FRIDAY AFTER NEXT (2002)

Another sequel to the original story which does not come close to measuring up to the first film.  In this film, Craig (Ice Cube) and Day-Day (Mike Epps) are back in the old neighborhood after a detour to the suburbs.  They end up getting robbed by a Santa Claus thief on Christmas Eve and the landlady demands to get her rent money or her son will throw them out on the street.  Having this threat hanging over them, they begin a new job as security guards with the hope of getting a pay advance to pay their rent.  Friday After Next is a comedy with some very awkward moments and characters that are tied into an awkward story.  Nevertheless, there are occasionally jokes and moments that offer laughter, but nothing more.  In the end, this is a poor cinematic experience and the Friday theme should now be considered wiped out.
