Films
Friday (1995)
The film takes a look at one single Friday in the life of two friends, Craig Jones (Ice Cube) and Smokey (Chris Tucker), in urban Los Angeles. Craig has recently been fired from his job while attempting to collect his wages, as he was allegedly caught on camera stealing cardboard boxes from UPS, although he claims innocence. Throughout the day, friends and local neighborhood characters pass through, including the hulking neighborhood bully Deebo (Tommy Lister, Jr.). The film's subplot focuses on drug dealer Big Worm (Faizon Love), who warns Craig and Smokey to collect $200 worth of marijuana they smoked (which was supposed to be sold) no later than 10:00 that evening, or he and Craig will be killed.
In the end, Craig manages to overcome all of the day's tribulations, save for finding employment; he and Smokey are able to pay Big Worm, he confronts Deebo and successfully beats him after all of his bullying to everyone else, and he and his pretty neighbor Debbie (Nia Long) hook up.
Next Friday (2000)
Next Friday is a 2000 stoner comedy film, and the sequel to the 1995 film Friday. This is the first film to be produced by producer Ice Cube's film production company Cubevision.

Friday After Next (2002)

Craig is beaten with their Christmas tree by the fake Santa and he escapes. As they report it the police but they don't believe them and take their weed plant. Craig and Day-Day get jobs as rent-a-cops in a strip mall where Willie (John Witherspoon (actor)) and Elroy (Don "D.C." Curry) opened up a rib joint, called "Bros. BBQ" and Elroy got a new girlfriend named Cookie (Sommore) and they have to pay rent to their apartment building's manager, Ms. Pearly (BeBe Drake) who threatens to get her homosexual son, Damon Pearly (Terry Crews) to come after them and may just do something to them. Craig and Day-Day's job is hard, as they were chased by thugs, and arrested their first bad guys and Craig is in love with Donna, who is the girlfriend of a pimp named Money Mike (Katt Williams) who treats her badly and like a slave and Craig and Day-Day throw a rent-a-party to get the money for Ms. Pearly and Pinky (Clifton Powell) who plays the Pimp who's always up adds the comic relief.
