San Francisco Chronicle (Mick LaSalle)
Film Quips Online (John R. McEwen)
Virtually nothing memorable happens in Next Friday, but it will afford its market (mainly black teens) a mindless romp through homeboy comedy, a rap soundtrack, and a break from the doldrums of early-year film releases. ...read the complete Next Friday movie review at Film Quips Online (John R.

Vulgar, stupid and un-PC as it may be, this sequel to 1995's surprise hit Friday is also sporadically funny... occasionally very funny. ...read the complete Next Friday movie review at TV Guide's Movie Guide (Maitland McDonagh)

Edward Johnson-Ott
Kurt Vonnegut acknowledged one of the great truths about life in his 1985 novel, "Galapagos." The narrator of the tale is from 1,000,000 years in the future, when mankind has evolved into beings that bear scant resemblance to presentday humans. Still, ...read the complete Next Friday movie review at Edward Johnson-Ott
The Cincinnati Enquirer (Margaret A. McGurk)
The original Friday scored a surprise hit by making sport of the inner-city society treated so grimly in ghetto dramas like Boyz in the Hood.
The sequel Next Friday moves the action to the suburbs, which provides a new setting, though not much new ...read the complete Next Friday movie review at The Cincinnati Enquirer (Margaret A. McGurk)

Craig (Ice Cube) versteckt sich bei seinem reich gewordenen Onkel Elroy vor zwei entflohenen Häftlingen aus dem Vorgängerfilm "Friday". Da hat man erst einmal viel Spaß mit depperten Typen, die es bislang scheinbar nur im deutschen Blödelfilm gab. ...read the complete Next Friday movie review at FILMtabs

Back in 1995, a promising young director (F. Gary Gray), a promising young comic (Chris Tucker), and an established music star-cum-promising actor (Ice Cube) came together to make the insubstantial but funny comedy Friday. Co-written by Cube, the inner ...read the complete Next Friday movie review at Reel.com

A stupid, petulant exercise in racism and misogyny. ...read the complete Next Friday movie review at Greenwich Village Gazette (Eric Lurio)
filmcritic.com (Max Messier)
I usually don’t like sequels. The mind-numbing rehash of characters; the bad puns that related to subject matter from the original film; the vain attempt at trying to create something “new and fresh” that turns into an overstuffed ...read the complete Next Friday movie review at filmcritic.com (Max Messier)

Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice
For those who enjoyed Friday, this sequel lights up more of the same crass, hood-in-cheek humor. Rapper Ice Cube again does the script writing duties and stars as Craig Jones, the unemployed South Central homeboy who passes time chillin' and smoking ...read the complete Next Friday movie review at Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice
Michael Dequina
For _Next_Friday_, Cube (now writing solo) and director Steve Carr decide to compensate for Tucker's absence (for the record, Smokey is mentioned as being in drug rehab) by creating some manic energy of their own in the script department. ...read the complete Next Friday movie review at Michael Dequina

The real problem with Next Friday is that the whole movie is so ineptly written and directed that its 90 minutes seem to take twice as long. ...read the complete Next Friday movie review at New York Post (Jonathan Foreman)

Laramie Movie Scope (Robert Roten)
The raunchy, offensive humor is bolstered by plenty of slapstick comedy and the occasional funny line of dialogue, but those lines are few and far between. I had a similar problem with this film that I did with the "South Park" movie. I just couldn't ...read the complete Next Friday movie review at Laramie Movie Scope (Robert Roten)

The Land of Eric (Eric D. Snider)
I'll give the film this: Except for the drug use, it's relatively harmless. The sexism, racism and rampant violence you usually find in movies about the 'hood are not here; the filmmakers, while crude and foul-mouthed, at least don't seem to have had ...read the complete Next Friday movie review at The Land of Eric (Eric D. Snider)
The Movie Mom (Nell Minow)
On the one hand, this movie is a lazy, dumb, and misogynistic and it promotes pot smoking, unemployment, and burglary. On the other hand, it is genial and unpretentious. If it does not take drug use, crime, racism, and sexism too seriously, it does not ...read the complete Next Friday movie review at The Movie Mom (Nell Minow)
Movies for Guys
This movie isn't so bad that it would inspire me to use violence to avoid watching it again, but rest assured I'll never do it voluntarily. My advice is to skip this one. ...read the complete Next Friday movie review at Movies for Guys

Film Threat (--)
Steve Rhodes
The plot is well hidden, not that you'll care. The movie relies on gross humor with the film's ongoing joke revolving around the stench from Craig's father, Mr. Jones (John Witherspoon). In the opening sequence, a tiny dog has a worldclass bowel movement. ...read the complete Next Friday movie review at Steve Rhodes
Dustin Putman
If anyone should have the blame put on them, it should be Ice Cube himself, since it was he and some writing genius by the sophisticated name of D.J. Pooh, who penned the maddeningly stupid, dull, and completely unfunny screenplay. The fact that there ...read the complete Next Friday movie review at Dustin Putman
