It stars Paul Rudd and Reese Witherspoon as a college student and a stripper who take a road trip across America to retrieve a package that had been impulsively sent to a girlfriend.

He is in a long-distance relationship with his high school girlfriend, Kimberly Jasney, who is currently a student at the University of Memphis.

She suggests to Wyatt to break up with Kim by sending her a scathing letter and a topless picture of himself with Ivy.

Wyatt buys an air ticket to Memphis, but his co-passenger turns out to be a serial killer, John Dwayne Beezly, who takes him hostage.

Fearing that if he went back to the airport, the FBI would question him and he would not make it to Memphis in time, he begs Ivy to drive him all the way.

At their next stop, Des Moines, Iowa, airport officials do not allow Wyatt to board the connecting flight.

En route to St. Louis, they have an argument leading to an accident which ends up with their vehicle falling into the river.

After breaking up with her, he runs into another guy wearing the same kind of locket that Kim gave him long ago.

The producers include Roger Birbaum and Bradley Tenkel, and the production companies are the MPCA and Caravan Pictures.

"In what should have been a good film produced in Minnesota," Neal says, "Overnight Delivery gets lost in an unworthy script."

Club wrote that while the two lead actors had done good work elsewhere they were "atrocious" in this film, "He's irritatingly smarmy, she's abrasively sassy, and together they're insufferable."
