Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
SnoopyStyle Brody (Mike Epps), Guch (Wood Harris) and Hassie are incompetent bank robbers. Leo (Donald Faison) is a weed-smoking incompetent delivery man who has to beg his mother to keep his job. He delivers a box to the wrong apartment. It turns out to be a box filled with bricks of cocaine. They try to sell them to cousin Shavoo and he promises to come back with the money. Meanwhile Jesus is trying to find his package and assumes that Leo stole it. Jesus and Chita track down the wrong delivery guy Eric (Yasiin Bey).Everybody is idiotic. Everybody is annoying. Everybody is arrogant. The problem is that I hate a lot of these characters. The biggest problem is Donald Faison because he is the most annoying of them all. He is the one character who shouldn't be the arrogant annoying idiot. He should be the innocent in the lot. The comedy comes from him getting caught up in a situation beyond his control. I want Leo to get killed in the most horrific way possible. Yasiin Bey would have been infinitely more likable as Leo. Mike Epps and Wood Harris are a fun duo. Their part is watchable but I hate most of the rest.
p-stepien Being addicted to the doobie may not be the best character trait when working for a courier service. Leo (Donald Faison) seems unperturbed, given his mother is the person who hired him. On another typical high Leo mistakenly delivers a package full of heroine to a bunch of slightly retarded wannabee gangsta / bank robbas / criminimal masterminds Brody (Mike Epps) and Guch (Wood Harris). This quickly causes a series of events which lead to the opening scene of the movies: Leo being surrounded by people with guns and a low tolerance for ineptitude."Next Day Air" closely follows in the footsteps set out by movies such as "Snatch" or "51st State", although this time around it takes place entirely in the States with 80% of the movie occurring in two rooms. As can be expected it is a mix of unabated comedy with brutal gangsters, fast talking criminals and crazy sequence of events ending with a grand showdown finale to tie all the separate plots and characters together.Based on a very rudimentary plot the movie aims at delivering the package with the minimum necessary runtime. At just 84 minutes and no less than 9 main characters being involved there is no place for their development, background or emotional involvement. Instead we get a fast paced movie (which somehow manages to find time to have pointless detours into non-funny side scene attractions) with a lack of purpose. None of the character are able to catch your attention and involve you in the story, although Omari Hardwick (playing a drug dealer wanting out of business) does his sincerest best to bridge the script shortcomings.A sorely empty package filled with fluff, but at least the delivery is express so at least you won't waste a lot of time waiting for it to be over and done with.
riccimex yes, this is one of those movies who shouldn't have been filmed, the only good thing here its a Latin lady which in particular I find hot, apart from that its a waste of time.the starting its kinda promising, a drug adict worker (who turns to be the son of the supervisor) cant stop smoking weed and at some point this would take the movie to the next level, where he mistakenly delivers a package to a wrong address, then the movie falls deep into a flat story.there are some laughs yes, but nothing new, don't expect a lot from this movie cause you wont get any.
dutchbeats Hey what can I say I like stuff you don't have to think about! I was surprised how good this flick is; simple and well-paced with genuinely funny moments and actors. There is also some eye candy(as well as nose candy!) but hey, what do you expect from the film directing debut of the guy who makes videos for 50 Cent? It looks and feels like a Guy Richie movie so if you liked those you'll enjoy the 'American version' replete with slow motion shotgun blasted dude flying through the air in slow motion in the apartment. But if you think it's all about violence think again, this film is pure jokes and cameos(cassidy, mos def, debbie allen etc.)with lots of herb smoking and hard hip-hop backdrops. And besides, who hasn't fantasized about hog-tying and slapping the UPS guy? I know I have. Did I mention the dude from Family Matters is in it and totally kicks @##!?
