Thoroughly charming and totally hilarious day-in-the-life comedy in which co-writer Ice Cube
plays the stoic Craig opposite Chris Tucker's Smokey, a brilliantly rendered hyperactive marijuana
enthusiast. The two twentysomethings, Craig recently wrongly fired and Smokey terminally
slacking and scamming, barely make it through one highly eventful day. Eloquent commentary on
themes like community, family, friendship, and violence is seamlessly blended with lighter
treatments of young romance, bathroom emergencies, nosy neighbors and much more. Casually
impeccable performances by the entire cast make this film a standout.
Directed by F. Gary Grey - Rated R
