Friday is one of those movies that is pretty pointless but it spoke to a generation. I think the real reason why this movie works is due to the likability of the cast. You can't help but like Ice Cube and Chris Tucker despite them being complete slackers and a bit boneheaded. Their chemistry is great and their comedic timing is solid. The supporting cast also play their individual roles well despite the lack of material.
I find that I have no problem watching this movie and to a certain extent enjoy it but it still doesn't change the fact that it is nothing more than a cult hit movie that was released at the right time in history.
