Critic Reviews

Clint Morris, Moviehole
One of my favourite films...such spark, such giggles
Brent Simon, Entertainment Today
No shame needs to be attached to a public recounting of Overnight Delivery, a masters class entry in the comedic canon of fitfully mismatched twentysomething romances.
Bill Chambers, Film Freak Central
Arrives on DVD a day late and a dollar short

As Silverman says, "Two thumbs down, really unoriginal!"

I liked this movie. Paul Rudd stars as a man who wrote a mean letter to his g/f. He has second thoughts about it, so he's on a road trip with Reese Witherspoon to stop the delivery. Will they fall in the love on the way ? Of course, it's friggen Reese Witherspoon!
