Description of Friday (New Line Platinum Series):
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 (New Line Platinum Series) Reviews:
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!
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.
Hilarious movie. Butchered Blu-Ray. 
2009-09-07 - WARNING!!!
This is without a doubt the best comedy I have ever seen. Simply brilliant. The dvd is worth 5+ stars easy.
HOWEVER!!!
This Blu-Ray transfer has an INSANE AMOUNT OF CONTRAST making all the colors scream. It looks so bad I thought I'd cry when I first saw it.
BUY THE DVD NOT THE BLURAY.
Friday
2009-08-04 - This is a movie worth watching from time and time again. This is a comedy about Ice Cube and Chris Tucker getting into trouble in their little adventures. This movie is a classic.
