    Funny Movie

    by 619boy531

    This is the best Friday in the trilogy. It has the perfect cast Ice Cube & Chris Tucker. This movie had lots of laughs. This is another of my favorite movies. If you haven't seen this, then get you a$$ up & go out & buy it. Not rent, Buy it. You won't regret it. And check out Next Friday & Friday After Next.
