5/10
funny at times, but it's a letdown too the other 2 Fridays
24 October 2012
"Friday After Next" tries to be both a successful addition to the Friday series and an effective "holiday in the hood" movie and by all means, fails at both. Ice Cube reprises his role as both writer and actor for this very disappointing third installment. Craig and his cousin, Day-Day have moved back to South Central where they work as rent-a-cops at a shopping plaza on Christmas Eve. With their rent money stolen by an evil Santa Claus the night before, they need to come up on some quick cash and fast. With Day-Day's buffoonish antics getting the duo in some serious trouble with their equally-goofy boss who runs a donut shop at the plaza, they may be out of a job before the day ends. To tell you the truth not even Chris Tucker (Smokey) could have saved this Friday. Don't get me wrong this movie is funny at times and has a few nice moments but there are too many bad moments as well as stupid/unfunny ones that keep it from being good. I hope the fourth Friday their working on will be just as good as the original, and I do Hope chris tucker comes back.
