Classic Friday : Overnight Delivery (1998) 8/10

Starring : Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd, Larry Drake, Christine Taylor, Tobin Bell
Director : Jason Bloom
Running Time : 88 mins

When Wyatt Trips (Rudd) thinks that his girlfriend Kimberly (Taylor) is cheating on him while she's away at college, he decides to pre-empt her and, with the aid of stripper Ivy Miller (Witherspoon), sends her an express parcel filled with fictional evidence about his own infidelities. But when he discovers that he's made a mistake, he and Ivy take a cross country trip to infiltrate the package before his girlfriend receives it.

This comedy about simple misunderstandings is sometimes a little over the top, but overall it's pretty effective. Witherspoon and Rudd play perfectly off each other and keep this movie on its toes from beginning to end. A few years after this Road Trip came out, which had almost the exact same plot, but no one else seems to have noticed.
