Besides the butchered title and the various negative reviews, "Friday After Next" is actually the funniest film in the "Friday" franchise. It's quirkiness, silliness, and very nice setting works with the movie in a good way.Craig Jones (Ice Cube) and his cousin Day-Day (Mike Epps) return, this time living at their own home. After being robbed by a Santa Claus dressed character, who steals all their money. They need to pay their cranky landlady or they will be beat up by the homosexual neighbor.They get job as security guards in a strip mall were Craig's father, Mr. Jones (John Witherspoon) and Day-Day's dad, Uncle Elroy (Don "D.C." Curry) work. Stores like "Holy Moly Donuts", "Bros. BBQ", and "Pimps and Hos" (ran by Kat Williams) make up the strip.The movie isn't bad as people say it is. The deleted ending is very touching, and some of the chase scenes are fun to watch. Some of the scenes were not needed, but you can tell why they kept them. This is definitely the best of the franchise. I just hope that they use a better title for the possible fourth one. At worst it will be "Friday After Next After Next and the First." Or just called it something simple like "Last Friday" or "Saturday" and leave it at that.Starring: Ice Cube, Mike Epps, John Witherspoon, Don "D.C." Curry, and Kat Williams. Directed by Marcus Raboy.

Highly profane sequel finds Craig and his cousin Day-Day back in the hood where they've finally moved out of their parent's house into their own bachelor pad. They work as security guards at a local mall, and use their job expertise to try and lead their own investigation after a crook disguised as Santa Claus robs their apartment and the police don't seem very willing to help. Even worse, their landlord despises them and her fearsome son (a hardened ex-con), will make them pay dearly if they don't produce the rent money in time. Cast has energy, but they're helpless against a weak story, very few laughs, and excessive vulgarity. *½

1 - Friday 2- NEXT Friday 3 - Friday AFTER NEXT 4 - Friday AFTER X-MAS!!!!!!!!!!! <--- Perfect Title huh? I really loved the Friday movies this review says I must use up ten lines so I'm trying my best to do that but I really don't have time to be doing this oh God I just want to be doing something else. OK let's see if this works I know it will I just want to post this dumb thing already but I cant unless I have ten lines God why oh why can't I get ten lines already its like torture OK soon it will be done but I cant wait this long oh no what is happening please end soon so I can leave this place god oh my what is going on here i think i have ten lines but i really don't this sucks.

It won't be a classic like "Citizen Kane", nor does it have the gravitas of "Do the Right Thing" or "Bamboozled", but "Friday After Next" will be remembered as a hilarious insider's view of trials and tribulations of Craig and Day Day in South Central LA during Christmas. The language and jokes are funny but raw and definitely meant for adult audiences (this isn't a Christmas flick for the kids). However, the honest humor and authentic emotions make you feel like a fly on wall of Moley's donut shop. With all do respect to Raboy and Ice Cube, it seem like there's no script or director. This is meant strictly as a complement. Were these guy's making this stuff on the spot — "strictly for municipal uses only" and "Do you hear me now? Do you hear me now? If you have an open mind and enjoy a good laugh, you'll love Friday After Next.
