Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: All this South Central color gives Friday After Next a lived-in feel that endears you to the characters and the way they live. Read more
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: Cube and Epps play off each other well, but the comedy's success lies mostly in its talented stable of supporting actors. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: The movie often feels as if it were just marking time, counting on your memory of the first two films to make you laugh at characters who seemed much funnier, and less belabored, seven years ago. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: This is a terrible movie, one of the worst comedies of the year. Read more
Susan Stark, Detroit News: A raucous, riotous, blisteringly obscene comedy. Read more
Elvis Mitchell, New York Times: Cranks up an impressive amount of energy considering that it's the third installment. Read more
Ted Fry, Seattle Times: Friday movies are a lot like an African-American version of Seinfeld; they're really about nothing. And if you can appreciate the cultural dislocation of their urban California milieu, same as Seinfeld, they can be funny as hell. Read more
Bob Longino, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Just for fun -- a break from shopping, tree trimming, cooking, cleaning, wrapping and all the rest. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: The constant flow of calamities spotlights a lot of talented and funny people under music video veteran Marcus Raboy's buoyant, good-natured direction. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Friday After Next has the same problem that Next Friday did -- it's called Where's Chris Tucker When You Need Him? Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: I didn't laugh at the ongoing efforts of Cube, and his skinny buddy Mike Epps, to make like Laurel and Hardy 'n the hood. Read more
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News: Humor doesn't get much broader or thinner than this. Read more
Ernest Hardy, L.A. Weekly: Loud, chaotic and largely unfunny. Read more
Kevin M. Williams, Chicago Tribune: Hews to the Sequel Curve (first one good, the rest increasingly mediocre). Read more
Gene Seymour, Newsday: Leisurely, waxy potpourri of messy sight gags, coarse sex jokes and all-pro bad behavior. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: There's an audience for it, but it could have been funnier and more innocent. Read more
Jonathan Curiel, San Francisco Chronicle: The jokes are sophomoric, stereotypes are sprinkled everywhere and the acting ranges from bad to bodacious. Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: You'd have to be applying pretty loose critical standards to describe Friday After Next ... as a good movie, but in the coming weeks it may certainly prove a useful one. Read more
Robert Koehler, Variety: This is surely one of the most frantic, virulent and foul-natured Christmas season pics ever delivered by a Hollywood studio. Read more
Edward Crouse, Village Voice: A manically generous Christmas vaudeville. Read more
