Damnnnnnnnn! You got knocked the fuck out man! Everyone should know this movie. If you've never seen it then your missing out. ...
<em>'Friday'</em> is decently amusing viewing. The only thing I knew coming into it was the leads and their much used 'damn'; always fun to seeing memes in their original form, I was waiting for it to show up. Ice Cube and Chris Tucker are a well chosen pairing here. The rest of the cast are note ... worthy, a fair number of known faces. Nia Long, Regina King and Bernie Mac being the biggest that I recognised, John Witherspoon and Faizon Love are in there too. The plot could've done with a few more layers of interest, though the end is good.
