Next Day Air Unedited and Uncensored

Written by Jonathan Jacobs

This movie is not good. It’s a stereotype wrapped in a racist blanket, seasoned with marijuana, topped off with a heavy dose of bloodshed, and sprinkled with cocaine. I settled in expecting an action/comedy and what I received was a misguided attempt at something that just didn’t work.

      Next Day Air is the story of bumbling pothead UPS style delivery driver Leo (Donald Faison), who, in a marijuana-laced haze, accidentally delivers a very specific package to the incorrect address. The "package" happens to contain ten bricks of cocaine and small time thugs Guch (Wood Harris) and Brody (Mike Epps) are thanking their lucky stars when the "gift from God" lands on their doorstep. Thinking they’ve hit pay dirt, the two make plans to sell the bricks in exchange for a very hefty amount of cash. Before too long, the packages intended recipient Jesus (Cisco Reyes) catches on to the ploy and makes efforts to get his package back. Chaos ensues and ultimately the lives of ten individuals are changed forever.

     I don’t even know where to begin why or how this went wrong. Mos Def should be ashamed of his cameo, because he’s a hell of a lot better than this flick. Mike Epps can never ever be taken seriously no matter how hard he tries or what role he is tossed into. He always comes off as a bumbling fool all wacked out on dope and racist to a perilous fault. He embodies nearly every stereotype that blacks have tried to overcome. The only decent part of this whole situation is Donald Faison. He channels some parts of his character "Murray" from 1995’s Clueless and it works quite well. He shines as the witless delivery guy who is rarely seen without a joint hanging off his lip. Sadly, Faison couldn’t save this sinking ship.

      This thing was billed as a comedy more than an action flick and it definitely never displayed any kind of a serious tone in any of its promotions. The comedy existed, I suppose, and Mos Def was good in his few scenes, but most of the jokes fell flatter than a penny on a railroad track. It was tired, old, comedy that played on more racial stereotypes than Eddie Murphys Saturday Night Live version of Mr. Rogers. The action left a lot to be desired as well. I mean, seriously, if I have to hear Mike Epps talk jive and wave around a semi automatic one more time I may just turn a weapon on my DVD player.

      The end of this debacle is what superiorly confused me the most. The film was filled with failed attempts at humor and action that seemed a bit too put on for my taste, but at least I knew what I was getting. There were no real curveballs tossed my way. Then the final scene(s) came around and suddenly out of absolutely nowhere the thing got serious. The music got a bit more emotional and it was obvious that I as a viewer was supposed to suddenly be touched and moved by what was happening. This movie was trying to make me feel, but by the time it let me know that it was too little and too late. The ending was a sucker punch not in the fact that I didn’t expect it, but rather in the fact that it didn’t fit with the rest of the entire movie.

      I wouldn’t recommend this film to really anyone. It didn’t keep my interest, I didn’t really care about much it had to offer, and it failed at what it attempted to do. The few bright spots were not nearly enough to make this thing fully fathomable. Mos Def, you owe me!
