"A high-energy comedy..." The New York Times
Editor's Note
Thoroughly charming and totally hilarious day-in-the-life comedy in which co-writer Ice Cube plays the stoic Craig opposite Chris Tucker's Smokey, a brilliantly rendered hyperactive marijuana enthusiast. The two twentysomethings, Craig recently wrongly fired and Smokey terminally slacking and scamming, barely make it through one highly eventful day. Eloquent commentary on themes like community, family, friendship, and violence is seamlessly blended with lighter treatments of young romance, bathroom emergencies, nosy neighbors and much more. Casually impeccable performances by the entire cast make this film a standout.

Friday, a comedy starring Ice Cube and Chris Tucker, is dirty, offensive, infantile and may launch a few sanctimonious opinion columns. And I mean that in the nicest way. The movie, which shamelessly hawks its own Friday music video at the beginning and eschews political correctness whenever possible, happens to be incredibly funny. - Desson Howe
San Francisco Chronicle 6 of 10
Friday is an urban comedy from the pen of rapper Ice Cube. It is directed by Gary Gray, who has directed videos for Cube as well as other rap stars. Writer and director are both only 25 years old -- and provide another example of why it's best to beware of young men with movie cameras. - Mick LaSalle
