So Craig's dad takes him to Rancho Cucamonga to hide out with his Uncle Elroy and cousin Day-Day, who moved to the suburbs after winning the lottery.

Trivia

'Chris Tucker' did not reprise his role of Smokey from the original film because he'd become a born again Christian after filming Money Talks and chose to do the Rush Hour series instead. He is referenced to throughout the film and explains the absence of the Smokey character.

User Reviews

Hope the crackakillers pay well, or its back to the ghetto you go!

First off: Why is Craig smoking? Why is Craig pimping? Why is Craig beating up Pinky? Where are the good Female Characters? Where is Smokey? Where is F. Gary Gray? Why is Craig's dad poop gag (good in the first one) so played out? Why is Baby D a rip-off of Felicia? Why is day-day's gf a rip-off of Craig's gf in Friday? Why is the soundtrack not as good as the first one? Why, in spite of all this, it's still funny!!!! If you haven't seen/don't like Friday, check it out. It's cliched (fat girl, crazy white guys, crazy mexican guys) but it's pretty good. 7/10
