Description of Friday:
Friday is the rarest specimen of African American cinema: a 'hood movie refreshingly free of the semiseriousness and moralism of shoot 'em up soaps such as Boyz N the Hood, yet still true to the inner-city experience.
Scripted by rapper Ice Cube, Friday is a no-frills tale of a typical day in the life of a pair of African American youth in South Central. Cube plays Craig, a frustrated teen who endures the ultimate humiliation: getting fired on his day off. Then unknown Chris Tucker plays Smokey, a marijuana-worshipping homeboy whose love for the green stuff lands him in predicament after predicament.
Sitting on the stoop of Craig's rundown home, the two hilariously confront a kaleidoscopic array of gangbangers, weed dealers, crack heads, prostitutes, scheming girlfriends, and neighborhood bullies--all of whom, it should be noted, come off as sympathetic even as they are being caricatured, a true achievement in the crass, "booty call" environment of '90s African American comedy. --Ethan Brown
Friday Reviews:
save ur money... 
2009-12-09 - Needless to say this movie is a classic!!! I saw the movie was released on Bluray and bought it spontaneously. The transfer isn't as good as I hoped and I barely consider it an upgrade from the DVD. If you already own the DVD, then I'd recommend just saving your money.
Originl better than Directors Cut
2009-10-26 - The original Friday is a classic. The extra footage and material still bring new laughs to this viewer. Wish they would have added a copy of the original theatre release as well.
One of the best movies ever! 
2009-10-19 - I've owned this movie on VHS, DVD, and now Bluray. It's awesome to see this movie in the Bluray format. Everyone should check it out!
Blu-Ray
2009-10-05 - This Movie is hilarious. Deebo, Big Worm, Craig, Smokey, Mr. Jones, Mrs. Parker, Felisha, Paster Clever played by the late Bernie Mac, crack head Ezal, please don't step on the grass Stanley, and you got Knocked The Fk Out Red.......lmaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Great HD transition / extra scenes and features included
2009-10-03 - This is one of my all time favorite movies from the 90's / high school. I was surprised to see it released on Blu Ray so soon. I had the standard DVD which didnt give it justice in my Blu Ray player. Great picture, great sound. Highly recommend this movie on Blu Ray.
