What happens

Friday After Next is a 2002 American stoner comedy film directed by Marcus Raboy (in his feature directorial debut) and starring Ice Cube (who also wrote the film), Mike Epps (in a dual role), John Witherspoon, Don "D.C." Curry, Anna Maria Horsford, and Clifton Powell as Pinky. It is the third installment in the Friday trilogy as it tells the story of Craig and his cousin Day-Day getting jobs as security guards at a shopping center when a robber dressed as Santa Claus breaks into their apartment and steals their presents and the rent money that is to be given to their landlady. The film was theatrically released by New Line Cinema on November 22, 2002, to generally negative reviews, though it was deemed an improvement over its predecessor, while grossing $33.5 million against a $10 million budget.
