Is "Next Friday" equally as funny as the original?

Hip Hop Movie Club

In Next Friday, Debo, the terrifying bully, escaped prison and is out for revenge on Craig. To escape, Craig seeks refuge in the suburbs with his uncle Elroy and cousin Day-Day. However, the 'burbs' are no field day for Craig and Day-Day, as the 'Joker' brothers prove to be worthy foes. In this one, there's slightly less weed, but just as much adventure.

Topics discussed:

  • 🧊 There is no Chris Tucker, but Ice Cube proves that he can carry the film as the main star.
  • 😂 The late John Witherspoon shows off his signature ridiculous humor!
  • 🃏 Jacob Vargas as Big Joker is a hoot.
  • 🚲 We wanted more Debo, but at least he drives the plot line.
  • 💿 The soundtrack features some prominent hip-hop artists, and is punctuated by the memorable "You Can Do It" by Ice Cube, Mack 10 and Ms. Toi.
