Lawrence Van Gelder New York Times (Top Critic)

Notable chiefly for feeding a stereotype of blacks as shiftless layabouts interested mainly in recreational drugs and irresponsible sex.

Most of the humor is about as fresh as the air left behind whenever Witherspoon uses a toilet.

One measure of its desperation and lack of respect for its audience is the frequency with which it labors to wring humor from flatulence and excrement gags.

The real problem with Next Friday is that the whole movie is so ineptly written and directed that its 90 minutes seem to take twice as long.

Roger Moore Orlando Sentinel (Top Critic)

Cube walks through this picture in an unconnected, unfunny daze, torching what is obviously a great talent in pursuit of cheap laughs and big box office.

Lazy, dumb, and misogynistic.

[Cube abandons] the heavy-on-dialogue rhythm in favor of needless subplots rife with hijinks.

If your idea of comedy is falling in doggie-doo or watching guys get stoned and foolish, you'll have a ball.

If there were any justice, Next Friday would be the last Friday. Somehow, I fear the first weekend grosses will make that unlikely.

A heaping piece of rancid garbage.

Philip Booth Orlando Weekly

An altered state on the part of a viewer is about the only way for this film to be considered the laugh riot of the year.

Sue Pierman Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

About as deep as an empty wading pool.

Mike Epps makes his motion picture acting debut with Next Friday. By next Monday, he could be a star.

Chris Hewitt (St. Paul) St. Paul Pioneer Press

Most of the characters are so foolish and short-sighted that they can't see beyond the last puff of the fattie they're smoking.
