Craig (Ice Cube) loses his job and hangs out with his pot selling buddy Smokey (Chris Tucker). Craig has a girlfriend but wants to get rid of her and hook-up with Debbie (Nia Long). Tom Lister jr. Plays the neighborhood bully who rides a bicycle. Faizon Love is Big Worm, the supplier to Smokey who has been smoking up the product.

It is a watchable light comedy without a lot of linear plot. Well get to hear Ice Cube say the words, "Bye Felisha" which will most likely outlive him. Chris Tucker is a bit flamboyant as if he was warming up fro his role in the Fifth Element.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

The movie that introduced me to Chris Tucker casts him and Ice Cube as a pair of ghetto guys trying to bum their way through life. "Friday" manages to keep the perfect balance of serious look at the grimness of a ghetto existence, and hilarious gag-fest. Much of the movie has the two friends getting high while trying to think of how to pay a drug dealer $200 by 10 pm. But there's just a lot of really funny stuff every step of the way. You're sure to love it. Because I'm not just f**king with you.

Also starring Nia Long, Tommy Lister Jr, John Witherspoon, Anna Maria Horsford, Regina King, Tony Cox, Bernie Mac, Lawanda Page (Aunt Esther on "Sanford and Son") and a brief appearance by Michael Clarke Duncan. Director F. Gary Gray later directed "The Negotiator" and "The Italian Job".

It's Friday. Craig Jones (Ice Cube) loses his job and living with his family. His dad (John Witherspoon) wants him to join him as a dogcatcher. He can't stand his jealous girlfriend Joi and is interested in sweet Debbie (Nia Long). His best friend Smokey (Chris Tucker) smokes weed and sells for supplier Big Worm (Faizon Love). Big Worm wants his $200 and threatens to kill both Craig and Smokey. Deebo is the giant bully of the neighborhood.

This is a fun slice of ghetto life. It's a cross of ridiculous and hard. The movie is a fun watch with Tucker joking around. Then the movie takes another step up. When Craig's father catches him with a gun, he tells him that his fists are all he ever needs. That's a big scene. It's also surprising since the father is played as a joke at the beginning. That scene makes this a better movie than a simple weed comedy.
