Written by Ice Cube and directed by Marcus Raboy, the third Friday movie again was rejected by critics and embraced by the audience that it was made for. It starts on Christmas Eve as a thief breaks into the home of Craig (Cube) and Day-Day (Mike Epps), stealing everything they've bought for their family and friends. Also - the rent is due and if they don't get it soon, their landlady is going to unleash her just released from jail son Damon (Terry Crews) on them and in a violently loving fashion, if you get what I'm saying.
The setting in this sequel moves from the suburbs to a strip mall, a place where their fathers - Willie (John Witherspoon) and Elroy (Don D. C. Curry) - have started a BBQ place so good you'll slap your mother. It's also where Money Mike (Katt Williams) and his main girl Donna (K. D. Aubert) have started the store Pimps and Hoes.
Obviously, by the third movie you're just hoping for more hangout time with the leads and less expecting a groundbreaking effort. That said, this is a goofball bit of harmless fun, a good holiday movie to throw on if you're sick of the same films every December and makes me hope that we get one more of these movies.
Somehow, I never saw a single one of these movies before, but I must confess, they made a nice break this week, a breezy bit of fun and light laughs in the midst of dark times.
