Friday

Thoroughly charming and totally hilarious day-in-the-life comedy in which co-writer Ice Cube plays the stoic Craig opposite Chris Tucker's Smokey, a brilliantly rendered hyperactive marijuana enthusiast. The two twentysomethings, Craig recently wrongly fired and Smokey terminally slacking and scamming, barely make it through one highly eventful day. Eloquent commentary on themes like community, family, friendship, and violence is seamlessly blended with lighter treatments of young romance, bathroom emergencies, nosy neighbors and much more. Casually impeccable performances by the entire cast make this film a standout.

  • A sort of extended sitcom with an improvised air, this consists of idle gossip interspersed with moments of brisker action; despite being written and performed by rappers, it has little sense of urgency or aggression apart from that supplied by its soundt

    Funny as hell

    This is a must watch film if you are interested in hip hop / rap songs, or find Afro-American films to your taste!

    An all round excellent performance from Chris Tucker and Ice Cube. With some very funny one liners, this film is full of memorable quotes, mainly because they are so funny!

    You'll enjoy this one!

    Surprisingly Intelligent

    I can't say I was expecting too much when I put the DVD into my player, but I really enjoyed this film. Decently acted with a plausible yet humorous (at times) storyline. Tucker's funny.
