A sequel to the really rather good
Friday (1995) that's nowhere near as good. It takes Craig (
Ice Cube) out of South Central, 'Fresh Princing' him to the California suburbs, perhaps in the hope that removing the character from a setting that was complementary and placing him into one that isn't will engender not just comedy but sympathy. Unfortunately, it doesn't.
It adds some Chicano neighbours for him to tussle with, most of whom are played too heavily for laughs. Also, Deebo (
Tommy Lister) has unfinished business, so he's shoehorned into the plot, too. The script certainly wasn't
Ice Cube expressin' with his full capabilities.
