Overnight Delivery

This film was one of those that you will watch because there is nothing better on the television and it just draws your attention. I saw this movie during a free Showtime weekend. I enjoyed this film very much. It was amusing, funny, and had a good storyline on how a boyfriend goes from Minnesota to St. Louis to get a hold of a revenge package that he sent her, with the help of a new friend. I suggest that if you have the chance watch this movie. It will end making you happy.

This movie makes little sense--how Reese Witherspoon's character would fall for Paul Rudd's babyish character is a bit of a stretch. But the scenes on the road and the climax are hilarious. I'd never heard of this movie before I caught it on TV. I'm going to tape it. Great for any time you're looking for a nice brainless comedy. (Christine Armstrong is a great snotty prude too.)

I watched this movie, and I didn't quite know what to expect. I got everything I wanted.

The general storyline was a little predictable (hmm, she agrees to drive him cross-country to meet his girlfriend, and they end up falling in love. Who would've thought?) But the story unfolding on the screen (ignoring the premise behind it) was cute, and very entertaining. If you can get past the fact that this movie has a pretty basic "Yeah, you all know they're gonna fall in love" idea, then you will enjoy this movie.

Not the best film I've ever seen, but it is entertaining.

The screenplay was originally written by Kevin Smith (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma) and was then re-written by so many people that his name was omitted from the film. His trademark "Jaws" reference remains!

However, there are bits of dialogue that were obviously Smith's or were at least adapted from his original dialogue.

Worth watching, but don't expect too much!

Picked this film up one day at the video store, and was surprised to note (through the IMDb) that it was written by independant icon, Kevin Smith.

Having watched Smith's "Jersey Trilogy" before, I was pleasantly surprised to note that the references to other KS films had been kept down to a minimum, but this could obviously be due to the other writers being around.

In short, this movie's merit came from the wacky, off-beat humor that is so lacking in some films today. Not just a barrage of sexually-orientated jokes (although there were a couple), the film actually made room for a storyline amongst all it's humor.

In short, Overnight Delivery is another good, funny film to come from the mind of Kevin Smith, and actors Paul Rudd and Reese Witherspoon have just enough cool, hip bravado and wit to pull off the roles.
