Decent enough to watch but a step down from the original. Some of the new characters just aren't as good, would of been better if they had kept in same neighborhood.

It's okay sequel
Rancho Cucomonga
The film gives a quick background of the first one. Deebo has escaped prison and is coming after Ice Cube who lives with his rich uncle and cousin who are going broke. He need money for taxes ASAP and look to robbing the Mexican dealers next door.
The film lost some members of the original cast and was replace with toilet humor. The production lost a step as does many sequels.
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
Funny, but
Next Friday has many laughs to go around ,but I felt something was missing in this film. I know what is missing of course, Chris Tucker. The young man who made his breakthrough performance as a pot-head who hung out with Craig Jones (Ice Cube) on a memorable day (and film) between Thursday and Saturday. Now though, the sequel revolves around Craig's family instead of his neighborhood as the first Friday did. I think wrier/producer/star Cube decided to do that to add a little kick to the Friday saga, and it does. But without Tucker it's a kick from a baby. Still, the movie isn't the worst ever, it has many laughs from it's supporting characters (John Witherspoon, Mike Epps, Don Curry) who play Craig's odd family. Cool, hip, and not quite fine. A-
