It is Christmas Eve for most of the Christian world, but when Craig (Ice Cube) and Day-Day (Mike Epps) are rudely awaken by a burglar in a Santa suit, it is definitely another FRIDAY in the ghetto. The phoney Santa gets away with all the cousins' Christmas gifts and their overdue rent money after assaulting Craig with a paltry Christmas tree. Cops are called in and do little more than confiscate Craig and Day-Day's pot stash. Though the cousins may be used to such adversity in the 'hood, they have never before had to think about getting real jobs in order to pay the bills. This third installment in the hip-hop stoner series follows L.A.'s lovable losers through their first day as rent-a-cops at a South Central strip mall.
As each problem they encounter becomes more and more ridiculous, screenwriter and star Ice Cube and first-time director Mark Raboy have constructed an irreverent African-American holiday farce. The film builds to a fever pitch at a holiday party where nearly every character in the film shows up for a wild finale. The supporting cast delivers outrageously amusing portraits of ghetto stereotypes while composer John Murphy paces the film by deftly blending hip-hop with traditional film scoring.

"...Hilarious, rowdy....[With] gleeful low-down humor and a raft of uninhibited characters involved in one outrageous predicament after another..."
"...[The] project does provide a sizable stage for performers Witherspoon, Curry and, especially, Williams, to strut and show off..."
This is a must see movie for anyone who has seen the first two Friday movies - This trilogy just puts the icing on the cake!
This being the third in the series had to live up to how goodthe first (being the best) and the second which was quite good, It made us laugh with it's stuipd jokes we did enjoy it.
Rapper-turned-actor Ice Cube is set to avoid Saturday altogether when he stars in First Sunday, a new project to be directed by a playwright called David E. Talbert. Fans of the former NWA star will know that Ice Cube previously starred in the comedy trilogy Friday, Next Friday and Friday After Next, and Variety reports that First Sunday will be an "urban-themed comedy". Of course, Ice Cube has used his acting chops in action and dramatic roles too, beginning his screen career with... Read more
