I discovered Friday just a year ago, and since then it's one of my most favorite movies that I rewatched for about 40 times or even more. The most amazing thing about Friday is that everyone was so natural in it, so it doesn't feel like a movie - it's rather a reflection of real life. And it's still wonderful, still hilarious. All the best wishes to everyone who made Friday possible! Love you all! :)

In my opinion "Friday" was one of the funniest movies ever made, Easily one of Ice Cubes best movies. The movie is about a drug dealer (Smokey) that owes his supplier (Big Worm) $200 and drags his unemployed best friend (Craig) into the mix, but the two are impeded by distractions while trying to gather the $200. The movie is where some popular phrases came about, one example being "bye Felicia". It was a great movie and deserved all of the praise it got.

When someone asks me which movie i have seen the most times, i have to answer Friday. I know the movie pretty much verbatim, and have seen it well over 30 times. Chris Tucker is one of the funniest people ever. This is his best performance, followed closely by Rush Hour. There are so many funny moments in this movie it would be impossible to name them all here. My favorites would have to be when Smokey meets his blind date, who turns out to be fat and bald, and the scenes where Deebo confronts Smokey and Craig, played by Ice Cube. The movie has a hilarious supporting cast, including John Witherspoon, Tiny Lister, and Bernie Mac. Critics don't know anything. If you ever have a chance to see this and enjoy urban comedy and Chris Tucker, don't even hesitate to watch. 10/10

It is Friday and Craig Jones (Ice Cube) is unemployed, having, yesterday, been fired. He is lounging around his house with his friend Smokey (Chris Tucker), a rather incompetent weed dealer. Smokey's problem is that he tends to smoke, rather than sell, his product. This has lead to trouble with Smokey's supplier, Big Worm, who now wants his money, or his product back, or Smokey is a dead man. Then there's Deebo, the local bully, plus Craig's jealous, psychotic girlfriend, Joi, and Debbie, the neighbour Craig has a crush on. A lot can happen while lounging around your house on a Friday.Good fun. The first movie written by Ice Cube, of NWA fame, and the first movie directed by F Gary Gray, who would go on to direct Straight Outta Compton, the movie on NWA. Pretty funny, with a nice relaxed sort of feel.Some good themes towards the end, especially the anti-gun violence stance.Solid performances all round. Ice Cube and Chris Tucker make a good combination - Tucker as the over-the-top, extroverted Smokey and Ice Cube as the more straight-playing Craig.
