.DaDa and Craig start there new job as security on the same day. DaDa decides to go to work and become the employee of the month the first day. Getting into everything as the day goes on, runs into a group of Lady's singing Christmas songs on the corner decides to say " You'll hoe's need to get up off this corner using God as a crouch" the Lady's respond " I ain't no killer but don't push me".As the day goes on DaDa kept running into trouble finally mid-day the older lady grandson returns for retaliation on Craig and DaDa..Now there on the clock running from gangsters that wants to harm them. Craig decides the job is not that important and throws away there whistle and uniform shirts. The gangsters run into there manager and beats him up. Craig and DaDa sits in his fathers Bar-be-cue restaurant and acts if they were eating lunch the whole time, when the manager come in he fires them for not being around while he's getting beaten.Finally the story ends with them having a fun raiser party for there rent. An altercation breaks out during the party, while Craig goes to break it up spots the robber and follows him where he finally catches him and gets all his things back and more......Very, Very funny movie

Special-K88 Highly profane sequel finds Craig and his cousin Day-Day back in the hood where they've finally moved out of their parent's house into their own bachelor pad. They work as security guards at a local mall, and use their job expertise to try and lead their own investigation after a crook disguised as Santa Claus robs their apartment and the police don't seem very willing to help. Even worse, their landlord despises them and her fearsome son (a hardened ex-con), will make them pay dearly if they don't produce the rent money in time. Cast has energy, but they're helpless against a weak story, very few laughs, and excessive vulgarity. *½

tsq67 This is must see cinema If you can quote all the crazy phrases and dialog from the Original Friday then this one is for you. The saga of cousins Craig and Day-Day continues but to really get to the true grit of the film rent or buy the DVD and watch the Infinifilm with all of the deleted scenes. My personal favorite is the deleted scene of how they lose there old job at a nursing home ...that old man that ran the student diner on A Different World is just too damn funny .... The plot is basic ghetto.. . The Christmas bandit that does break ins in a Santa suit is a good subplot. The movie is a true salute to black entrepreneurship. Craig and Day-Day parents open up a BBQ restaurant, a pimp goes legit and opens a clothing and pimp accessory store, Pinky the record store owner from NEXT Friday is still in business and Craig and Day-Day show a penchant for party promotion when they throw a rent party at their apartment. But I digress, the quotables are some of the funniest one liners in Blaxpo ever. I mean truly, I never thought about getting my dick sucked from behind until Day-Day mentioned it or ever questioned the motives of church ladies standing in front of a Liquor store singing hymns or carols until Day-Day asked them if they were trying to sell pussy in the lords name ...Damn thats Ghetto! Without Chris Tuckers character the Friday franchise moves on. Craig has moved on in life without the neighbor that damn near got him and his family killed. Who wouldn't? But seriously analyze it on its own merits and forget Cris Tucker. One more note that I nearly forgot don't ever see Mike Epps in concert that mofo is not funny doing stand-up. I paid 58 bucks to find out the hard way. There is a rule in comedy never follow a comedian that has better material than you ... well his ass had No material. The funny guy at work place is funnier and has better material.
