Ice Cube (Barbershop) uses his relaxed, raffish charm to glide through the third movie in his Friday series. As Craig (Cube) and Day-Day (Mike Epps) sleep in the wee hours of Christmas Eve, a burglar dressed like Santa Claus breaks in and steals their presents and rent. Thus begins a classically bad day full of unsympathetic family members, obnoxious neighbors, squealing pimps, pot smoking, and sexy babes. No one's going to win any awards for this sloppy installment, loaded with preening stereotypes and half-hearted low humor; Cube generally plays straight man and lets the rest of the cast screech, yowl, and contort their faces, their performances as ornate and ritualized as a Japanese Noh play. But if you're a fan, Friday After Next will give you a modest dose of Cube's goofy humor. John Witherspoon and Don "D.C." Curry return as Craig's eternally disgruntled father and uncle. --Bret Fetzer

By	mikebagel - See all my reviews

theres not much to say about this one. Friday was hilarious, Next Friday was pretty funny and ok, Friday After the Next didnt change the direction.. 5 stars, 3 stars and now barely 2.

the plot was weak, the jokes were not as good as before, the some of characters were annoying and had been taken to ofar so on.. really cant think of anything good to say, a pity.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than "Next Friday", inferior to original, May 24, 2003

By	Breck Stewart "Breck Stewart: http://www.brec... (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews

Let's face it, the first one was the best. It came out of nowhere and became a decent hit which has grown into cult status in a very short amount of time. Chris Tucker and Ice Cube were perfectly matched and had a chemistry so palpable which made for a very enjoyable ride. Then, inexplicably Chris Tucker didn't appear in the sequel "Next Friday" (it was probably his choice not to return after the success of Rush Hour) and he was sorely missed. This second outing in the trilogy was boring beyond belief and, even though I had tried, I couldn't bring myself to like it.

Then, I had pretty much given up on the whole Friday thing until a friend of mine recommended that I rent this next installement. He told me he found it very funny and, not really knowing what to expect, I gave it a try. I must say my confidence was restored in the Friday potential and, even though this third act is not as great as it could have been, I found myself enjoying it quite a lot.

True, I am like most fans of Friday who all wish "Smokey" would come back. Chris Tucker made this role so memorable that everytime we get a new one, most of us secretly hope he'll be around. Well, no luck here either even though Mike Epps is doing quite a good job and is very funny in this. John Witherspoon as the father is always hilarious to watch and I found myself captivated by the pimp character, dressed in flamboyant costumes with an attitude to match. He was probably the best new character in the film in my opinion along with the new big tug around the block involved in a delicious storyline with homoerotic overtones.

My one regret about the Friday movies is the fact that Ice Cube doesn't give us the whole family anymore. What made the first one so enjoyable was the fact that they were all part of the scheme of things but now, we never get to see Craig's sister and his mother is only featured in a small thankless role. Frankly, she deserves much better.

There are some very nice gags and I laughed out loud at many of them. I must say I don't really care much for the infinifilm gimmick where you see the film as different options to watch the behind the scenes stuff became available all throughout. I either want to watch the movie without interruption or watch the special features and mixing the two is not my idea of fun. But maybe that's just me.

In conclusion, this third one is a good effort. It also made me hopeful that the fourth one (I am pretty sure there will be one according to what the actors said in the documentaries) will be even better, if we can finally have the chance to see every member of the family have a bigger part in the story. Good comedy worth a shot!

1.0 out of 5 stars WHERE'S SMOKEY?????!!!!!!, April 23, 2003

By A Customer

Not even Chris Tucker (Smokey) could have saved this Friday!!! The story line was soooooo lame. First off the original Friday is the greatest movie of all time. I don't why they decided to get rid of Smokey. Next Friday, Chris Tucker was replaced with Mike Epps, who is funny but no Chris Tucker. The story was average and dissapointing but still a funny movie. Now Friday after Next. I was really hoping that they would pick it up on this one, maybe even give a little cameo too Chris Tucker. The idea sounded tight: X-mas in the hood and the commercials looked funny. However this movie was so bad I couldn't even stand it!!! The story was wack and filled with tons of stupid anoyying characters like The Pimp, The donut guy and the strong gay guy who is supposed to be the new Deebo. The whole movie is about these guys not Craig or Day Day, who by the way aren't funny at all. Even Mr. Jones was lame. I have lost all respect for Cube as a story writer. You have to be real stupid to think this movie is funny. Cube should have kept it simple like the original but instead it's just a bunch of anoyying sub plots.
