Overnight Delivery

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!

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.

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.

I like watching a movie without expectations, but this love-comedy was well worth the time. I watched this movie only because it had Reese Witherspoon in in, who I am becoming more and more impressed with, particularly in comedies. She steals the scenes in this movie, and is the catalyst for all that happens. It is a surprisingly funny and good movie. Reminds me of Blood Simple (for all the weird things that keep happening) and Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (for all the weird things that keep happening). Not a well orchestrated movie, because things are somewhat disjointed (she takes him to the airport, but drops him off at the downtown convention center (reality mistake) and no reason for the cops to be there as they attempt to leave the restaurant after not paying (movie mistake)), but the acting is good and when the writing is right, it is very good.

This movie was surprisingly good. It's not the best-written or most original idea, but the comedy is surprisingly good. Also, Paul Rudd and Reese Witherspoon have great chemistry on-screen, and their comedic delivery is superb. The mail-truck driver is funny, as well. Not to mention that it's got Christine Taylor (you might know her from "The Wedding Singer", "Zoolander", or "Dodgeball").

In the end, it's one of those movies that you'll probably only watch when you have nothing else to do. So the next time you're really bored and have nothing to do, watch this movie- I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
