Critics Consensus: Next Friday lacks the fun of the original Friday. The movie is messy and plotless and relies on unfunny vulgar gags.

Reviews

Cultural Conversation

Tony Black

While outwardly amusing, with plenty of scatological and farcical gags, it is an example of the kind of diminishing sequel that the early 2000's would deliver in spades.

Sadly, Epps's effort to replace Tucker as Cube's sidekick only downgrades the sequel. Otherwise, Next Friday has more of everything -- More importantly, however, Next Friday packs in more gags than the original.

Lazy, dumb, and misogynistic.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that this movie is extremely raunchy and includes just about every kind of material except for graphic violence that parents try to keep away from kids. Parents whose kids do see this movie should at least try to talk with them about the portrayal of women (either sexual predators, compliant bimbos or terrifying harridans) and minorities and drugs as a way to bond and to escape worries.
