[edit] Events of the films
[edit] Friday
Before the series began, he had a job but got fired the day before the beginning of the film because "he got caught stealing boxes". He also has a girlfriend, a hood rat who constantly talks to him over the phone. He is a laid-back kind of guy, and all he wants to do is live life before something happens to him. He sometimes has some arguments with his sister Dana, who is more ambitious than Craig. He and Smokey try to beat the neighborhood "pest" Lil' Chris, and they finally got him and he (Craig) also made a name for himself when he knocked the neighborhood bully Deebo out. At the end of the day, his girlfriend calls him one night concerning how does she put up to Graig's mess, leading to an immediate break-up, much to Graig's delight.
[edit] Next Friday
Things change after that day. Smokey was in rehab, Stanley left the neighborhood, and Deebo broke out of prison a week (or month) later, causing him to leave as well to his sex-crazed uncle's house, where he gets himself into more (mis)adventures along with his cousin Day-Day (Mike Epps) when they receive a certified notice that his uncle's house will be auctioned by the next day as a result of not paying his bills. However Deebo was arrested again that friday.
[edit] Friday After Next
A week later (or a year later), Craig and Day-Day were robbed by a fake Santa Claus and got jobs as security guards. They deal with Damon, Money Mike, a gang of religious mothers, and a burglar dressed up as Santa Claus later and get their stuff back. In the end Craig gets another girlfriend.
He has a dad who works as a dog catcher (but "Friday After Next" was working at a restaurant) and a mom who loves him, but who also likes to get him into trouble. He also has a "rich" uncle in Rancho Cucamonga, as well as a cousin (Day-Day) who lands on the "list" of people who will likely get shot. But Craig lives each day as any other day (except perhaps Friday).
