My expectations were significantly lowered after the inexcusable Next Friday enabling me to enjoy Friday After Next, at least on a kick-back-and-get-all-duh level.
This particular Friday falls close to Christmas. Like the second film, FAN throws a bunch of crap together against the wall in a doomed attempt to tell an amusing, cohesive story. Craig and Jar Jar, excuse me, Day-Day get jobs as security guards and stumble through another unpredictable Friday with hilarious, excuse me, uneven results. The main focus of the film is the search for a Christmas burglar dressed in a Santa suit. The other distractions consist of Pop’s recently opened barbecue restaurant that boasts “ribs so good, make you wanna slap your mama” (hilarious), an angry landlord Ms. Perly demanding her money (unfunny), and her recently released prisoner son fighting his urge to rape (downright disturbing). There’s also a big party but I’m not sure why.
The one other thing I’d like to complain about is the way Day-Day spends the movie on an obnoxious rent-a-cop power trip. It’s similar to the Simpsons when Homer decides to become a truck driver or an astronaut for an episode only this is a feature length movie and Day-Day ain't no Homer J Simpson.
Yet another gross insult to the pot smokers of the world but it does have its moments.

These Friday sequels are so bad and forgettable that I can't recall if I've seen this one or not. I feel like I did, but then again I can't remember what I was wearing yesterday. This is similar to Ice Cube's Barbershop movies. The first one was funny, the second one was awful, and the spin-off, Beauty Shop, was unwatchable. Thanks for taking one for the team, JSP. Unless you have any more reviews up your sleeve I believe that AC won Stonerthon 2008, congrats, AC, your mom must be so proud =)
yay johnny! amazing persistence. your ability to watch "fan" after having suffered through "nf" is one of the many reasons i will never ever win horrorthon.
that said, anyone have more movie posts? i need to get my stonerthon 2008 tee shirt made, but i don't wanna jump the gun. the front would say "stonerthon 2008" and the back would have a certain quotation from H &K 2 that is far too vulgar to put on the blog.
Well now you have to post it, AC.
heh heh. you got me, dcd! i can only hope no one ever reads this:
NPH, addressing voluptuous prostitute tits hemingway: "I'm going to rock out with my cock out, and you're going to jam out with your clam out."
best line ever! but where will i be able to wear my tee shirt?
Yeah, pretty much nowhere. But that is a great line.
Maybe I just need to watch H&K with people, and actually stoned. Maybe then I would have liked it more.
