Something to offend everyone.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 24, 2010

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the 'hood, Friday fans were wishing the new sequel was good.

Full Review | Dec 27, 2002

This is a terrible movie, one of the worst comedies of the year.

Full Review | Nov 25, 2002

Neither as good as its direct ancestor nor as clever as the original Friday, this is, to put it bluntly, all seeds and stems.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Nov 24, 2002

All comedy is subversive, but this unrelenting bleak insistence on opting out of any opportunity for finding meaning in relationships or work just becomes sad.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 23, 2002

Frenetic but not really funny.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 22, 2002

You'd have to be applying pretty loose critical standards to describe Friday After Next ... as a good movie, but in the coming weeks it may certainly prove a useful one.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 22, 2002

Friday movies are a lot like an African-American version of Seinfeld; they're really about nothing. And if you can appreciate the cultural dislocation of their urban California milieu, same as Seinfeld, they can be funny as hell.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 22, 2002

The jokes are sophomoric, stereotypes are sprinkled everywhere and the acting ranges from bad to bodacious.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 22, 2002

Leisurely, waxy potpourri of messy sight gags, coarse sex jokes and all-pro bad behavior.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 22, 2002

A raucous, riotous, blisteringly obscene comedy.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 22, 2002

All this South Central color gives Friday After Next a lived-in feel that endears you to the characters and the way they live.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 22, 2002

There's an audience for it, but it could have been funnier and more innocent.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 22, 2002

Lacks the spirit of the previous two, and makes all those jokes about hos and even more unmentionable subjects seem like mere splashing around in the muck.

Full Review | Nov 22, 2002

I didn't laugh at the ongoing efforts of Cube, and his skinny buddy Mike Epps, to make like Laurel and Hardy 'n the hood.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Nov 22, 2002

It's bedeviled by labored writing and slack direction.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Nov 22, 2002

Cube and Epps play off each other well, but the comedy's success lies mostly in its talented stable of supporting actors.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 22, 2002

Cranks up an impressive amount of energy considering that it's the third installment.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 21, 2002

The constant flow of calamities spotlights a lot of talented and funny people under music video veteran Marcus Raboy's buoyant, good-natured direction.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 21, 2002

Just for fun -- a break from shopping, tree trimming, cooking, cleaning, wrapping and all the rest.
