    Storyline

    Edit
    A man suspects his girlfriend of being unfaithful. So he sends her a letter, but then finds out that he was wrong. He has twenty-four hours to stop the package, prevent a disaster, and fall in love. The only problem is the delivery man will not stop until the package has been delivered. —Billy Plessel

    Edit
    • Trivia
      An early version of the script written by Kevin Smith featured a cameo appearance by him and Jason Mewes reprising their characters Jay and Silent Bob.
    • Goofs
      After the two get arrested they are supposed to be in Iowa, however when they leave the jail there is clearly a sign behind them that says Hastings, MN.
    • Quotes

      Ivy: Slut? Oh, oh, no. If I wanna bag a professor from one of my classes, I will, but nobody, and I mean nobody, calls me a slut, so the next time you feel like casting aspersions on my character, try remembering that this quote unquote slut is driving your judgmental ass all the way to Des Moines. So a little decency would be in order. Got it? Good.

    • Crazy credits
      On set puppy: Kaluha
    • Alternate versions
      In the TV version, when Kimberly is dictating the letter to Wyatt on the computer, her utterance of "...jerked off..." is changed to "...drooled...". However, the original words remain during a subsequent shot of the letter on the computer's monitor.

    Brings you in
    This movie was surprisingly good. It's not the best-written or most original idea, but the comedy is surprisingly good. Also, Paul Rudd and Reese Witherspoon have great chemistry on-screen, and their comedic delivery is superb. The mail-truck driver is funny, as well. Not to mention that it's got Christine Taylor (you might know her from "The Wedding Singer", "Zoolander", or "Dodgeball").

    In the end, it's one of those movies that you'll probably only watch when you have nothing else to do. So the next time you're really bored and have nothing to do, watch this movie- I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
