"Friday After Next" takes us to Christmas time in South Central LA with Craig (Ice Cube) and Day-Day (Mike Epps), two cousins who just can't catch a break. Their holiday season kicks off with a bang when a ghetto Santa Claus (Rickey Smiley) raids their apartment, stealing their rent money AND their presents. The boys take jobs as security guards at an urban strip mall to make their rent money back before their landlord's musclebound son Damon (Terry Crews) comes collecting. The most wonderful time of the year turns into a wild adventure in the hood.

Topics discussed:

🎄 It's a Christmas movie

👥 We see an evolution of the dynamic between Craig & Day-Day

😂 There is a shift to a more slapstick style of comedy

3️⃣ This was the last Friday installment for more than two decades – until the fourth movie, which is scheduled for release next year

🕺🏻 The movie helped launch the career of Katt Williams!
