Two friends in South Central Los Angeles have one day to pay the local bully the money he’s owed or they’re in trouble. The debut feature of legendary music video director F. Gary Gray, this iconic stoner comedy was cowritten by Ice Cube who stars alongside Chris Tucker."When I was a senior in High School, long before I had an interest in making movies, my friend Sean would bring his copy of FRIDAY to school on a weekly basis and during lunch or after school we would replay specific scenes over and over again. We'd quote them, re-enact them...you couldn't tell us it wasn't the funniest movie of all time. On almost every watch we would discover a new subtle joke. To this day I don't think I've seen a more engaging film where almost nothing really happens." —Shaka KingPost-screening conversation with Shaka King.
Friday is guest presented by Shaka King as part of FLICKER POINTS. It's open to all ages and free for teenagers.
