Friday - New Line Platinum Series DVD

Average Rating:

This is the kind of movie anyone could like if they would just give it a shot. As far as any neighborhood is concerned, most people would be able to relate to the wacky stuff that goes down in this film. Every character has his or her own little humor going for them, but the highlight of this film for me is John Witherspoon, who plays Craig's dad ("... just BAM! BAM! BAM! all day long, my foot up a dog's .... That's my PLEASURE!").

While Friday isn't my favorite movie, it's one of the few movies that I'll probably never get tired of. It's the perfect film to just kick back and watch when you have nothing particuarly important to do. I haven't seen the sequel yet for reasons unknown to me. Besides, I doubt I'll enjoy it as highly as I enjoyed this one. Don't analyze it or pick it apart. Just sit back, relax and enjoy the show.

Ice Cube stars as Craig, who just got fired from his job and has nothing to do on a Friday and he doesn't know what to do because he's so broke. His friend Smokey (Chris Tucker), comes over and shows him how good and simple and fun it can be to just hang with your friends, "spend ... on something and just kick back and enjoy your surroundings. Every which way, Cube and Tucker find ways to make you laugh around every corner.

O.k. for some people, this movie might make you mad because there is a lot of drug referrences in this movie along with a lot of swearing and for some people, the N word is used and that may offend some people. Honestly, I really don't think it should be all that offensive to anyone because, it's not like it was used outside of being a term of endearment between a couple of friends in this movie.

I would suggest FRIDAY to anyone who has a good sense of humor because it'll make you laugh and that's what really counts in this movie. Again, great movie for a few laughs!
