Profile of Next Friday

The mood of Next Friday is humorous. The plot centers around suburban life, an eccentric family, and social misfits. It features grossout humor and silly humor. Next Friday is a comedy and independent movie. In approach, it is not serious and realistic. It takes place, at least partly, in the suburbs. Next Friday is set in Los Angeles. It happens in the 1990s.

Summary of Next Friday

Set two years after the events in FRIDAY, NEXT FRIDAY follows a day in the life of protagonist Craig (Ice Cube), who must flee Los Angeles after neighborhood bully Debo breaks out of prison, vowing to beat him to a pulp. Craig escapes to his uncle Elroy's house in Rancho Cucamonga, only to discover that life in the suburbs is even more screwed up than in the ghetto. His uncle is into S&M; his aunt is a nymphomaniac; the neighbors are a bunch of gangsters; and his cousin is chased by a former girlfriend and a thuggish woman named Baby D. The fourth film produced by Ice Cube, NEXT FRIDAY is, like its predecessor, a buddy film pairing straight man Ice Cube with fresh comedic talent Mike Epps. Helmed by first-time director Steve Carr, who is known for making stylish videos for top rap acts, the film sends up raunchy life in suburbia from an African American perspective. The soundtrack is liberally sprinkled with thumping hip-hop tracks, including "Chin Check," the first new song from the rap group NWA in many years.

Critics Reviews

Variety
A few good laughs but few surprises in Next Friday, an amiably unfocused sequel.
Entertainment Weekly
Starts high, gradually bogs down, then dies.
