If Next Friday wasn't a sequel do you think it would be held in higher regard?

Whether it would of or not dont matter cuz movie got mad quotables for days

 

[boskey]

Probably not. Some people claim its not a good movie, but its still full of quotes and scenes that many people consider to be classic. And Mike Epps and Michael Blackson have been working for 20 years off the strength of it. Doubt that would be the case if it wasn't a Friday sequel...

Popular consensus be damned, I love that movie.

 

[Shorty K]

Next Friday was just as good as the original Friday to me.

 

[bigrodthe1]

I just watched it recently and I realized that the first act was pretty weak. It didn't get good until Craig got to Uncle Elroy's house

I saw it in 2000 on video, before I graduated 8th grade, so we all kind of loved it. It isn't the same type of movie, Friday is more grounded in reality, and Next Friday, probably due to the studio's influence, and F Gary Gray's absence, is more of a screwball type of comedy. It has some funny moments, but the caricatures are more exaggerated, less realistic portrayals, honestly the comedy is more based on a white persons view, in my opinion. It is still a sort of childhood classic, that I'll watch when it comes on. Friday is a real movie, and this is big studio effort to cash in.

Next Friday was just as good as the original Friday to me.

 

[OJ Simpsom]

Nope. It would be All About The Benjamins status if it wasn't tied to the Friday series.

 

[karim]

No. It's not a good movie. Entertaining, but still the typical unnecessary sequel. If it wasn't a sequel, nobody would even remember it came out.

 

[obarth]

I think it's held in appropriate regard. Many consider it a classic black comedy movie. You could ask if it would be as popular if not for Friday as well. Does Next Friday, on it's own, spawn multiple sequels?

 

[TAYLONDO SAMSWORTHY]

Next Friday is one the GOAT sequels.

Friday after next was the clown of the series

 

[Doomsday]

It was about as good as you could expect from a sequel. It was decent, 4 mics but not 5.

 

[MJ Truth]

Both Next Friday and Friday After Next have quotables for days and characters to rival the OG Friday.

The OG Friday has the best story though.
