Friday (DVD)

Any film that makes me want to sit and watch it again has to be good in my eyes. I am not a great comedy film watcher, but this is one of my all time great comedy films. Stars Ice Cube, who not only makes rap tunes but has starred in other good films too such as his recent film, Three Kings. Playing along side him is Chris Tucker, a brilliant actor when it comes to comedy's, and he has also appeared in the Fifth Element. Ice plays 'Craig' who has ...
...dealing, weed smoking layabout. The film revolves around the two sitting on Craig's front porch smoking weed (marijuana) all day on a Friday. The weed they are smoking is not paid for, and the drug baron it belongs to, a big black guy named 'Worm', soon comes looking for his money. Worm looks like he has stepped out of the 70's, sporting an afro hairstyle and also drives around in an ice-cream van. When he finds out that Smokey doesn't have his money, ...

...- Pastor Clever ===Story:=== Friday is set in a Los Angeles hood and is a comedic day in the life look at the goings on of two black youths just trying to chill and pass the day but they soon find out a lot can go down in the hood between Thursday and Saturday. Smokey is your average small time weed dealer smoking up his profits & falling behind with payments whilst Craig is the more sensible of the two and is working in a box factory in town with ...
...used my favourite track from friday would probably be Dr. Dre - Keep The Heads Bringin' although all tracks chosen were great. There are no real special effects to speak of in this film but some good camera techniques were employed to imitate the feeling of being stoned. I found the plot in this film really good as it keeps switching and changing and your never quite sure what to expect next especially where Chris tucker's character is concerned ...

Review of Friday (DVD)

Initially this film may appear it will appeal only to hip hop fans, don't be fooled. The basic story is that Craig (Ice Cube) loses his job, on his day off!!, and the film covers the next day, Friday, including the various events that occur. As well as Ice Cube's superb performance Smokey (Chris Tucker) wins over the audience straight away with his quirky but highly amusing personality. After viewing this film one will find that you quote quite ...
...do seem so cool to use! yes they are! The soundtrack to this film is very good (I own the CD) with hip hop, r&b, soul, and a cool remix of 'I heard it on the grapevine'. Despite this film not having a large budget I believe this has helped to 'keep it real'! Although the whole film is based around one street it does not get boring due to the wide range of characters from Craig's dad ("don't go in there for 35-45 minutes") to Deebo (the street bully). ...

Review of Friday (DVD)

This film is, hands down my favourite comedy of all time. I love the characters, I love the story line, all of the jokes were original and funny. I didnt have the trouble that some others did with the black lingo, being black american myself, and let me just say that if you did understand it all, you would have laughed twice as hard. The story line isnt anything that would get rave reviews, its a basic story about two friends getting high, and then ...
...way there are some absolutely pant wetting gags, lots of weed smoking, and general funny interaction. I loved the way in which the film was made, the camera angles are really clever, and the soundtrack is one of my favourites. The characters are very believeable and unique. By far my favourite was the main character (craig's) father. He remided me so much of my own father and does come out with some classic lines. For example i know this probably ...

A superb film written, produced and directed by, and starring, ICE CUBE. Fantastic storyline set in South Central Los Angeles. The two main characters are Craig (Ice Cube) and Smokey. The story focuses around Craig's trouble with work and his suspicious psycho girlfriend, as well as Smokey's problem with drug dealers. Smokey smokes all the weed he is supposed to be selling and when Craig gets involved, they are both threatened with death. They need ...
...nightfall. This is a very funny film showing very realistically their lives in the ghetto of LA. Funny jokes about weed and also some rather sickening scenes of Craig's dad on the toilet! Wicked soundtrack features Ice Cube, Cypress Hill , Dr Dre and more. If you have seen Boyz 'n' the Hood or Menace 2 Society and enjoyed them, you will certainly like this film. Certainly I would recommend this for anyone in their mid-teens to mid-20s. ...

The main plot is that the main guy spends a day with his mate who ...
