Friday is about a recently fired dude named Craig (Ice Cube, let’s not get into him for now), who lives in Compton with his parents. His best friend, Smokey, in a truly amazing performance from Chris Tucker, is a pot dealer who works for a dangerous upper-level dealer, Big Worm. Smokey wants to cheer up Craig, so they smoke all of Smokey’s weed, which he’s supposed to sell. Big Worm finds out and the two have till the end of the day to pay him back. It’s fantastic, and Pineapple Express wouldn’t exist without it.
