Movie Review: Leo (Faison of “Scrubs”) is a pot-smoking slacker working for Next Day Air, a shipping company and UPS rip-off. Leo delivers a box to a wrong address while under the influence of narcotics. Instead of delivering the package to Jesus (Reyes) and Chita (Deliz), Leo leaves the package with Brody (Epps) and Guch (Harris), two bumbling criminal hoods. Soon, several mob bosses and other scoundrels all enter the picture, looking for the package Leo left at the wrong address. Why are they all concerned with this one package? The item contains 10 kilos of high-quality cocaine.
A bunch of comedians and other funny characters comprise the cast. With such funny people, one would think this film would be tremendously hilarious. It is not. “Air” is ultra-stupid. The plot is interesting but the array of characters is goofy to the point of unbelievable hype. This comedy is as transparent as air and just as weighty.
Grade: D- (Return to sender)
