Critics Consensus

Rife with half-baked jokes and excessive violence, Next Day Air is an uninspired stoner comedy.

2/4
Next Day Air is sort of bracing, though it isn't very good: Its total lack of dramatic and comic bearings, to say nothing of a point, keeps you wondering about the next fatality, in a half-interested way. Go to Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle 05/14/2009
0.5/5
Consistently unremarkable from its dullsville title on down. Go to Full Review Michelle Orange Village Voice 05/13/2009
There are no cops, not much farcical energy, and none of the satiric edge it would take to pull off the film's grim denouement. Go to Full Review Joshua Starnes ComingSoon.net 04/20/2011

Next Day Air is well-intentioned but ill-thought, an amateur work by a first time filmmaking team trying to make the kind of film they like to watch, but ignorant of what makes those kinds of films work. Go to Full Review William Goss Cinematical 12/17/2009
[Director Benny Boom] keeps the proceedings competent in the face of a labyrinthine plot that begs for more so-called flair than it deserves. Go to Full Review Aaron Hillis GreenCine 11/17/2009

thiago s @Thiagostone 08/01/2025 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more 02/01/2020 Honestly this is a very sad movie. Not sad emotionally, but sad, just sad. They have Puerto Ricans claiming to be Dominicans. And they have blacks stabbing each other in the back. Robbing their own cousins. How sad is that, why would they even promote them type of actions. See more 07/23/2014 2/10 So unfunny it hurts See more 10/23/2013 Like most people, from the previews, I expected this to be something like the Barbershop or Friday movies and just be a good urban comedy. Instead, it also tries to be a serious street crime flick. However, it doesn't do either right and fails miserably as a result. A package gets sent to the wrong address and eventually, someone has to get it back. A waste of a great cast, should have been so much better. See more 06/10/2013 movie with some humor. See more 03/28/2013 It had its funny parts. See more Read all reviews
