Next Day Air (2009)
Next Day Air is a very meaningful film, yeah, this is what I can say about it, meaningful. You will find out why soon.
Wikipedia describes Next Day Air like this:
Next Day Air is a 2009 action comedy film that was released by Summit Entertainment on May 8, 2009. The Motion Picture Association of America, Inc. has rated the film “R” due to “pervasive language, drug content, some violence and brief sexuality”.
The story is not complicated, may I say it is simple?
Plot:
A courier (Donald Faison) accidentally brings smalltime hoods, Brody (Mike Epps) and Guch (Wood Harris), a box containing 10 kilos of cocaine meant for their next-door neighbors. Brody and Guch immediately arrange to sell the cocaine to Brody’s drug dealer cousin (Omari Hardwick). The intended recipients of the package, wannabe gangster Jesus (Cisco Reyes) and his girlfriend (Yasmin Deliz), realize the box hasn’t arrived and set out to find it before drug kingpin Bodega Diablo (Emilio Rivera) notices it’s missing.
See? It’s not complicated, easy to grab. But it does mean something, this is why I love this film.

Let’s take a look at what others said about Next Day Air:
It was funny. The actors were gorgeous i personally can’t wait to see Mike Epps and Omari Hardwick do something serious like an action thriller. It was a great movie and it offered sound advice at..
In watching this Summit film, I couldn’t help but notice the similarities in this movie to Lost In Transit (September 2008). Next Day Air is basically about some black employees at a shipping company who misbehave. LIT is about a black “supervisor” who runs a shipping company and misbehave he does!

My husband and I went to see this movie on Sat. I thought it was a good movie, however my husband thought it needed more comedy.
