Tentang film ini

Hard-core rapper Ice Cube, after appearing in such hard-hitting films as Boyz 'N the Hood and Higher Learning, played his first comic role in this picture he co-wrote with frequent musical collaborator DJ Pooh. Craig (Ice Cube) manages to get fired on his day off (though he claims it's through no fault of his own) and spends the day hanging out with his buddy Smokey (Chris Tucker) and trying to avoid his father (John Witherspoon), who wants him to find another job immediately. Smokey (whose name might have something to do with his tremendous fondness for marijuana) has even more serious problems; he was given $200 worth of weed to sell by Big Worm (Faizon Love), but he ended up smoking it instead, and if he can't come up with the money by the end of the day, he'll be in a world of hurt (and will put Craig in the same place just for being his friend). And Deebo (Tom "Tiny" Lister, Jr.), a gargantuan bully who roams the neighborhood on his bicycle, has it in for Craig, while Craig tries his best just to stay out of his way. As one would expect, Friday features a strong hip-hop soundtrack, featuring tracks by such artists as Dr. Dre, Cypress Hill, Mack 10, and Funkdoobiest, as well as old-school R&B selections from The Isley Brothers, Roger, and Rose Royce.

One of the best "stoner film" that exist for a main stream audience. The story is compelling and very funny. The acting between both Chris Tucker & Ice Cube is a wonder to watch. It's worth every single silly moment. Friday is the best of the Friday trilogy...

By now this film has to be regarded as a classic. I agree with some of the reviews on here , that it was particularly infantile and you could see the humour coming. There were some good moments however with Nia long and Chris Tucker. Chris Tucker , is showing his destiny with fame from an early stage here. Nia Long is so beautiful that you have to fall in love with her. I guess for Ice Cube it was a start for him, he writes about where he is from, it would have been refreshing to come away from the base of "boys in the hood" and the whole hip hop , "hood" thing, but what other story is there to tell ?I am glad I saw it. There is not that many films from the black perspective so you have to encourage the genre. As a Black woman ( British) watching this there is a sense of pride of the talent that is out there, and the unique Black story there is to tell. I celebrate and welcome it. It would be interesting to see a follow up from this, though no doubt our talented Ice Cube has moved on since then.
