This is a great comedy that you can watch again and again, always make me laugh, great all the way through, nice chill out movie. Chris Tucker and Ice Cube are the perfect pair in this movie.

Very good comedy, it's one of the best comedies of the 90's. Chris Tucker is the guy with all the memorable lines, and he does a great job. Ice Cube does a very good job as well, it's a real shame that his career has gone down the wrong track after this movie. Tiny Lister is a scary guy, I know I was frightened by him, and that's him on a screen, not in front of me. 10/10.

"Friday" was one of the classic comedies of the 1990s and it is truly underrated. Every time I see this movie on television, I still laugh at every single joke even though I know what's coming. The script is sharp and the acting is great!

I think that this movie was well written and funny, but it was of course missing some important pionts throughout the storyline. I still think that it was something really original and something funny, something that movies don't seem to make very well nowadays, it could have been better, but it was not what I was really expecting, it was way much better...

I can watch this movie over and over and it's still just as funny.

  Friday is funnier and funkier than "Bad Boys," more homegrown-seeming, less manufactured. It plays like "House Party" with attitude. [26 Apr 1995]

  A star vehicle for rapper Ice Cube (who also cowrote and coproduced), Friday is a lighthearted, comedic presentation of the realities chronicled in dramas like "Boyz N the Hood."

  It's the right format for this scattershot jokefest, which at times resembles a vaudeville act crossed with the kind of goofy bludgeoning antics that sometimes make it into gangsta MTV videos. [26 Apr 1995]

  Friday indulges without restraint in almost everything that can raise eyebrows, including the ogling of women (although the females--for a genre like this--are relatively empowered), toilet gags, profane street talk and drug use. But all of these things serve the humor.

  In his [Ice Cube's] dramatic roles, Cube's raised eyebrows usually unleashed a fearsome glare and a hint of danger; here, his expressions are more quizzical, amused or confused. He plays against type, just as the movie itself plays against hype.

  Friday may touch its young target audience. For everyone else, it is more intriguing as a social problem than a movie.

  The more real Friday gets, the better it is. [26 Apr 1995]

  A refreshingly lighthearted look at day-to-day life in the inner city, Friday does suffer from a few problems in the scripting and directing departments, but entertains nonetheless, thanks mainly to the easygoing style of its talented cast.

  Rather like a cross between "Up in Smoke" and an episode of "The Jeffersons, Friday is a crudely made, sometimes funny bit of porchfront humor from the 'hood.

  It takes about 20 minutes to catch on that Friday is without narrative drive - and about as long to figure out that the film offers nothing better in place of it.
