Surprisingly incoherent and boring

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

How do you mess up a sure fire romantic comedy formula acted out by talented young actors? By making the characters completely idiotic and more importantly unlikable. Only thing that kept me from giving it a one was Reese Witherspoon. She's got charisma. Paul Rudd has it too, but the script wouldn't allow it to shine through. Don't bother with this one unless you're into mind numbing crap and wasting an hour and a half of your time thinking about how much better this movie could've been. You're better off checking out 40-year Old Virgin where Rudd plays a similar whining character but comes off as much more sincere, tongue in cheek, and actually funny. The physical comedy was a nice idea but seems a little misplaced and does nothing to distract from the incredibly crappy overly obvious dialogue. In fact, I recommend watching this movie with the sound off. The setups are completely obvious so you won't have any trouble following it and you'll get more laughs from Rudd's spastic facial expressions. If you want a good romantic road comedy with some smart, funny dialogue and God forbid, likable characters, try The Sure Thing.

After Freeway and Fear movies the leading role actress Reese Witherspoon shines with a joyful, extrovert and really charming character performed as Ivy Miller. Acting with Paul Rudd performed as Wyatt Trips, she is the girl striving for making her Prince charming aware of her. Christine Taylor performed as Kimberly is a famous cheerleader in their campus, dating with Wyatt. One day, Wyatt turns very jealous by a message from her and then starts to worry about his life as if it is coming to an end. Wyatt's friends help him forget her if she's cheating on him. That night in a dance club, a stripteaser girl named Ivy Von "Trap", alters Wyatt's philosophy of life through destroying his friends' ego. There comes a fight between Ivy and Wyatt's campus gang. This bonds Ivy and Wyatt as friends, after Wyatt forsakes his friends at the fight. Ivy tells the secrets of relations and the nonexistence of love to Wyatt by use of a cult speech. Then it becomes hard for Wyatt to realize the love of Ivy, if he can't rescue his heart from loving Kimberly hopelessly. Then by time a wonderful adventurous love is getting started by Kimberly's letter from Memphis. How a puzzle is this, you can't believe. While Wyatt wants to stop a package from delivery full of Ivy's ideas of good-bye speech that has been sent to Kimberly, there starts the road trip from Minneapolis to Memphis. At the end on the Valentines' Day in Memphis which one will be chosen by Wyatt, Ivy or Kim ? At the ending Wyatt becomes Tarzan to stop the delivery guy, and also becomes a prayer: "Dear God, I swear that I will never send any more package via Overnight Delivery again!"

I really liked this film. Its really fun and amusing and definatly better than alot of similar teen comedies like 'Loser' and 'She's all That' which are better known and got released at cinemas. Rudd and Witherspoon are both very likeable, while the film has a good sountrack and is short so as not to become tiresome. Jokes mostly hit the mark and there are a few which are very 'Kevin Smith-esq', obviously remaining from his much edited original script. If you want to watch a largely harmless, light hearted, and above all a cute and funny teen romance then you could do alot worse than give this one a rent if you can find it.Rating: 6.5/10

I was bored. I was hungry. It was a Sunday. While I was cooking something to ease the painful growling in my stomach, I happened upon "Overnight Delivery". Although this movie didn't make my meal more enjoyable, I didn't feel like I was watching paint dry.It's pretty much the typical banal storyline: Guy has Girl. Other Girl has eye on Guy. Guy screws up and has to go his Girl. Other Girl tags along. Other Girl and Guy have some silly adventure/end up sleeping together/share a kiss. Guy finally goes to Girl, leaving Other Girl alone to fume. Guy realizes, usually by a kiss/some flirting/heavy petting, he's in love with Other Girl. Guy leaves now his Ex-Girl to find Other Girl. Other Girl meets up with Guy, both express their love, and they walk hand and hand for a new adventure/away from wherever they are/to have sex/enter your own scenario here. The End. Don't step on that huge wad of Now and Later's on your way out of the Theatre--oh wait, this was a "direct-to-video" movie. Ooops, nevermind!I giving this movie a "5". As far as the too cute, too quirky, sometimes-trying-too-hard script (and even some of the acting) is concerned, I have to give it a "1". Come ON. Anyone that has seen this movie (and the thousands like it) know why I'm giving it a "1". NOTE: I adore Kevin Smith, and I know he dipped his pen into the script, but . . . something wasn't right about it. I can't put my finger (or my big toe) on what that "something" was, but it was something.Yet, the actors/actresses REALLY want you to enjoy this movie. They WANT to entertain you. Nowadays, some actors just read the script, report to work, get the check, and go home to live their over-paid lives. While there are NO Oscar winning performances (although if there was a category for "Most Unexpected Scene In a Movie Involving Guns", this flick may have had a shot, although I doubt it because it went straight to video), I have to give the performances (especially from Paul Rudd and Reese Witherspoon) a "10". I know what you're thinking, and I quote, "How can she give the script a '1', but give the performances a '10'?". It's quite simple: That's how the movie is set up. It's bipolar. Entertaining and utterly awful at the same time.I wanted to shut off the TV, but I couldn't. I had to see how the movie ended, although in the back of my mind, I already knew. Damn mind games.God help us all if they decide to make "Overnight Delivery 2" (Don't get any ideas all you budding screenwriters, I see your brains working!), but it wouldn't hurt to rent it one NIGHT, invite some friends OVER, and get some Pizza--DELIVERY. Ok, I was trying to be cute and quirky like the script, but, as per usual, it seems like I was trying too hard. Where's Kevin Smith when you need him? :)
