donfischi this movie was a very big disappointment. when i read about it the first time i thought it could be quite funny. the synopsis suggested a crime comedy mix with some nice twists and plenty to laugh about. but i was totally mistaken.the plot had no real dynamic and all the plot twists were not surprising at all, if you can even call them twists. add to that a bunch of stereotype characters with no depth and personality and you can imagine how captivated i was by this movie. i thank god that the total absence of good jokes and comedy didn't distract me form experiencing this absence of emotion in this great void of boredom.don't get me wrong. i didn't want to puke during the movie or something like that. it was only after i resurfaced from this sea of dullness that i realized how much of a big waste of time this movie was.

Jackpollins In a summer of action films, and raunchy comedies, it is refreshing to see an action-thriller-comedy like Next Day Air. It stars the very funny Donald Faison as Leo, an NDA worker who accidentally delivers a package belonging to a drug lord to a bunch of pot smoking, unsuccessful robbers. Emilio Rivera is both funny and creepy as the drug lord. Mike Epps and Wood Harris are excellent as the unsuccessful robbers who accidentally get the package. The movie is both thrilling and funny, although it is a bit off center, and someone's thumb gets cut off which was not needed. The movie's final showdown also wears the movie down. It is a very good movie, though. The movie is only about 90 minutes, but it would of been nice if it was 75 minutes, because that final, bloody shoot out was not needed. The movie is still very recommendable, and the cast is top-notch. The movie has a lot of laughs and still makes room for a lot of thrills. Overall, this is worth it, but I wouldn't say it's the work of a perfectionist or the work of a genius, just a pretty good movie.

charlytully Sure, there is an attempt by script writer Blair Cobbs to have some sort of story or "plot" for this movie, set in the underbelly of today's urban America. And yes, of course director Benny Boom tries to elicit the most realistic or "believable" acting performances possible from such film veterans as Mike Epps, Mos Def, and Debbie Allen, all of whom appear in NEXT DAY AIR. But, when you get down to brass tacks, this flick is all about showing the nitty gritty life down in the trenches of U.S. inner-cities. This site, IMDb, has a feature available for most movies called "key words." I found the listings there particularly revealing for NEXT DAY AIR. The key words provided for this movie include "cocaine," "female nudity," "marijuana," "punched in the face," "pot-head," "drug dealer," "gang-banger," "cockfighting," "shoot-out," and "thug." Obviously, NEXT DAY AIR can provide a valuable key to survival in urban America for those visiting there from Switzerland or Grosse Pointe Farms.

Douglas Young (the-movie-guy) (Synopsis) Leo (Donald Faison) works as a next day delivery driver who is delivering packages while being high on weed. Leo deliverers a package containing 10 bricks of high quality cocaine to the wrong apartment number. Two smalltime hoods, Brody (Mike Epps) and Guch (Wood Harris) open the box and find a gift from heaven. They immediately arrange to sell the coke to Brody's drug dealer cousin for $150,000. In the meantime, Jesus (Cisco Reves) tries to track down who got his package before the drug kingpin, Bodega Diablo (Emilio Rivera) notices that his drugs are missing. Unfortunately, time has run out and Bodega is in town, and he is furious that his shipment is lost. Bodega will get his drugs back or heads will roll. During the same time, Brody and Guch are about to complete their drug deal with Guch's cousin. They are on a collision course with destiny, because they are about to have company knocking at their door. (My Comment) This is a funny movie about a package shipping company and the things we think they do to our packages before we get them, such as opening packages and taking watches or other items out, and throwing packages around in the truck before they are delivered to us. The real companies try not to do these things, or they would be out of business. But it is a lot of fun watching some of the things they do in this movie. Mike Epps and Wood Harris are just great as two inept criminals. The bank robbery at the beginning of the movie should win the stupidest criminal award this year. The movie is a little slow at the beginning, but it picks up by the end. There is a moral to the story, don't do or sell drugs. (Summit Entertainment, Run Time 1:30, Rated R)(7/10)
