Finds Craig (Ice Cube) and Day-Day (Mike Epps) back in the old neighborhood where it all began. It's Christmastime and a ghetto Santa Claus breaks into their run-down apartment, stealing all their presents, along with anything else he can stuff into his sack, including the rent money hidden in their stereo speakers. Their only hope to not get evicted before Christmas is to take jobs as security guards at a local mall, where they learn some comic lessons about the true meaning of the holidays.

It's become abundantly clear that series star/writer/producer Ice Cube hasn't a clue as to why the first Friday became such a beloved cult classic in the first place. Go to Full Review Mark Halverson Sacramento News & Review 08/07/2008

Can't name a better one :) See more TROYS S Jun 7 The soundtrack was a step down from the previous films. The storyline was flimsy but the last 15-20 minutes were fun and the various Santa beatdowns were great. See more Rehan May 24 Absolute banger of a movie... See more Dan L Mar 10 Most of these so-called movie critics, lack a sense of humor. Great movie See more r96 s Mar 6 'Friday After Next' is on the same level as the other sequel, so that's a good thing if you enjoyed this trilogy's previous entry. I didn't, so naturally didn't like this one either. In my opinion, this is a slight drop-off from last time out but for all intents and purposes it is just as boring. Ice Cube and Mike Epps are as before, the same can be said for John Witherspoon and Don Curry. Terry Crews and Katt Williams are newcomers so at least add a minimal amount of freshness, those two are responsible for any minor chuckles that occur; possibly Bebe Drake too. Sounds like a new entry, seemingly titled 'Last Friday', will be happening at some point in the future. Unless Chris Tucker returns, is it really worth it? There probably is an audience for it, in fairness. See more Read all reviews
