Review of Next Day Air (2009) by Philip P — 24 May 2009

' Next Day Air' was like a bunch of rich kids got together and were able to make a movie that only has good actors because their dads have some kind of pull. It looked amateur at many parts and even the acting was bordering on horrible at some parts, especially that Jesus guy.

Though Mos Def is the bright spot of the film and gets center position on the movies poster, he is literally in the film for a total of about five minutes. Fason gives a half assed funny guy impersination that is wasted on a character we hope dies at the end-I would have rather it been him than the somewhat funnier Mike Epps.

Epps is usually a great supporting comic character, but here, he has nothing to do and nothing funny to say at all-even his obvious improvs are lame and typical. I would say if you really want to see this, wait and rent it, but I really can't recommend wasting any time with this film, I was one of three people in the theater and the film produced hardly any laughs from any of us.

It is hard to place this film in a category, you kind of get the sense for what they were going for, but it just doesn't work-I just wanted it to be over. The sad thing is, this plot isn't even contrived enough to engage you and that was the best thing it had going for it, was this somewhat good idea and execution, but it just didn't last and thats sad, alot of time and talent is wasted here.
