Harlem Nights with the 1 point lead

Harlem Knights despite all the all time great Comedians wasn't that funny. Friday beats it for me.

I was very disappointed by how unfunny that movie was, when you consider the amount of comedy legends in it. In fact for a long time i wasn't even sure it was even supposed to be a comedy until coli brehs starting hyping it up as a funny movie.

They played it straight mostly

It's the movie Life with less intentional comedy

I think Harlem Nights was originally considered a failure both commercially and critically but ppl later grew to appreciate it and it became a cult classic later on


Friday was celebrated from the jump

Harlem Nights imo wasn't trying to be funny most of the movie.

It definitely had its moments where the aim was 2 make you laugh and when it tried it did.

That's totally different than a movie that's constantly trying to get a laugh outcha, but it keeps failing.

Friday is funnier

But I think the Harlem Nights shootout scene is funnier than anything in either movie.

It's one thing to like Friday more, but y'all in here talking about Harlem nights is unfunny???

Della Reese might be the funniest person in both movies.
Every scene with her is pure top tier laughs
Her and Fred back and forth>>>

Didn't Harlem nights have behind the scenes issues/Eddie wasn't really feeling the vibe of the film?

It's not supposed to be a comedy

Her and Red Foxx were the funniest in the movie to me. I voted Friday cause overall it's more of a straightforward comedy while Harlem Nights is more of a serious movie that just captures some naturally funny people being funny.
