'''''Friday''''' is an urban comedy film created by Ice Cube in 1995 and directed by Felix Gary Gray (his first film). ''Friday'' tells the story of Craig Jones (Ice Cube), a UPS worker that ends up getting fired ''on his day off'' as the film opens; as a result, Craig hangs around the porch of his house for pretty much the whole day. Craig's friend Smokey (Chris Tucker) joins him as the duo observes the other oddball characters in the neighborhood. Things take a drastic turn when Smokey is revealed to owe money to a drug dealer named Big Worm (Faizon Love), who gives Smokey until nightfall to pay him for the weed he was supposed to sell (Smokey ended up smoking it instead). Craig ends up getting pulled into the mess, and the duo frantically try to think of a way to earn the money before the deadline.
A moderate success when it was released, ''Friday'' earned $28,215,918 in the international market; most of it came from the United States, where it was the 62nd most successful film of its year.
