It is Friday and Craig Jones (Ice Cube) is unemployed, having, yesterday, been fired. He is lounging around his house with his friend Smokey (Chris Tucker), a rather incompetent weed dealer. Smokey's problem is that he tends to smoke, rather than sell, his product. This has lead to trouble with Smokey's supplier, Big Worm, who now wants his money, or his product back, or Smokey is a dead man. Then there's Deebo, the local bully, plus Craig's jealous, psychotic girlfriend, Joi, and Debbie, the neighbour Craig has a crush on. A lot can happen while lounging around your house on a Friday.Good fun. The first movie written by Ice Cube, of NWA fame, and the first movie directed by F Gary Gray, who would go on to direct Straight Outta Compton, the movie on NWA. Pretty funny, with a nice relaxed sort of feel.Some good themes towards the end, especially the anti-gun violence stance.Solid performances all round. Ice Cube and Chris Tucker make a good combination - Tucker as the over-the-top, extroverted Smokey and Ice Cube as the more straight-playing Craig.

I found this movie very funny with a story line that in a sense certain people could relate to in everyday life I thought it was great casting and it was entertaining from the time it started until it ended highly recommend watching this film as well as its sequels it also contains a lot of modern day stars that's considered icons in the entertainment industry as far as today. The movie setting brought back an old time feel and it was centered around the same neighborhood it also was one of the type of movies where one minute something happens but the next u don't know what to expect until it actually happens in other words the plot was unpredictable throughout the film which kept me guessing and attracted my attention into the film even more

This movie is fricken hilarious! I love chris tucker his expressions and acting is 10/10 including icecube and the rest of the actors! What I lived is the story line and how it's so original! Smokey is my favourite, I love the way he smokes weed through out the movie and just how funny it is! It's a very popular movie like I haven't met one person how was seen it and disliked it like it's a brilliant movie! It will leave you in cramps and tears of laughter. The style in the movie is good as we'll including the soundtrack haha, so if I was you, I would get up and rent,but or Oder it online if local video store don't have it because if your don't your missin out cuz.

Friday is one of those movies that is pretty pointless but it spoke to a generation. I think the real reason why this movie works is due to the likability of the cast. You can't help but like Ice Cube and Chris Tucker despite them being complete slackers and a bit boneheaded. Their chemistry is great and their comedic timing is solid. The supporting cast also play their individual roles well despite the lack of material.I find that I have no problem watching this movie and to a certain extent enjoy it but it still doesn't change the fact that it is nothing more than a cult hit movie that was released at the right time in history.
