4/20 Edition - Friday (1995)

One of the good things about growing older is seeing movies that you might have missed the first time around.  On this 20th anniversary of Friday, starring Ice Cube and Chris Tucker, I took that opportunity.  Puff, Puff, Pass.

Styled as a stoner movie cult classic, we have 2 guys sitting on a porch all day one Friday.  "It's Friday, you got no job, and you got nothin' to do".  Thanks to Seinfeld, another day about nothing.  But with a Boyz N The Hood twist (Ice Cube also starred in that).

Set in the South Central 'hood, we have a colorful cast of characters, all shapes and sizes and personalities just passing in front of Craig and Smokey sitting out front.     Ice Cube the writer said he was inspired by people he knew from his old neighborhood.   None more colorful that Craig's dad, the local dog catcher.
