Friday has energy, and sass, and the nerve to suggest that the line between tragedy and comedy may be in the bloodshot eye of the beholder.

Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
A crudely made, sometimes funny bit of porchfront humor from the 'hood.
This is a ruder, cruder version of the hip-hop movie House Party, and it offers a fascinating glimpse at the way street life enters pop culture.
Cube is amusing, though he's really playing straight man to Tucker's frenetic and energized Smokey.
Dirty, offensive, infantile and may launch a few sanctimonious opinion columns. And I mean that in the nicest way.
