"Friday After Next" is a 2002 comedy film, directed by Marcus Raboy, starring Ice Cube and Mike Epps. It is the third installment in the "Friday" film series, and the sequel to the 2000 film "Next Friday".

Plot

The movie begins when a robber (Rickey Smiley) who, disguised as Santa Claus, breaks into Craig (Cube) and Day-Day's (Epps) house. Craig fights with the robber, bashing him with a Christmas tree while making frantic, futile attempts to wake Day-Day. The robber escapes with Craig and Day-Day's Christmas presents and rent money. The same morning, the police come over to get a report. After the police leave, Ms. Pearly (Bebe Drake) comes in and says that if the two don't pay their rent money by the next day, she'll evict them. Furthermore, she promises to send her homosexual ex-convict son, Damon (Terry Crews), after them if they don't pay in a timely manner. The same day, Craig and Day-Day get jobs as "Top Flight Security Guards" from Moly (Maz Jobrani), the property manager and owner of a notoriously squalid donut shop and the shopping center that they're assigned to patrol. Later that day, they meet Donna (K.D. Aubert) and Money Mike (Katt Williams), who run a fledgling shop called 'Pimps and Hoes'. The shopping center is also the home of a BBQ rib restaurant called 'Bros. BBQ', owned by the cousins' fathers, Willie (John Witherspoon) and Elroy (Don "D.C." Curry).

Craig and Day-Day throw a rent party later that night to recoup their stolen money and stay in their apartment. After the party is over, they see the robber and give chase, but are ultimately unsuccessful. Eventually, the robber gets run over by Pinky's (Clifton Powell) limousine. The movie then ends when Craig and Day-Day retrieve their Christmas presents and tie the robber up on a chimney.
