Review of Friday

Friday (1995)
7/10
fun ghetto life
2 September 2015
It's Friday. Craig Jones (Ice Cube) loses his job and living with his family. His dad (John Witherspoon) wants him to join him as a dogcatcher. He can't stand his jealous girlfriend Joi and is interested in sweet Debbie (Nia Long). His best friend Smokey (Chris Tucker) smokes weed and sells for supplier Big Worm (Faizon Love). Big Worm wants his $200 and threatens to kill both Craig and Smokey. Deebo is the giant bully of the neighborhood.

This is a fun slice of ghetto life. It's a cross of ridiculous and hard. The movie is a fun watch with Tucker joking around. Then the movie takes another step up. When Craig's father catches him with a gun, he tells him that his fists are all he ever needs. That's a big scene. It's also surprising since the father is played as a joke at the beginning. That scene makes this a better movie than a simple weed comedy.
