Editorial Product Review:Amazon.com:Friday is the rarest specimen of African American cinema: a 'hood movie refreshingly free of the semiseriousness and moralism of shoot 'em up soaps such as
Boyz N the Hood, yet still true to the inner-city experience.
Scripted by rapper Ice Cube,
Friday is a no-frills tale of a typical day in the life of a pair of African American youth in South Central. Cube plays Craig, a frustrated teen who endures the ultimate humiliation: getting fired on his day off. Then unknown Chris Tucker plays Smokey, a marijuana-worshipping homeboy whose love for the green stuff lands him in predicament after predicament.
Sitting on the stoop of Craig's rundown home, the two hilariously confront a kaleidoscopic array of gangbangers, weed dealers, crack heads, prostitutes, scheming girlfriends, and neighborhood bullies--all of whom, it should be noted, come off as sympathetic even as they are being caricatured, a true achievement in the crass, 'booty call' environment of '90s African American comedy.

Movie Review - FRIDAY
I enjoyed this movie so much. I laughed until I hurt. Chris Tucker was just as funny with his movie debut in Friday as he was in other movies; Money Talks, Rush Hour, etc. This movie also brought out acting skills and exposure to some really young and funny stand-up comedians that I remember from Def Comedy Jam...Angela Means, Bernie Mac, Yvette Wilson. But the man to watch in this movie is Ice Cube. Although his personality in the music industry is serious, he is funny in this movie. It's a dry humor but he is a great actor and the story line true to life and creative. This movie is very entertaining for adults but keep it out of view from the kids. Quite a bit of profane language.You must also get the sequels "Next Friday" and "Friday After Next"...HILARIOUS.Friday (New Line Platinum Series) Next Friday (New Line Platinum Series) Friday After Next (Infinifilm Edition)
