Dies und das:

'Chris Tucker' did not reprise his role of Smokey from the original film because he'd become a born again Christian after filming Money Talks (1997) and chose to do the Rush Hour series instead. He is referenced to throughout the film and explains the absence of the Smokey character.

Pannen:

Day-Day: Yo, Pops, I didn't know you had some bitties?

Delivers another good batch of laughs

This sequel doesn't work quite as effectively as the original--Of course, we don't have Smokey this time around--but I laughed a lot. Watching it a second time around, I found it pretty dull, but the first time I liked it. Mike Epps is very funny as Cube's cousin. John Witherspoon also provides some good supporting laughs. And I liked the uncle--I'm not sure what his name is, but I've seen him before. The jokes get repetitive at times, sometimes lame, sometimes just all-out crude, but they're often effective. Cube is a good writer, and he came up with such original lines like, "You ever heard of El Nino?" "Yes." "Well, this is El Negro." There were many wacky moments where I laughed hard, like the one with Pinky, the owner of a music store who comes to work in a limo and struts around like a pimp.

"Next Friday" is no "Annie Hall." The comedy falls flat at times and the humor isn't exactly classy, but I got enough laughs to recommend it. It's better than a lot of sequels I've seen.
