Mike Epps has come to a lot of people’s attention over this weekend thanks to his Under Rated… Never Faded & X-Rated stand-up special on Comedy Central. But while he’s good in that, his performance in Next Friday is better.
This scene in particular is genius, showing Epps’ character Day-Day ranting at a stolid Ice Cube about his pregnant girlfriend and her sister Baby D, who isn’t to be messed with.
Next Friday may not be considered as classic as the original Friday film but it’s sure as hell funnier. And Friday After Next is probably even funnier, although it’s also a little more mainstream than the previous two.
Mike Epps is just one of the many comedians to make the move into movies, and he’s had roles in some good films. But for me this video shows his finest hour so far.
