If you're like me and one of your life goals is to see every 70's blaxploitation film that Pam Grier was in (and why wouldn't that be a life goal for a normal person?), eventually you're gonna get to Friday Foster. Even though it's got one of the finest supporting casts of any blaxploitation movie (Yaphet Kotto, Carl Weathers, Eartha Kitt, Scatman Crothers, Ted Lange), Friday Foster just isn't that great. There's a weird mix of realistic violence and over the top humor that just never connects on either level and the overall tone is all over the place. Despite the great cast and ever welcome sighting of Pam's goods, this one is best saved for people who really like blaxploitation films and are running out of ones to watch. Beginners should stick to Coffey and Foxy Brown instead.
Rating: 2/5
