Next Friday
The suburbs make the hood look good.
Directed by Steve Carr
Produced by New Line Cinema, Cube Vision
A high-energy comedy that uses fish-out-of-water culture clash and slapstick humor to mine laughs from a streetwise protagonist navigating suburban life while evading a vengeful pursuer.
A streetwise man flees South Central Los Angeles heading to the suburbs and his lottery-winner uncle and cousin to avoid a neighborhood thug with a grudge who has just escaped from prison. But trouble soon follows and the suburbs will never be the same.
