[3] The film starring Donald Faison and Mike Epps was produced on an estimated budget of $3 million.

Leo works for Next Day Air (NDA), a package delivery company, where his mother happens to be his boss, but is at risk of getting fired for any more mistakes.

Guch and Brody, two inept criminals, open the package and find ten bricks of cocaine hidden in a clay pot.

Shavoo and Buddy lock the clerk and his accomplice inside a garage, bound and gagged with duct tape.

Afterward, Shavoo limps away, nearly dead; Leo, completely uninjured, jumps up and leaves with the money and a shotgun, which he uses to scare Chita and some tenants.

Later, Hassie, Guch and Brody's unwanted roommate who mostly spent time sleeping on the couch, is seen coming out of the bathroom, having missed the entire incident.

[7] In the audio commentary of the DVD, the director mentions how he forbade the use of the "n" word for on-screen dialogue, and how that element is sometimes incorrectly attributed to Mos Def.

The site's consensus was "Rife with half-baked jokes and excessive violence, Next Day Air is an uninspired stoner comedy.

"[11] The Boston Globe writer Janice Page thought the film had too many "deep talks" and that "none of these characters provides more than a smattering of laughs.

"[12] Roger Ebert gave the film a more positive review stating that Benny Boom "knows what he's doing and skillfully intercuts the story strands."
