    Like a black Guy Ritchie movie, basically.
  • May 23, 2009
    a drug delivery goes wrong in philadelphia, whatever could happen next? ok, ok, but it's not supposed to be grade-a entertainment, only a sort of inner city character stereotype convention at best, and still worth a chuckle or two.

    Gooch: Who sent us this package.
    Brody: God sent it.

    You know, sure this idea is familiar. 10 people, one particular item being shared between them, their plots all intersecting, eventually leading to a stand off of some sort, but you know what, I still enjoyed this movie. It ha...( read more)s a solid cast and is well directed.

    Leo: I dropped a box off here. It was the wrong address. So do you have it?
    Brody: Well...it was here.

    The plot involves a delivery man, Donald Faison, dropping off a box of cocaine in at the wrong house belonging to a couple of crooks, Mike Epps and Wood Harris. The crooks then decide to sell the drugs to their dealer cousin. Meanwhile, the people who the drugs belong to go on a search for their missing good, so their drug dealer boss doesn't kill them.

    So yes, Lock, Stock, Snatch and Reservoir Dogs (among many others) have played these cards before, but this movie still works at being entertaining. Moving up from music videos, director Benny Boom knows what works for this material and guides the movie along, briskly paced, and staged well enough for the different characters. All of the characters here basically work in groups, and they all have good chemistry with each other in their separate scenes. The movie functions well as a crime comedy, but even towards the end when some tension creeps in, the movie manages to deliver on that aspect as well.

    A fun enough diversion, even if its summer blockbuster season.

    Jesus: Yo, where did you drop it off.
    Leo: Honestly I don't remember, I was high off my ass yesterday.

    An attempted comedy of errors revolving around a misdelivered stash of cocaine. Never actually funny, just lightly amusing..up until the deflating finale.
  • December 1, 2009
    well mos def's appearance in this film was too episodic
  • November 21, 2009
    This movie was dry, and predictable. The ending was not fitting to the movie itself. I was particularly not amused by Mike Epps character.
  • November 20, 2009
    hated it and didn't watch more than 10 minutes...
  • November 18, 2009
    There's way too many "drug" movies coming out and most of them portray the whole drug culture in much too positive a light.
  • November 14, 2009
    Was a alright movie with a message.

Armond White, The New York Press

Filmgoers who think outside the artmovie box will discover that the artful and enjoyable Next Day Air offers an episode of 21st-century black American life that August Wilson never got to. full review

May 8, 2009
Kyle Smith, New York Post

Far from the worst of Taran tino knockoffs, Next Day Air takes the standard formula of dimwits chasing bags of drugs to the 'hood. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

A fiasco. A flop. A failure's failure. Next Day Air aims low but still misses the target. full review

May 7, 2009
Claudia Puig, USA Today

Next Day Air can't decide whether it's a broad stoner comedy or a gritty Tarantino-esque action flick. The humor is there, but violence brings the laughter to an abrupt halt. full review

May 7, 2009
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Next Day Air is a bloody screwball comedy, a film of high spirits. It tells a complicated story with acute timing and clarity, and gives us drug-dealing lowlifes who are almost poetic in their clockwo... full review
