Overnight Delivery
Lovestruck undergrad Wyatt Trips (Paul Rudd) suspects that his girlfriend (Christine Taylor) is cheating on him, so he sends her a breakup letter complete with a "fake" used condom and a posed picture of himself with his stripper friend (Reese Witherspoon). But after learning that he was mistaken about his girlfriend's infidelity, he's got to intercept the letter -- cross country -- from the mailman before it gets into the "wrong" hands!

great date movie and a comedy - martoni86
It was an awesome movie. Better than Road Trip ( that movie totally ripped off this movie). The movie has a great story-line that gets you wondering what will happen next. You can`t go wrong with Paul Rudd and Reese Witherspoon in this movie, they are a perfect in the movie and their acting talent shine within this movie. With Paul`s crazy personality and Reese`s antics that cause more trouble for the both of them. It really shows you how they were great even before the millennium.
I have to say this is a classic for the years to come. Even if it really didn't get much buzz in the past. It is a movie is a definite RENT! It is a good comedy like road trip and can be a great date movie.Likable If Predictable - FilmJunkie
Okay, so it is pretty much the exact same plot as 'Road Trip'. However this film is far less crude and more charming. Paul Rudd plays Wyatt, an undergrad in a committed (if celibate) relationship with Kim (Christine Taylor) when he discovers she might be cheating on him. He therefore befriends a stripper, Ivy (Reese Witherspoon, yes you did read that correctly), takes some compromising photographs of the two together and sends the proof to Kim. In the morning, he discovers he may have been mistaken and thus takes to the road to stop the package.
What makes this film different is the crazy stuntwork. Wyatt constantly ends up in the most insane positions. From hanging out the back of a delivery truck, to almost falling off a cliff, to swinging like Tarzan on a rope over a University dormitory. Rudd is game for it all, and he makes it intensely watchable. We can see some of the ridiculous humour that would eventually make him a key player in the frat pack movies beginning here.
The chemistry between the two leads is also charming. Witherspoon has a lot of fun with her typical free spirit character, adding some needed gravitas to the tried and true stereotype.
All in all, it is a charming road comedy with a few surprises and two immensely likable leads.
