What Parents Need to Know

About Friday After Next

Parents need to know that this movie has extremely strong language, including the "N" word. If the movie had been made by Caucasians, it would have been justifiably excoriated for its offensive racial stereotypes. It is racist, sexist, homophobic, and extremely vulgar. In the mall, there is a clothing store called "Pimp's and Ho's." Everyone loves smoking pot, even the police. Everyone lies, cheats, and steals. A character has a threesome. There are nasty jokes about homosexual rape.

    I rate this title off for age 17 and give it 2.0

    This movie is not recommended for children. There are multiple scenes with heavy drug use, sexually implied jokes, and racial stereotypes. The movie is focused around drug dealers and users, along with theft and illegal money. However, as a mature viewer, I did find it comical at times and inoffensively entertaining.
