Friday (1995)

"Two homies, Smokey and Craig, smoke a dope dealer's weed and try to figure a way to get the $200 they owe to the dealer by ten p.m. that same night. In that time, they smoke more weed and get jacked and shot at in a drive-by." that's the summary of the movie depending to IMDb and to be honest? not much more to talk about. the entire movie is about two homies smoking dope and chatting and that's basically it، not much comedy nor much drama, of you'd ask me this movie is so terrible that i keep asking myself how in God's name did i watch the entire thing?. at the beginning of the movie Smokey's voice over is talking about something that changed the neighborhood for ever and what was it? a drive-by shooting? or two guys smoking dope? or is it a big dude being beaten up? nothing really surprising happened for the entire 1h 31min's that i watched this movie except of Pepsi spilling on my shirt.

I like this movie. The screenplay is excellent. The protagonists are strong with clear desires and obstacles to overcome. This allowed the rest of the cast to bounce off of them and shine. The addition of the ticking clock I thought was a wonderful idea that added tension to story. The humor in this film was achieved through conflict and not stereotypes which at times seems to be a favorite ploy of urban films. Many black movies are didactic but this film stayed clear of that and focused on entertaining the audience. This film's appeal is simply that the filmmakers told a great story cinematically. This film shows that a great screenplay is the beginning of a great movie be it an urban theme or not.

It's really interesting how this movie got away with setting up the plot to having two guys and the everyday life in the hood but from a comedy point of view.The main plot center around Smokey (Chris Tucker) and Craig Jones (Ice Cube) while dealing with the hood bully Deebo (Tommy 'Tiny' Lister) also end up having to own up a debt to a drug dealer. Other characters include Mr. Jones (John Witherspoon) and Mrs.Jones (Anna Maria Horsford) Debbie (Nia Long), Red (DJ Pooh), Ezal (Anthony Johnson) and many more who serve in their own way important to the plotDirector F.Gary Gary did a good job with the direction of the filmFriday features some pretty good character connections such as with Craig and his father which is one of my favorite things about this film because it shows how well the characters can be. Smokey does what he does best. Some of the most creative comedy can be seen in this film and of course has it famous line that made the film a hitOverall this is a pretty good movie and interesting to see. The Characters make the film work along with the comedy being the focus of the film I give Friday an 8 out of 10

This movie is fricken hilarious! I love chris tucker his expressions and acting is 10/10 including icecube and the rest of the actors! What I lived is the story line and how it's so original!
