Next Friday

2000 · 98 min

A loose, silly hangout comedy full of weed jokes and slapstick, easy to watch with friends and laugh at the absurdity.

Tagline: The suburbs make the hood look good.
Overview: A streetwise man flees South Central Los Angeles heading to the suburbs and his lottery-winner uncle and cousin to avoid a neighborhood thug with a grudge who has just escaped from prison. But trouble soon follows and the suburbs will never be the same.
