Next Friday (DVD) ... released 25 September, 2000 at Entertainment in Video / Features of the DVD: Anamorphic, PAL / Written by and starring Ice Cube, this sequel to his 1995 smash Friday is an engaging farce that plays on the ludicrous charm of the original. It's Next Friday and Craig Jones (Ice Cube) has to pay the consequences for despatching Debo, the neighbourhood bully, to jail at the close of the first film. Hearing a rumour that Debo is to break out of the pen, Craig's father decides it would be safer if he holed up at his cousin Day-Day's house in the 'burbs. But as Craig finds out, this is one suburb that is filled with as much drama as the ghetto. Craig's Uncle Elroy is a layabout lottery winner with a sexually voracious young wife who has designs on her nephew. Day-day (Mike Epps) is being stalked for child support by a pregnant former girlfriend and lives in fear of his boss Pinky, a former pimp who runs a record store. His neighbours, a trio of pumped-up Chicano gangsters, are out for his blood after Craig is caught flirting with their sister Karla, and to top everything, Elroy's house is due to be repossessed in 24 hours due to tax violation. The ensuing hilarity centres around Craig's attempts to raise the necessary funds by fair means or foul. Much to Ice Cube's credit, this silly and scabrous comedy is laugh-out-loud funny without lapsing into American Pie-style frat-boy humour. On the DVD: The main feature is presented in 16:9 anamorphic format in an immaculate print with the choice of either Dolby Digital 2.0 or 5.1 sound and optional English subtitles. Among the special features is an alternate ending which features several small dialogue changes and a re-appearance by Cube's love interest Karla that provides a more satisfying conclusion than the actual ending to the film, which has been left intentionally open for a possible sequel, Friday After Next. Music videos by Ice Cube ("You Can Do It") and Lil' Zane ("Money Stretch") seem to have been included as an incentive to buy the all-star rap soundtrack. Additional features include a theatrical trailer and cast and crew filmographies. The "making-of" featurette advertised on the sleeve does not app ear anywhere on the disc. --Chris Campion

 ... plot is simple but never fails to make me laugh. With Ice Cube and his cousin day-day even the simpelist plot is brilliant. I am quite a fan of so called 'stoner flicks' with films like harold and kumar, and cheech and chong, but out of all of these the Friday series is my favourite. Next friday is mainly about how Craig has moved out of the ghetto to live with his cousin and uncle in the suberbs after their million dollar lottery win. The film has an excellent sound track, with many of the songs produced by Ice ...more

After the huge success of the ‘Friday’, Ice Cube decided to treat us to a second instalment of Craig Jones life in Los Angeles. But this time around Ice Cube decided not only to star in the motion picture but he also wrote and produced the film. Wording is going around is that Debo (played by Tommy “Tiny” Lister, Jr. A man none for one reason he’s 6ft5 and 275-pound and has star in movies such as: Beverly Hills Cop 2, Jackie Brown and Fifth Element and has stared in such T.V shows as E.R, NYPD Blue and The Fresh Prince of Belair) is going to break out of jail next Friday and he wants a rematch with Craig Jones (played by Ice ...  Read the complete review

Next Friday, the sequel to the awesome Friday (1995), is another good film. Using the same lead man, Craig (Ice Cube) this follows the story of who he had to move to Rancho Cucamonga form the 'hood, because there was rumours that Debo was going to break out from jail and have a re-match. Ok, the story from Friday is this, or the end of it anyway. Craig kicks Debo in, Debo is the 'hood bully. Debo gets arrested. Thats about it. Craig moves away to live with his cousin, Day Day and his Uncle Elroy. Across the street there is some Spanish drug dealers, called the Ese's. Uncle Elroy won the lottery, but for some reason his house ...  Read the complete review

NEXT FRIDAY I was more than excited when I heard the sequel to 'Friday' had been made and I eagerly awaited the release at the video shop. Unlike most sequel's, 'Next Friday' actually carried on from where 'Friday' had left off. It showed the end of the first film and then you were told a quick update. It still stars Ice Cube as 'Craig' and he tells us that 'Smokey' has gone to undergo rehabilitation for his weed smoking and that 'Debo' was in prison but has just escaped and is after him. The same actor plays Craig's dad which I thought was great and he was still as funny as ...  Read the complete review

Next Friday is the sequel to the smash hit Friday in which a two young black men living in the streets of America were confronted by different tasks and obstacles. In Friday, featuring the hilariously funny Chris Tucker, Ice Cube and Chris were two black Americans, young and unemployed living in the ghetto. It was based around the day Friday and the consequences that it brought for the two youths. Chris Tucker otherwise know as Smokey in the film was notorious for selling weed but when he ends up in debt to Big Worm the local Godfather of the drug selling business, Ice Cube - Smokey's friend is pulled into the whirlwind and has to find a way to accumulate sufficient ...  Read the complete review
