The movie Friday was one of the best comedies I have ever seen. It had a great director, a talented cast, a good plot, a spectacular soundtrack, and is filled with funny gags and jokes. It was by far the most hilarious movie of the decade. I have never laughed so hard in all of my life. I loved this movie.
The cast of the movie was sensational. Playing the main character was famous musician and actor, Ice Cube. He is such a serious person that at first I was skeptical of his performance in a comedy. He has played in such movies as Dangerous Ground, Higher Learning, and Boyz 'N Tha Hood. Playing opposite of him was Chris Tucker who is one of the most gifted performers that I've have seen. He has stared in hits such as Rush Hour, The Fifth Element, and Money Talks. These two along with other big comics like Bernie Mac, John Whitherspoon, and Fazion Love bring big laughs to the big screen.
Tiny "Zeus" Lester, Nia Long and Regina King do there part as well, to serve up laughs. It is so important to have a good cast that can play their parts well, and get along.

Friday is good, but why?
While I agree with the writer of this essay that Friday is a really funny, and good movie (I would even say that it is culturally important) I don't think that this essay convinces the reader that it is good. S/he talks in very general terms about what is good but doesn't make enough specific references to what happens in the movie and why s/he thinks that's good. Also I don't see how showing the use of weed and alcohol is any more offensive than using "midgets" for shallow comic effects.
p.s. I like Next Friday better.
