[4] MarVista's president, Michael D. Jacobs, and the company's CEO, Fernando Szew, served as executive producers.

Marc Lorber, MarVista's senior VP of production, and Sue Reiner, the company's head of television, served as co-executive producers alongside Island Film Group's Ricardo S. Galindez and Roy J. Tjioe.

Michael Scott directed the movie from a script written by Matt Dearborn, whose credits include Beyond the Break, Beverly Hills, 90210 and the Disney Channel series Even Stevens.

Song has stated, "It also stars Lisa Edelstein from House and Robert Grant [sic], who's on Queer as Folk.

Maxine is constantly on the move and is always traveling, and likes to keep it that way, ever since she watched her young child, Penny, die in a terrible car accident.

Maxine's current delivery is Alice, the troubled and emotionally struggling daughter of one of China's richest businessmen.

In July 2009, the film's rating changed to PG, which means that general viewing may be unsuitable for young children.

The reviewer also said, Song who sings some of the soundtrack, not only adds to the amusing aspects of the movie, she also succeeds in allowing her bratty character to become both likeable and understandable.

The Australian publication, "Urban CineFilm" said: "Engaging from the start, Special Delivery introduces us to Max (Lisa Edelstein) as the resourceful courier, who was once a high flying lawyer ... and married ... and a mother ... We start picking up the pieces that make up the bigger picture of Max and our interest is piqued.

When she takes on the job of escorting a spoilt 14-year-old (Brenda Song) from Macau to Hawaii, the generation gap conflict provides plenty of sparks, but a sense of danger is also introduced, making it an edgy trip.

Brenda Song is terrific as the spoilt brat on a journey that will sober her up and Edelstein is feisty and likeable (and reminiscent of Jennifer Connelly) as the no-nonsense Max - with demons to keep at bay.

The screenplay has a sense of fun, which director Michael Scott translates well onto the screen, so the action and tension is spiced with hip humour, based on character as well as situation.
