Overnight Delivery is a 1998 American movie directed by Jason Bloom. It was written by Marc Sedaka and Steven Bloom, but famed indie director Kevin Smith was hired to rewrite the script (uncredited). Exterior scenes were filmed in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

It's a romantic comedy about a man (Paul Rudd) who suspects his girlfriend (who's attending college across the country) is cheating on him. So he sends her a letter along with a photo of a girl posing topless with him, and a "faked" used condom. Then after he's already mailed the letter to his girlfriend, he finds out she didn't really cheat on him. So he and his stripper friend Ivy (Reese Witherspoon) go on a cross country trip to stop the letter from arriving at his girlfriend's dorm. Along the way he unexpectedly finds himself falling in love with Ivy instead.

Joey Lauren Adams was originally going to skip out on her part in Chasing Amy to play Ivy in this movie, but she lost the part to Reese Witherspoon. Joey's boyfriend at the time, Kevin Smith (although uncredited) wrote the final script used in the movie. Smith and Reese Witherspoon were never on the best of terms.

During the end sequence where Ivy (Reese Witherspoon) and Trips (Paul Rudd) are talking to each other, you can't hear what they're saying because of the background music. But this is their conversation, according to writer Kevin Smith:


REESE: Who wrote this shit?

PAUL: I think Kevin Smith.

REESE: Ugh! Didn't he write Mallrats?

PAUL: Yeah, but he also wrote Clerks.

REESE: Who cares? No wonder this dialogue sucked.
