I discovered Friday just a year ago, and since then it's one of my most favorite movies that I rewatched for about 40 times or even more. The most amazing thing about Friday is that everyone was so natural in it, so it doesn't feel like a movie - it's rather a reflection of real life. And it's still wonderful, still hilarious. All the best wishes to everyone who made Friday possible! Love you all! :)

........................................................from Pasto,Colombia...Via: L.A. CA, CALI, Colombia & ORLANDO, FL I was feeling like a GOOD Comedy, (SO hard to come by nowadays, ne c'est pa?) I recalled a recent note from a Friend, touting Friday, saying that only ONE Friend had rated it below 6*. Clicked to check...Nine out of Ten = 10* Reviews and one 8* on PAGE One! Takes place in South Central L.A… Hey! I grew up in SOUTH CENTRAL!...WOW! Sounded like a 100% sure bet, Right? (Queue LOUD Buzzer Sounding) WRONG!!! Was REALLY disappointed...Here's WHY: Friday did not really offer up much in the way of anything fresh or original. In a DVD Extras' interview, the principals claimed that Friday would show a much more true-to-life, much less violent HOOD, unlike some other famous late 80's early 90's flicks. Hmmm…...OK, let's see: One of the two main "Buddies", played by a then relatively unknown Chris Tucker, smokes weed, non-stop, 24/7, and is named "Smokey"! Oh! BTW, he also deals Marijuana! …WOW! We've NEVER seen THAT in an inner- city movie before, huh? Excuse me!?! Did they say "True to life...or True to Stereotype?" Well, how about the "much less violent" angle? Hmmm…Two machine-gun toting Gang-bangers spray their house with at least 100 rounds! Hey, just another typical day of peace and quiet in the HOOD, right! There are a number of other negative stereotypes presented as well.Two things I resent: First, why are these things OK if it's supposedly Black movie…or do I have to say "Afro-American"? Secondly, why are so many people afraid to bring it up, for fear of being labeled, "Racist"? I have African ancestors. They are 6 or 7 generations removed, so I'm pretty bleached out, but I must still have a couple African genes in my genetic profile. So, PLEASE, spare me the racist label, O.K.? Must admit though, HOOD did deliver at least a few good laughs! 5*...ENJOY/DISRUTELA!?!...(I Hope Much More Than I) Any comments, questions or observations, in English or Español, are most welcome!

"Two homies, Smokey and Craig, smoke a dope dealer's weed and try to figure a way to get the $200 they owe to the dealer by ten p.m. that same night. In that time, they smoke more weed and get jacked and shot at in a drive-by." that's the summary of the movie depending to IMDb and to be honest? not much more to talk about. the entire movie is about two homies smoking dope and chatting and that's basically it، not much comedy nor much drama, of you'd ask me this movie is so terrible that i keep asking myself how in God's name did i watch the entire thing?. at the beginning of the movie Smokey's voice over is talking about something that changed the neighborhood for ever and what was it? a drive-by shooting? or two guys smoking dope? or is it a big dude being beaten up? nothing really surprising happened for the entire 1h 31min's that i watched this movie except of Pepsi spilling on my shirt.

Friday is one the best comedies to come out of the 90s in my opinion, still very enjoyable today...There's isn't a lot of plot to speak of, but there isn't much necessary. What you get with Friday is a day in the life of Craig and Smokeys neighbourhood. Along the way you'll meet a great bunch of well written, funny, developed characters.. Like a fly on the wall experiencing this place, and its an enjoyable ride. On top of that, its Chris Tucker's best role outside of The Fifth Element, he is hilarious in this.Overall: If somehow you have missed this, watch it!
