A really easy-to-watch comedy, with some decent laughs and just enough plot to keep things interesting. Ice Cube is a watchable anchor for the shenanigans, Tucker brings a nervous, likeable energy to his role, but it's Witherspoon who brings the most funny - he's a riot. There's some nice music to enjoy throughout as well. If I was picky, I'd say it was a bit self-serving on Ice Cube's part, but it's not a problem; it's no "A Star is Burns". Watch if you need to disengage your brain for a bit.

I'm biased as Ice Cube's "It Was a Good Day" is my favorite music video ever. And here, again working with F. Gary Gray, he expands on a single day narrative. Drawing influence from CLERKS, this is a hip-hop hood film more aligned to the hilarious records of De La Soul than N.W.A's drama. And oddly enough it is a coming-of-age story, as Craig learns a lesson he should've picked up earlier. It's funny, although a little of Chris Tucker goes a long way, and it could've done without one flashback.

What makes Friday good is the humor is silly but never preposterous. The characters never take themselves too seriously and there is no deep moral message beyond two guys hanging out in a suburban "hood" on a Friday. This is a perfect depiction of life in the CA suburbs but it could have been anywhere in America. This is probably the most convincing role Ice Cube has been in since he's probably just acting like himself.

Black people are hilarious

Being a white guy who grew up in suburbia I can't really act like this film touches me in any profound way (not like The 'burbs or Disturbia), but I do think it's pretty damn funny. It was nowhere near perfection, but they kept it relatively simple and it was somewhat believable as a storyline for one day for these characters. Possibly Chris Tucker's best role.
3	Leonardis	78 _26th
I don't really watch a lot of Ice Cube and I'm not a fan of Chris Tucker, but this may be their best performances and they've got a lot of good chemistry to keep the film rolling. I thought it was a decent movie and it had a few laughs in there as well. I would say it's worth watching for the story and the acting.
3	Paxton	54 _26th
The only imaginable reason for watching this would be that it was the end of the work week which doesn't matter because you're unemployed, and there's nothing on your immediate agenda.
2	BattleToad	83 _69th
No matter how little goes on in the film, it's very funny, and as the point of a comedy is to make you laugh, this film does it's job well. Really good!
2	TheDiceman	55 _49th
Good.
2	buggz79	78 _67th
You gotta love Chris Tucker in this one

It's friday, you ain't got a job, and you aint got shit to do!
2	Boobjuice	36 _38th
I rented this when I was young so that I could talk about it among all the cool "older kids" (mind you, I was like, eleven at the time.) I didn't have a goddamn clue what the hell this movie was about back then, and it kinda scared the shit outta me. Upon a more recent re-watch, I concluded that it's some real basic, mindless stoner humor that I'm not a fan of.

It is a good comedy, for days when you needed to see a comedy. Perhaps the story is too simple and could be developed further. Anyway, is a comedy, and is fun, without others pretensions.
2	BillyShears	60 _34th
We are going to show it wasn't always like some Boyz in the Hood nightmare constantly, there will only be one drive by shooting scene. It's fun to watch a movie and find out where some meme gifs came from. There's great characters here but it's not that funny. I hate that I know I'm going to enjoy the Christmas themed sequel for this film the most, I'm in a cold sweat over it.
2	mwgerb	46 _36th
Pretty funny and enjoyable. It's just realistic enough that it works.
2	myfavchords	85 _88th
This is a very funny comedy. Ice Cube and Chris Tucker make a good comedy team. If you are in the mood for some good laughs then check this film out.
2	noisebloom	85 _66th
Friday is an analogue of Clerks - it's a movie about nothing more than hanging out on a front porch and dealing with everything that comes with being an immature young man in the hood. The movie delivers that premise with lots of humor, character, and a meaningful depiction of coming-of-age struggles.
2	Seeger Wilde	100 _50th
Yes. That is 100. Craigs father is one of the top 3 supporting role characters of all time. from hilarious to heartfelt. when craig pulls a gun aimin to defeat Deebo its his dad that gives says THE line of the film. if you fight with ur fist u might lose, but u live to fight another day. Friday. 100. A .
1	svicciarelli	85 _50th
Good stoner comedy. It works because its characters are so believable and likable.
1	doctor7	68 _49th
Even though I'm very white I enjoyed the film. It's got some really funny bits. Chris Tucker is quite funny and it's just a fun film to wath.
1	UKSubs	65 _61st
One of those movies that reaches across cultural divides that almost everyone admits enjoying. Which is not at all dissimilar to the feelings of resentment that Next Friday caused in basically everyone.
1	Dorkovsky	4 _41st
Chris Tucker is the best part of this film. Yeah, I know how ridiculous that sounds.
1	hojo	90 _87th
WHAT WE HAVE HEEEERRREEE... IS CALLED A TWINNY TWIN TWINNNNNN... NIGGAAAAAAA!!
1	Ytadel	5 _57th
Mildly amusing. It's nothing to write home about, but it's easy to watch and has a couple laughs.
1	ozymandius10	71 _57th
This is an excellent lazy day comedy. Ice Cube isn't a phenom of an actor, but he's more than adequate in this role. Chris Tucker really should stick to roles like the one he played in this, because the guy is absolutely hilarious. For what this movie is, it's excellent. The only reason you wouldn't laugh is if you lack a soul.
1	Space Pope	70 _51st
I was genuinely surprised that a relatively cliche comedy about growing up, flowing with silly and gentle humour, managed to stealthily draw me in enough to shout "oh, fuck" toward the end. Despite having no connection whatsoever to any urban black community, this was infinitely relatable and very easy to just fall right into. Not a bad experience for just happening to catch on TV one night when I ain't had shit to do.
1	twincinema	70 _53rd
Its biggest strength is how laid back it is. I was tired when I started watching this, but then Chris Tucker came in and served me three cups of coffee.
1	saucyjack	40 _19th
Pretty lame, plotless stoner "comedy". An unfortunate example of the many films that are tailored to African Americans and do so in such a braindead way. Hollywood really must think African Americans are idiots if this is the dominant portrayal.
1	mtoci	100 _95th
for the lulz
1	Luna6ix	73 _44th
"Friday" is a relic of the 90's, it's dated, trite, and still pretty funny. I'm not sure you can call it a classic, but you can call it entertaining.
1	Vandelay1	63 _65th
okay movie
1	muzak66	98 _98th
Very funny movie.. had alot of great lines.
1	Obdurate	70 _40th
It doesn't astound the audience, outside of Tucker actually being competent and perhaps even a little bit likable, but it's a fun enough comedy about a couple of dudes lazing around, smoking weed and talking shit. Not as funny as it could have been, but some good laughs exist like, "I saw the window open so I said 'fuck it.'" What makes it a little bit better than an average comedy is that I found myself caring for the characters.
1	moraesfelipe	50 _33rd
Written, produced, starred by Ice Cube, with an annoying self-consciousness that just spoils most of the comedy here -- all the girls want Craig, Craig does not smoke weed, but when he does, he gets cooler!, Craig saves the day by punching Deebo and making the neighborhood safer --, but somehow charming in its LA's sit-back, lazy setting for a true sit-back, lazy hood comedy. Whenever Chris Tucker is on screen, it gets better with his physical comedy and his wacky way of talking.
1	suman.austin	72 _37th
One of the best stoner movie which not just stoned people like. A hillarious comedy with one of Chris Tuckers best performance and undoubtedly Ice Cubes best peformance. You can watch it if you ain't got shit to do!
1	Judo Koala	77 _64th
What I really love about 'Friday' is that, behind all the weed and poop jokes (which, admittedly, make me laugh, as juvenile as they might be at times), it has some serious heart and soul at its core in depicting the power and importance of community and family. It's a film that goes from Feel Good to Feel Great, and for that it means a whole lot more to me than I ever expected.
1	snaYkeY	79 _60th
I know you don't smoke weed, I know this; but I'm gonna get you high today, 'cause it's Friday; you ain't got no job... and you ain't got shit to do.
1	BionicNinjas	80 _65th
A great way for white suburban college kids to feel like they have something in common with the black LA community while getting high in their dorm rooms. Or maybe that was just me.
1	timmytom	76 _66th
Pretty funny.
1	dmarques	68 _38th
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYUM
1	Darren	70 _54th
Ending is a little over the top for me but for most of the movie Ice Cube and Tucker in particular kill it in this. Honestly would just watch a two hour movie of them fucking around on their block.
1	stevekimes	83 _63rd
Laid back comedy that works.
1	magdabag	83 _51st
Watched it on a monday...still loved it.
1	Yiannos	50 _26th
Standards for 'hood comedies' are so low that this modest film is now considered a 'classic' of its genre. Its main selling point in the mid 90's was its novelty, which has since been eroded by two sequels and numerous copycats. It's sporadically funny, mostly due to the efforts of Witherspoon, whose role as Cube's dog catching father should have been expanded, and Tucker, in his film debut, whose motormouthed stylings steals the show. Cube/Pooh's script is mediocre, and Cube can't act.
1	Boxcars	8 _71st
Straight up hilarious while also having its moments of successful drama, "Friday" is a classic window into an average day of its memorable ensemble of characters.
1	Ajayw	80 _80th
Tucker and Witherspoon are at their best. There are also some funny bit parts, including Bernie Mac, that are hilarious. Instant classic.
1	HeyNiceFilm	75 _36th
Not much in terms of plot, acting, or directing. Yet, it has some kind of 'hood charm' which makes it a passable film. Was awesome when I was 16 tho.
