Friday After Next
Tags: revenge, flashback

Plot synopsis:
The movie begins when a robber (Rickey Smiley), disguised as Santa Claus, breaks into Craig (Ice Cube) and Day-Day's (Mike Epps) house at 3:37 AM on Christmas Eve. Craig fights with the robber, trashing their apartment while making frantic, futile attempts to wake Day-Day. The robber escapes with Craig and Day-Day's Christmas presents and rent money. The same morning, the police come over to get a report.
After the police leave, Ms. Pearly (Bebe Drake) comes in and says that if the two do not pay their rent money by the end of the day, she will evict them. Furthermore, she promises to send her homosexual ex-convict son, Damon (Terry Crews), who just got out of prison after twelve years, after them if they do not pay in a timely manner. The same day, Craig and Day-Day get jobs as "Top Flight Security Guards" from Moly (Maz Jobrani), the property manager and owner of a notoriously squalid doughnut shop and the shopping center that they are assigned to patrol.
Later that day, they meet Donna (K.D. Aubert) and Money Mike (Katt Williams), who run a fledgling shop called 'Pimps and Hoes.' The shopping center is also the home of a BBQ rib restaurant called 'Bros. BBQ', owned by the cousins' fathers, Willie (John Witherspoon) and Elroy (Don "D.C." Curry).
A couple of baseheads try to rob Money Mike's store and Craig and Day-Day catch them both. Mike offers them a cash reward, but Craig denies it and invites him to his party. Willie and Elroy are having trouble with some of the children. When one of them kicks Elroy, he retaliates by taking out a belt and starts a series of beatings on the kids. Then, a gang of thugs, supposedly the grandsons of some carolers that were chased off by Day-Day for loitering in front of the corner store, begin to chase Craig and Day-Day, but, unable to catch them, they proceed to beat Moly for hiding them, resulting in the two quitting after witnessing what happened to Moly, throwing their uniform's in the dumpster and ultimately getting fired from their jobs. As revenge, Willie rats Moly out to the Department of Health.
Craig and Day-Day throw a rent party later that night to recoup their stolen money and stay in their apartment. While Money Mike is in the restroom, Damon attempts to sexually assault him, but fails when Money Mike grabs his testicles with pliers. Damon then proceeds to chase him when he tries to run away. Also Ms. Pearly comes on to Craig's father when he uses her bathroom, causing Craig's mother to attack Ms. Pearly when she catches the two. Craig and Day-Day see the robber and give chase, running into other obstacles and are ultimately unsuccessful. Eventually, the robber gets run over by Pinky's limousine.
The movie then ends when Craig and Day-Day retrieve their Christmas presents and tie and gag the robber up on a chimney. During the credits, it is revealed that Craig and Donna hooked up after Craig returned, Damon is still chasing Money Mike throughout the hood, and that Ms. Pearly tried to stop the party by calling the police, but they left after receiving marijuana as a bribe.

Review: From one of the worst roommates, Dey Dey,(Epps Jr.) to Pinky their ex-boss, to Pops and uncle, doing restaurant bar-BBQ together(and arguing and fighting, all the way)right on down to the landlord and one of the biggest 'problems' these two have had (Damon) since, well...since 'FRIDAY' 1995 when Chris Tucker was riding with Cube, and Deebo was troubling' em'!!The two police officers I won't soon forget, A.Hole and B.
And in all, as Mary would say, Jesus is the reason for the season all the way!I really love it when Ice Cube puts his writer's cap on and brings out yet another gem of a good-times movie.
I recommend this to Ice Cube and Mike Epps fans, because they take it and bake the cake and steal the show.Good team playing' y'all!
Craig (Ice Cube) and his cousin Day-Day (Mike Epps) are back for another installment in the "Friday" series.
This time the boys are in South Central and getting ready to celebrate Christmas...until a burgular dressed like Santa Claus (Rickey Smiley) robs the boys and getting away with their rent money and presents.
Craig and Day-Day then apply for jobs as security guards when their evil landlady, Miss Pearly (Bebe Drake), demands the rent money in advance or she'll let loose her burly son Damon (Terry Crews), who has spent 12 years in prison and now likes men.
Also featured in the movie are Craig parents (John Witherspoon and Anna Maria Horsford), Uncle Elroy (Don "D.C." Curry), Pinky (Clifton Powell) and even Chico the dog who wreaked havoc on Craig and Day-Day in "Next Friday".This movie was so hilarious and topped the second installment but could never surpass the original "Friday" simply because of Chris Tucker who played Craig's best friend Smokey.
Maybe if there's a fourth "Friday" Chris Tucker can join Ice Cube and the hilarious Mike Epps.
Again I thought that Friday After Next turned out to be a great film that had a lot of really funny humor that nearly had me rolling on the floors laughing.
I loved Friday After Next, the story rocked and the actors were back and it looked like they had a great time performing together again.
Craig and Day Day have jobs as security men in a strip mall and they find themselves being tormented by their land lady for the rent money.
They decide to throw a party to pay the rent money by charging party fees and Craig does fall for another woman, but she's a bit harder to get than the others.I loved the pimp and Damon's characters, they were just so funny, especially coming out of the party with Damon's partners in a clamp!
I highly recommend Friday After Next to anyone, it's a great movie that I honestly had a good time laughing with and I am not ashamed to admit that, I don't get the low rating, because this was a fun movie.
With the uncontrollable Mike Epps once again playing the crazy sidekick to Cube's Craig, Chris Tucker seems like a distant memory.
I think Cube and Epps are a great team on film but this movie was so bad I don't think anything could have saved it.
I know people who liked the first two movies will see this regardless, but if you are just going to see it because you think it looks funny don't..
The third movie in Ice Cube's "Friday" series, this was the funniest of the three so far.
Craig Jones and his cousin Day-Day have been robbed by someone going around dressed like Santa Claus and have all their gifts and rent money stolen (and their recreational drugs confiscated by the cops).
This one was funny at first then got really out of control at the end, Clifton Powell was the surprise comedic performance in this as Pinky - g he had me laughing pretty hard but it's John Witherspoon and Mike Epps who really made this funny...
My favorite part in the movie was when Money Mike said:"Speaking of cockroaches, where were your antennas when them ****** were stealing my ****?" "I didn't see them steal anything" "Well, use your eyes next time.
This movie is about Craig and Day Day who share an apartment together and they are robbed by 'Santa Claus' and later they become security guards so they can come up with the rent money for their evil landlord and if they can't come up with the rent money, her son Damon (who is gay after serving about 12 years in the pen) will take care of them and the boys are fired while on their lunchbreak, one thing that I didn't like about this movie is that Craig was overly bossy compared to the first two movies but this movie is much funnier than Next Friday and it is about a notch or two below the original Friday and this movie deserves more recognition than what it gets..
The saga of cousins Craig and Day-Day continues but to really get to the true grit of the film rent or buy the DVD and watch the Infinifilm with all of the deleted scenes.
(Not that JATW is a bad movie, IT ROCKS!) For a Christmas movie, you might wanna stick to The Santa Clause 2 or watch one you already have.If you're a fan of the Friday franchise, you'll be disappointed.
Many other reviews blame Mike Epps for this terrible movie I think he is a talented actor, I liked him in How High, the blame for this terrible movie should be placed entirely on Ice Cube.
I liked the last two Fridays, but neither of them are "comic gems," so I'm not going to give the whole speech about how this movie is a disgrace to the franchise.
At least with Pauly Shore, people don't give him the satisfaction of laughing at his so-called "jokes."  The girl who plays Cube's love interest is drop-dead gorgeous, though I do feel sorry for the majority of the female characters in this film, since they're treated as such sex objects.
2 years after the encounters of "Next Friday," Ice Cube and Mike Epps are at it again in "Friday After Next."  Craig (Cube) and his cousin Day Day (Epps) are now living in the suburbs on their own, when, all of a sudden, a robber dressed up as Santa Claus (picture O.D.B. dressed up as Santa) robs their apartment, taking their presents, CD collections, and the speakers in which one of them had the money for the rent.
This movie was not funnier than "Friday," but at least it was funny, and that's what counts.
and i hope they continue to make more, i'm sure "Friday the 13th" would be a great title for an upcoming sequel in this hilarious franchise.This time around Dede and Craig have to pay their rent money...
and you got yourself one heck of a funny movie.maybe they'll bring chris tucker back for the fourth one.
Unlike the other christmas specials that are just bland and have a lazily written story to cash in on the christmas season this one is actually good its funny it has returning characters from next friday sadly no Smokey and big worm this is the latest film in the series Watch it you wont regret it!
I hope life gets better for them so they don't have to make such bad movies like this..
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.
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..
i like these movies because they are very funny and again it's all about black entertainment.
It won't be a classic like "Citizen Kane", nor does it have the gravitas of "Do the Right Thing" or "Bamboozled", but "Friday After Next" will be remembered as a hilarious insider's view of trials and tribulations of Craig and Day Day in South Central LA during Christmas.
If you have an open mind and enjoy a good laugh, you'll love Friday After Next..
You can expect good laughs from this third installment in the Friday series.
running gag because if you do, FAN will steal your time faster than ghetto Santa on his "magic" sleigh.Try to catch this one sometime when you need a laugh.
I think this series has run its cause with this film, I loved the first movie, the second movie wasn't great but still fun and the third movie was just pretty lame few chuckles here and there and thats not enough, I was kinda bored throw most of it.
Its just that most jokes fall flat there were only about six jokes that made me chuckle as I said but still I say skip it, if you want a good Friday watch the first movie or even rent the second movie this is the lamest and and least funny of the series but still not bad enough to hate just we have seen it done before and better.
Quebec Rating:13+ Canadian Home Video Rating:14AFriday After Next is the third and last movie in the Friday trilogy of movies starring Ice Cube.All three movies are hilarious.The first one is definitely the best,the second one was very funny but nowhere near as good as the first.This one however is much funnier than the second and comes very close to matching the first.This one takes place at Christmas.Craig and Day Day get robbed by a man dressed in a Santa Claus costume.They also have to pay the rent before their landlord sends her son Damon (who was in prison for 12 years) to come get them.They both have jobs as security guards in a strip mall and most of the film shows their funny misadventures.They meet interesting characters such as Money Mike and Donna who is Craig's new love interest for this movie.Friday After Next is a very funny movie and a good conclusion to a good comedy trilogy..
I really loved the Friday movies this review says I must use up ten lines so I'm trying my best to do that but I really don't have time to be doing this oh God I just want to be doing something else.
mike epps as day day is great,believable and a funny actor..
hi tribute to ice cube to get this movie made and i think it was very very funny..
When I've seen this movie in the theaters and I wasn't expecting it to be that good cause I didn't really like Next Friday that much but I do love the original Friday alot, but to my surprise this movie is surprisingly good compared to what I thought it would be, even almost as good as the original Friday, I think that they did a good job with the characters in this movie than Next Friday cause Katt Williams is hilarious as Money Mike and the guy who played Mully was hilarious as well, the movie moves at a faster pace than Next Friday also although the script isn't that great, the actors who played Damon and Santa Claus were hilarious as well, I give this movie an 8 out of 10 stars..
The first half of the movie takes place at the strip mall with the funniest scenes involving Money Mike.
The funniest scene in the movie is when Money Mike goes to the bathroom and is followed by Damon.
That is what made the orignal movie so much better than "NEXT FRIDAY & FRIDAY AFTER NEXT" Chris needs to come back if they make another one because he is the only reason to laugh in the first one.Greg & Day Day finally have jobs as secretary at local donut shop.
I really like DAMON, the ex con who gives Craig and Day Day a hard time.
Mike Epps is still funny but Kat Micah Williams and Terry Crews still the movie from him.
FRIDAY AFTER NEXT (2002) ** Ice Cube, Mike Epps, John Witherspoon, Don D.C.' Curry, Anna Maria Horsford, Clifton Powell, Katt Williams, Maz Jobrani, BeBe Drake, Sommore, K.D. Aubert, Terry Crews.
Holiday high-jinks are on full display in this third outing of the popular `Friday' comedy film franchise with cousins Cube and Epps reduced to strip mall security guards on Christmas Day trying to raise funds for their rent after a thief in Santa Claus garb absconded with their money and presents.
Scattershot at best but frequently huge laughs with the cartoon-y characters at full-tilt especially memorable are the statuesque Aubert and diminutive Snoop Dogg-like pimp Money Mike (Williams, who steals every scene he's in) as an unlikely couple in recent cinematic memory.
The Christmas themed movie felt like a cheap excuse for a sequel and felt really out of place.Did anybody else notice that basically the only characters who remain the same throughout the entire series are Craig (Ice Cube) and his dad.
I would love to see a final film (Last Friday Of The Month) with Ice Cube, Mike Epps and Chris Tucker in, that would really be a good laugh..
Roommates Craig (Ice Cube) and Day Day (Mike Epps) have to live through another Friday.
This time around they have to cope with a nigga' ass thieving Santa, a couple of pimpy pimps, parking lot security guard bashing youth gangs and with Day Day's unabated stupidness.Honestly I must say that out of all the Friday series the third outing personally proved the most enjoyable.
Ice Cube and Mike Epps make a sympathetic duo, which somehow manage to gloss over the script idiosyncrasies and make the most of how idiotic the whole plot is, without ever turning it into a farce.Mildly entertaining, but fun enough to have a good time and not regret the experience..
It's quirkiness, silliness, and very nice setting works with the movie in a good way.Craig Jones (Ice Cube) and his cousin Day-Day (Mike Epps) return, this time living at their own home.
They need to pay their cranky landlady or they will be beat up by the homosexual neighbor.They get job as security guards in a strip mall were Craig's father, Mr. Jones (John Witherspoon) and Day-Day's dad, Uncle Elroy (Don "D.C." Curry) work.
At worst it will be "Friday After Next After Next and the First." Or just called it something simple like "Last Friday" or "Saturday" and leave it at that.Starring: Ice Cube, Mike Epps, John Witherspoon, Don "D.C." Curry, and Kat Williams.
i have to admit,i wasn't sure what to expect with this third and final installment in the Friday franchise.what i didn't expect was to be blown away like i was.this i one entertaining movie.it's moves a lightning pace,and it's over before you know it.i wouldn't say it the funniest of the three Per say,though are definitely some funny moments.it's just immensely entertaining.the story is very engaging, and the characters of Craig(Ice Cube)and Day Day(Mike Epps)are more likable than ever.all tolled,i think this is the best movie in the franchise,and that's saying something.by the way,look for Mike Epps in a hilarious(and unrecognizable)role as the old man with the shotgun.anyway,this is one Friday worth waiting for.for me,Friday After Next is an 8/10Friday (1995)Next Friday (2000).
Regardless of the trials they went through that day they made it out of it with a good Christmas.The main characters are Mike Epps and Ice Cube.
Mike Epps is the comic character of the film that keep you guessing what he would do next, and Ice Cube is the serious cousins that keeps it altogether(DaDa and Craig.
The first scene of the movie starts with them getting robed by a person dressed in a Santa Claus suit, caught by Craig.
The landlord always on there backs tells them they need to pay there rent by the end of the day or she's going to send her career prison son up to get it.DaDa and Craig start there new job as security on the same day.
An altercation breaks out during the party, while Craig goes to break it up spots the robber and follows him where he finally catches him and gets all his things back and more......Very, Very funny movie.
Terry Crews definitely has more range than Tiny Lister, and the writers must have realized that Mike Epps and Ice Cube weren't good enough to sustain an entire movie.
Bad Job. Spoilers herein.I can enjoy almost any movie, and pride myself on being able to see something interesting in even the worst, like "Video Dead." But this type of black exploitation film is too great a challenge.
This is it with the Friday series for now, but I hope they make another movie soon.
Ice Cube is back as Craig, and he's as funny as ever.
However, this film is still understandable and interesting for those who also didn't see the previous.Ice Cube's character (Craig) and Day-Day are two funny cousins that live together and need money to pay the rent after a mean Santa Claus steal theirs.
Ice Cube and Mike Epps are hilarious guys, specially Epps, so you will have a good time watching this.
Classic comedy scenes are abundant and the scene with Kat Williams/Money Mike is running from Damon and the Pimp Down scene are hilarious.
If you saw the movie in the theaters,  you missed a lot of funny scenes!
i love all three Friday movies.
Well, I do like the Coen brothers, P.T. Anderson, Stanley Kubrick, and other "critically acclaimed" stuff but I must say that I really get a good laugh out of these cheesy, ghetto Friday movies.
