Synopsis

Ice Cube and Mike Epps return in FRIDAY AFTER NEXT, the third instalment in the hit FRIDAY film series.

Craig (Ice Cube) and Day- Day (Mike Epps) are back in the old neighbourhood and ready for Christmas. Although they've left behind the security of living with their parents, the rundown Shady Palms apartment they now share is filled with all the accoutrements and spirit of the holiday season. It's a time for giving until Craig wakes up in the middle of the night to discover a ghetto Santa Claus stealing their presents and anything else he can stuff into his sack, including the rent money jammed in their stereo speakers.

Faced with a Christmas without money and their landlady's paroled son making threatening advances to them if the rent isn't paid by Christmas Eve, Craig and Day-Day get jobs as unarmed security guards at the local strip mall where their fathers, Mr Jones (John Witherspoon) and Uncle Elroy Don 'D C' Curry), own Bros Bar-B-Q restaurant.

While Craig manages to handle the chaotic Christmas Eve crush, Day-Day's renegade rent-a-cop tactics put the pair's jobs and lives in danger. With the clock ticking down to another unforgettable Friday, Craig and Day-Day learn some comic lessons about the true meaning of the holiday season.
