Friday is a 1995 American stoner comedy film directed by F. Gary Gray and written by Ice Cube and DJ Pooh. The film follows Craig Jones (Ice Cube) and Smokey (Chris Tucker), two friends who spend their day smoking weed on a porch in South Central Los Angeles. The film also stars Nia Long, Regina King, Anna Maria Horsford, and John Witherspoon.
The film was a box office success, grossing $28 million on a $3.5 million budget. It received positive reviews from critics, who praised its humor and portrayal of urban African-American life. The film has since gained a cult following and is considered a classic in the stoner comedy genre.
Friday was followed by two sequels: Next Friday in 2000 and Friday After Next in 2002, both of which also starred Ice Cube and Mike Epps. A fourth film, titled Last Friday, has been in development for several years but has yet to be officially confirmed.

Undoubtfully, cinematography has been my passion since a very young age. Even now, watching a new movie or series always prompts me to ask a lot of questions to the author. Thus, every little essay about a title is definitely not a spoiler, but rather an attempt to explore the idea.
