    Ohhh... so cute!

    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!

    Cute movie. Better than I thought it would be, lots of big actors in it. Jason made fun of me for renting it.

    Paul Rudd is pretty funny in this and Reese Witherspoon is super cute. This flick is pretty enjoyable as the two of them hit the road.

    Paul Rudd's adorableness, and semi-chemistry with Witherspoon, is not enough to make this one float. You know where it's going the second it leaves, no delivery confirmation needed.

    it was cool to see Paul Rudd, Reese Witherspoon, Sarah Silverman and Christine Taylor before they were famous. I liked Rudd's and Witherspoon's chemistry together.

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. Full Review
